jmahto Posted January 20, 2016 Share #1  Posted January 20, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am an engineer and I really like nicely machined parts. For me there is beauty in old mechanical lenses and accessories. suffice to say I love German engineering.  The ingredients: L to R: hood, 135mm Tele-Elmar lens head, focusing adaptor OTZFO 16464K, R to M adaptor 14127, APO-Extender 2X making 270mm f/8 lens on Nex-6 with perfect infinity focus.
