I found a picture about Komura 100mm f2 on a Bronica S. Very little info could be found on the Internet. Anyone know about this? Do you know other wired and rare lens?

These two are pretty rare. I have never seen them in person

According to Bronica: The Early History of... Guide by Hilton the 100mm f2 was released in 1964.
That is the only info on this lens in the book.
 
I have a few other Komura lenses for my EC-TL including a teleconverter, but I've never seen that one.

I have the 80mm f/2. Tt's a nice lens but noticably softer then the Zeiss 80 2.8, and ofcourse it's quite chubby (although smaller then the 50/2.8 or 180/2.8), and it's focus ring turn is somewhat too long and annoyingly takes other filters then the 2.8 wide and tele.


It's not really a general purpose lens for those reasons, i only ever pack it when i know i really want to shoot at f/2.

Now, the Zeiss 110mm is honestly what i would really want and would swap the Xenotar for if one were available, the slightly long-normal is perfect for a lot of what i do. I saw one pop up in Ebay USA but at 5000$ it just wasn't a realistic proposition.

...One day :smile:
