: Petval type lens for P6 and V-mount?
: Ezzie December 16, 2013, 09:41:26 AM
This Kickstarter looks interesting. It may need a bit of help to reach it's funding goal. A Petval type lens in a modern housing, with regular aperture and focusing controls. Pentacon 6 and Hasselblad V-mount options available.

Might be tempted, I have been mulling over getting a P6 for some time.

Mmmm just might be the lens I'm looking to go with my recently purchased Pentacon 6. Thanks for posting Eirik

Your welcome Paul. This lens makes more sense to me than the Lomo Kickstarted lens for 135. The trademark swirly off centre, out of focus rendering seems to be more prominent on 120 than on 135. And the lens can easily be adapted to just about any 135 SLR system. Indeed, I already have a P6 to Nikon-F adapter, now that i think of it.

Sorry, didn't see this before now. I will consider it Terry, thanks.

However the Kickstarter looks like it hasn't got enough wind in it's sails. Only 8 days to go and still just under half funded.

I actually ordered 2, one P6 and one Hassy mount. One is for a friend though. The project reached it's funding goal, so now I really need to look for a P6, in readiness for May delivery.
