Prost 55mm 1.4 Radioactive version amazingly easy to focus and get great images with proper PP.

A couple of exotic "Heath Robinson" arrangements - both on a 601 but they'll fit my more recently acquired SL2S.  Using an M-L adapter, one with an M macro bellows and the other a combination of a 90mm M barrel and a 3-part extension tube set with adapter rings.  The lenses are X4 standard microscope objectives screwed into an adapter ring that cost about £1.50 from a well known on-line market place.  The chromium plated lens has a focal length of 150mm - cost about £4. The black anodised one is 1/infinity to give a little more working distance - cost about £12 - both new from China!  The camera tells me they're f19.  DoF in miniscule!!!!  I'll send a couple of images in the next post...

I've used - and use - a few exotic lenses on my SL2-S and my SL before that.  For example:

  • 1934 Leitz 73/1.9 Hektor
  • 1947 Carl Zeiss Jena 50/2 Sonnar
  • 1948 Zeiss Opton 85/2 Sonnar
  • 1951 Carl Zeiss Jena 58/2 Biotar
  • Helios-40 85/1.5 (Biotar copy)
  • Helios-44 58/2 (Biotar copy)
  • Zeiss 75/1.5 Biotar,
  • Minolta 85/2.8 VariSoft Rokkor
  • Konica 21-35/3.5-4.0 M-Hexanon Dual
  • Leica 80/1.4 Summilx-R

How was the experience with the Konica Hexanon? I've used it briefly on the SL but corners were pretty bad on my copy.

I don't recall using it wide open at 21 mm on the SL2-S, it was at f/8 most of the time, so I don't recall the corners being noticeably bad.

I've used it wide open on M cameras and the corners were okay - no more than a stop and half vignette and not overtly smushy.  For a bona fide wide angle zoom lens I think it punches well above its weight.

The Voigtlander 12mm f/5.6 ver.1, not the best lens but still do well for my need. 
I wonder if the limited edition of China lens consider exotic?

Hey, I have tried a lot of different vintage and modern cinema lenses on my SL2. Sometimes just for fun. But also for jobs, both stills and as a b-cam for some effect shot or rig. 

1. Cooke Speed Panchro 40mm T2.3 TLS Rehouse 
2. Cooke S7/i 32mm T2 
3. Zeiss Masterprime  32mm T1.3
4. Technovision 1.5x Anamorphic 75mm T2.5
5. Angeniuex 15-40 T2.6
6. Zeiss Supreme Prime 21mm T1.5

Yeah! That's exotic! Thanks for sharing. I think that demonstrate the great versatility of the S system as a universal platform.
