jerzy Posted September 26, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 26, 2020 No, it is not. It is FED lens, sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopena Posted December 14, 2020 Share #4 Posted December 14, 2020 Jerzy: I’m a newbie here so I’d be very interested in learning what things tipped you off that the lens above is a copy. many thanks! Alan N.J. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stvn66 Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted December 14, 2020 I am no expert but I THINK the groove edging should be crisscrossed on the aperture ring and the lever that locks the lens is incorrect and normally has a cone shape knob on the top. This is a general guide and there may be exceptions, maybe a lens guru can clarify this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted December 14, 2020 Share #6 Posted December 14, 2020 Iopena, Elmar came with differents flavors, so over years they had some differences, but something to learn with genuine ones to compare.

jerzy Posted December 14, 2020 Share #7 Posted December 14, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) as noctilux wrote there are various flavours of Elmar but none of them is like above faked from FED. I selected few details, left is faked lens, right is genuine Elmar. Welcome, dear visitor!
