Thanks everybody ! Great infos !

Hi Steve. No. I mean Fuji 4/3. But I found out it is the same mount (4/3 Oly, Pana) Thanks. But Sony ?

Seems Fuji is the same too ?

Please, could someone tell me which makes share the same mount (and are compatible) I know about Olympus and panasonic. What about Sony and Fuji ? Thanks again !

Thanks a lot guys. I think I got the main answers.

Hi Karim. Thanks a lot. I ll have a look at the Sony A7. Do you know which brand shares the same mount with which please ? I already have a canon DSLR for my olympus, contax and pentax lenses. I believe the MDs, CFD and Konicas can only be adapted to mirrorless, but it looks complicated to me. This is why I ask for a mirrorless body for them. Thanks again. Happy shooting.

Hi Rodeo. No. I was shining through with a torch which makes things look much worse.. In fact it's all black inside. Yes it's a cheap lens for most, but this is relative. Depends a lot on your income. We're african country here ! I'm even amazed sometimes at some shipping costs. Hi John. I could try amonia. Never been shopping for that but I can try. Thank you !

Hi everybody. It's all in the title. While we find dozens of threads about which vintage lens is good to be used on Dig bodies, I 'm asking the knowledgeable which bargain (even "old" ) secondhand body would you suggest to use my great MF lenses. Most important to me is focus peaking. I mean to use Minoltas MD and Hexanons, so no DSLR, but mirrorless (I think ?) Thanks a lot for your thoughts.

Ok. Will try that one, too. Thanks.

And it doesn't seem to be coated at all. Can someone confirm ? It's the old multi-branded 600 f8 which comes in 2 pieces which you screw together.

Thanks so much everybody. Well I didn't mean doublet as in 2 cemented elements. They are actually 2 distinct elements and I took them out and could clean each easily. The first (front) element is by far the worst. The other one is not really bad. I learned a lot with everyone's input and I'm ready to dismantle the lens again. I couldn't test the lens yet. The rear elements also need attention and I should clean them first. Thanks again everyone. Good shooting !

I've been trying to clean the elements of a 70s vivitar 600 using fibre cloth with hydrogen peroxyd and then wet glass tissues for the finish, but most of whatever was there is still there. It is no fungus or dust or cleaning marks. What is it ? And how can I get rid of it ? I ve been quite forcefull while cleaning, seeing that not much improved... I had the doublet out and tried my best on both elements. Thanks for your opinions. The pics are cellphone but they show enough.

Hi Chuster. This is exactly why I decided to post something on this lens. There is a text too. Somehow it didn't show here. You can find it in the classic manual. Sorry again.

Yes. Sorry everyone. This is misplaced. I couldn't understand why it didn't show in the classic manual forum. Can admin please delete ? Thank you.

Hi Rick. Thank you for the kind comment.
