Komura camera lenses

[chip j]

Anyone use any of these in SLR or LTM mount? I had a 80-210mm for my Nikon F, and I loved it--brilliance in the B&W negs and prints, pretty sharp, but w/a touch of barrel distortion @ the long end. I think they made a 85mm 1.4 for LTM, plus a 200mm LTM too.

I have a W. Acall Kyoei (=Komura) 35mm 3.5 LTM that is very nice.

Not used them on a 35mm SLR, but around the middle 60's they made a 105mm rangefinder coupled lens for Leica screw bodies and that was really good. I also used them on a Bronica ECTL I had about 20 years ago. They were ok but not up to the same quality Bronica lenses. Optically they were good, but mechanically they were quite crude

I've got a 28mm 2.8 Komura lens in C/Y mount, and it's really good! I've only used it for black and white, but it's plenty contrasty and not too big. Considering its age, I picked it up in great condition so it must be fairly well-made stuff.
