Meyer Orestegon 29mm f/2.8 M42 Lens Review |
One of the forgotten master pieces, Meyer-Optik produced high quality lenses, but these days people don't know about anything that. I have almost all Meyer and Carl Zeiss Jena lenses and I tell you guys, Meyer products same high quality lenses than Zeiss.
I like on this lens everything, it has solid build quality, render very sharp contrasty images. Color is excellent , what can I say more ? Grab one if you can you won't be dissapointed.  Sample pictures: Resources: ebay.com | ebay.co.uk | ebay.de  |
The optical performance of this lens is passable, but not stellar. It is on par with Japanese OEM manufacturers of the time (Tokina, Sigma, Tamron), but not as good as e.g. Pentax Takumar or Canon FD lenses.
