with C-MOUNT*

*-please, note, that this set was checked just with K&F C-Mount to MFT adapter and with this particular adapter, this set is working good; i'm not responsible for any other adapter brands, especially unbranded Chinese adapters, do they work correctly with this lens set; this set has slim rear c-mount, as i've cut genuine mounts on the edges, to make them screw deeper in adapter, so they now focus to infinity with K&F adapter, that i add to this set

Set comes with: 7x 49mm front snap-on caps; 7x rear C-Mount metal screw caps; 6x 36mm to 49mm step-up front rings; 7x follow focus aluminium 360 degree rings; 1x K&F C-Mount to MFT adapter

ITEM(s) CONDITION:

OPTICALLY: EXCELLENT / EXCELLENT+
all lenses from this set with NO deep scratches, deep cleaning marks, cracks or any other serious damages on glasses; there are NO fungus, mold, fog, haze, separations or any other serious damages inside optical construction in all lenses from this set; all lenses can have some really MICRO cleaning marks here and there, but never visible by naked eye, usually faint ones, which are normal in vintage lenses; all lenses can have few MICRO marks/spots on glasses coatings, what is normal in vintage lenses, especially Carl Zeiss Jena lenses; lenses have some MICRO pieces of dust inside optical construction, but nothing to worry about; minimal optical issues, that i've found with detailed LED lamp test: 1) 10mm lens has few marks on it's inner metal rings, what is of course not even optical issue, but it is for sure worth to mention; 2) 35mm and 135mm lenses have one micro hair inside, somewhere edge of one of inner glass, what is even hard to notice, it is not optical problem, but for sure it is also worth to mention; 3) 100mm lens has more cleaning marks, probably inside optical construction, maybe on inside side of front glass and few on nside side of rear glass; this is nothing to worry about of course, as they are faint ones, not deep ones; please, note, that LED test is critical test and even new lenses has some issues to pass it; i just want to be 100% honest with Buyer, so i did around 20 min LED test with all lenses from this set, so i've spent around 2-3 minutes per lens to check and describe them really good

MECHANICALLY: EXCELLENT / EXCELLENT+
focus rings in most lenses from this set works smooth, with no issues, as set was serviced in JANUARY 2024; i've checked all lenses with manual and electronic follow focus units and most of them work really good; aperture rings in all lenses works fine, with no serious issues, just with normal factory play, as they were build this way; they all have de-clicked aperture, so aperture work, like in real cine lenses; lenses have M25 screw mount, also known as c-mount, but i've cut them on the edges of their mounts and now they go deeper in narrow adapters, like most MFT adapters and allow to focus to infinity for sure; there's no oil on aperture blades; aperture in all lenses close to the end without any problems; minimal mechanical issues, that i've found during test of all lenses from this set: 1) 16mm lens has minimal backlash (play) on it's front part, probably factory backlash, so nothing can be done with it; 2) 35mm lens works very smooth, but a bit harder, than other lenses from this set; 2) 50mm, 75mm and 100mm lenses has backlash (play) on aperture rings; 50mm backlash is very minimal, but in 70mm and 100mm lenses aperture ring has very perceptible play up/down and left/right; aperture rings still change values, so no problem with it, as this is factory backlash, those lenses were produced this way; 4) 100mm lens do not work very good, as sometimes it focus smooth and sometimes it is working unregular and even can stuck for a moment during focusing; in lens service, they've told me, it has bended one of the poarts and it is not possible to repair it, so i add this lens more as a free gift to this set, because of this issue; 5) ALL lenses have standard 'breathing' when focusing, so they have minimal backlash / play during focusing; this is normal in this type of lenses and i do not even think, it is an issue here, as those lenses works like that and there's nothing you can do about it; they are just not very expensive cinematic lenses, but standard photo lenses, so to have perfect working condition, you need to spend thousands per lens for re-housing, as standard housings are like they are; i just mention about all this, as i want to be 100% honest with buyer; i've did around half an hour hand test and follow focus test to all lenses, so i've noticed even micro issues of every lens from this set

VISUALLY: EXCELLENT- / EXCELLENT
all lenses from this set have LIGHT to NORMAL signs of use on their casings, as can be seen on REAL pictures under this set description; in general, this set is still in excellent visual condition for it's age for sure; there are NO serious damages on lenses casings, but like in old lenses, there can be few of them, like deeper scratch here and there or really micro dents / cracks on casing, but they are minimal, almost not noticeable and there's nothing to worry about, as if they are there, they are just visual issues; lenses scale numbers are still very visible; i recommend to check almost 50 pictures of the set, evaluate them and decide, what you think about this set by yourself
