I didn't have the time yet to fix my Meyer optik gorlitz orestor 100mm 2.8, neither my topcor 35mm...

But I came to the conclusion that the issue is not my mount adaptor, because I CAN focus to "infinity" with my steinheil culminar 85mm 2.8... so my lenses are bad, and I'm gonna fix them, I already got a contact of a good repair guy here in my city

So I want recommendations on good 35, 85 or 135mm lenses for the EXAKTA mount! I really like the culminar, but I want to try another lens, just for fun 😊

I am mostly aiming for portraits

I use a fuji xt20, and I have this adapter, exakta to fuji x, from k&f

The adapter is firm, doesn't have any play and is pretty well made!

But I can't get infinite focus with any of my lenses 😅

I have these:

steinheil culminar 85mm 2.8

Meyer optik gorlitz orestor 100mm F2.8

Topcor 35mm f2.8

They are all In great condition and with no fungus or haze!

Do you guys have maybe another adaptor to recommend, so I can achieve Infinity focus with those?

Apart from the digitals on the front UV filter I don't see anything wrong with it, idk why it has all that glow fully open 😆... Gonna need some expertise on the matter

Mine is a exakta mount, idk the year exactly...

I bought it from a good reputation seller here in Brazil, he has a store where he sells only vintage lenses and such, according to his description the lens is in perfect condition, and I can see it when I pick it up 😅, but I still get those glowy photos wide open, and I didn't find any photos like mines when searching for photos with the same lens 😅...

Here are some examples, do you guys have any clue?

I'm using a k&f exakta to fuji X adapter!

Estou usando com uma fuji xt20!

Ela tem um glow/bloom muito Maluco em 2.8, mas isso some praticamente em f4, não sei exatamente porque, preciso testar mais!

Estou esperando um dia de sol pra testar na rua com uns retratos!

Mas gostei demais do tamanho da lente, e da usabilidade dela, não tive foco infinito infelizmente, com o adaptador que estou usando ( k&f concept exakta pra fuji X), mas mesmo assim, tem uma zona de foco bem legal!

Tirar fotos totalmente no manual é uma experiência muito boa, essa lente tem uma qualidade absurda, não tem quase nada de aberração cromática, ela não é extremamente sharp, mas é justamente isso que faz eu gostar dela!
