A bundle of three vintage photographic prime lenses, all in excellent condition, tested, and supplied with protective carry cases (no original retail boxes). Ideal for film shooters or those using adapted vintage glass on modern mirrorless or DSLR cameras. Each lens offers a distinct character and shooting profile.
Details on Each Lens
Miranda 28 mm f/2.8 (Olympus OM mount)
Focal length / Aperture: 28 mm, f/2.8 maximum — a classic wide-angle prime, great for landscapes, street photography, architecture, and environmental portraits.
Mount & use: Olympus OM mount, making it compatible with OM-series film bodies — but also easily adaptable to many modern mirrorless cameras with a simple OM → mirrorless adapter.
Build & optics: Compact and lightweight for a wide-angle lens; multi-coated glass; reportedly no haze, fungus, or visible defects in this set. Aperture ring clicks cleanly, focus is smooth.
Performance notes: As with many budget 28 mm primes of its era — wide open at f/2.8 you may see some vignetting or slightly softer corners, but stopping down to f/5.6–f/8 significantly improves sharpness and contrast. Many vintage-lens shooters value it as a compact, affordable wide‑angle with character.
Condition in set: No defects, functioning as normal.
Miranda 50 mm f/2 (Olympus OM mount)
Focal length / Aperture: 50 mm, f/2 — a “standard” normal‑field prime that’s versatile for portraits, general‑purpose shooting, lifestyle, everyday photography.
Mount & adaptability: OM mount — works directly on Olympus OM film bodies; with an inexpensive adapter it can also be used on modern mirrorless sensors.
Lens type & usage: Classic 50 mm “nifty‑fifty” character. As a vintage manual‑focus lens, it’s great for those wanting full control over focus and aperture, and for users who value the vintage look and feel of older glass.
Condition in set: No defects, functioning as normal.
Carl Zeiss Tessar 50 mm f/2.8 (M42 mount)
Focal length / Aperture / Design: 50 mm with a maximum aperture of f/2.8. This is based on the classic Carl Zeiss “Tessar” optical formula, a renowned design originally conceived by Paul Rudolph in 1902 — a four‑element, three‑group lens known for good sharpness, contrast, and compact size.
Mount & versatility: M42 screw mount — one of the most widely used vintage lens mounts. Easily adapted to many modern mirrorless camera systems via inexpensive M42 → mirrorless adapters.
Optical character: The Tessar design gives punchy contrast, good edge‑to‑edge sharpness (especially stopped down), and a somewhat vintage rendering that many users find desirable. According to lens reviews, this model remains popular because it delivers “classic” Zeiss‑style results without modern optical sterility.
Build quality & mechanical: Compact and solid metal build; focus ring and aperture mechanism remain smooth and functional in this set. Many users report that a good example of this Tessar lens works great on both film cameras and adapted digital bodies.
Condition: No defects, functioning as normal.
Why This Bundle Is Special
Varied focal range in one haul: With a wide-angle 28 mm, a versatile 50 mm “normal,” and a classic Tessar 50 mm, you cover a lot of common shooting needs with vintage primes.
Mount variety: Two OM‑mount lenses for Olympus film cameras, plus one M42 — giving flexibility if you shoot with multiple platforms or mirrorless bodies.
Vintage character & value: These lenses offer a more organic, “film‑era” rendering compared to modern everything‑auto lenses. Great for film photography, portraiture, street, or creative work.
Cost‑effective kit: Buying a three‑lens kit — especially with the inclusion of a less common wide‑angle prime — gives more lens per pound than buying each separately.
Ready to use: All lenses tested, working, with protective cases included; no haze, fungus, or obvious defects reported.
