Kuri 35mm on eBay

[Cadmium]

Here is a Kuribayashi 35mm f/3.5 on eBay, in Arizona.

"Vintage Kuribayashi Petri Orikkor K.C. 35mm f3.5 No.36478"

eBay item number: 294141759850

 

It is not cheap, but it is an excellent lens for UV.

The real thing, not a clone.

THANK YOU! I've wanted one for eons. I think I paid similar for my Noflexar, alas. Prices have gone up.

Andy, you are buying some nice gear lately.

 

Looking forward to see what you can do with it. They are special because they are sharp and have very little focus shift between VIS and UV (and a very deep reach).

[Andy Perrin]

Well I am still working on the “ghost advertisement” project with ICA, which needs sharp wide-angle images across the spectrum, so that’s one thing it will probably be used for.

[Cadmium]

You might ask if they can find the hood for that, which would make it a complete set.

[OlDoinyo]

Congratulations. I was thinking strongly about that one, but you were first.

[Andy Perrin]

It came! It was in pretty good shape. I cleaned it up with some lens fluid and now I just need free time to snap some photos!

 

I was surprised by one thing — is the aperture meant not to click? It just turns smoothly like with a video lens.

[Cadmium]

There are two rings on those, as with some other older lenses, one should have a click stop (preset ring), the other has no click (diaphragm ring).

 

[Andy Perrin]

Ah, I see - I think my Noflexar does that too, I just wasn't expecting it and I only had a few minutes to look at it earlier.

[Andrea B.]

Congrats, Andy, on scoring a Kuri !!

I managed to get one a couple of months ago, but have not yet played with it. Should be fun.

[Andy Perrin]

Mine's been sitting on the shelf waiting for a 46mm-52mm step-up ring.
