A new project
This is a Cosina Auto Consinon 50/1.7, early zebra version. The zebra version f1.7 is a reasonably rare lens, but this one only cost me £10.22p. Its focus ring is completely stuck.
I was looking for another repair project....However, so far I've not been able to unjam the focus ring from the body. So it's currently swimming in WD-40, before taking a vinegar bath. And then the hair-drier treatment!
Why all the fuss? Because according to some users on the internet, this lens swirls more than a Helios 44-2. We shall see hopefully, someday.
