M42 Pentacon 30mm f3.5 10 Blade Diaphragm made in Germany **Good Condition**

M42 Pentacon 30mm f3.5 10 Blade Diaphragm made in Germany **Good Condition**

A rare example of the early 10 blade diaphragm preset diaphragm lens.

A wide angle lens from a high quality german manufacturer is great for shooting interiors in tight conditions, creative exaggerated perspective shots and where a long depth of focus is an advantage.  With a 10 blade diaphragm offering advanced Bokeh differential focus shots especially against the light.

The M42 screw mount, used by many earlier cameras including Zenith, Pentax, Praktica and more, is also compatible with virtually any camera through simple and easily available adapters

This lens is in great condition with clear markings, smooth focus operation and clear glass*, no fungus.

The base had a small sliver removed from it as you can see in the last picture at the top.

This was so it didnt interfere with the motor drive on the camera I was using.

It does not affect the lens in any way, this is a very nice wide angle lens to use

with a very interesting Bokeh which is very sought after

Please note I mainly specialize in cameras and lenses, I also do conversions on lens mounts

and conversions from fixed lens rangefinder cameras to mirrorless camera bodies,
