r/VintageLenses

As I was scrolling through Vinted something caught my eye. It was a Nikon D200 with a lens for 100$. I recognized the lens and bought it. I still can't believe that its the real thing...

The glass is in perfect condition and the outer appearence is not perfect but acceptable in my opinion.

The thing is that the previous owner engraved his name and some numbers on the part that extends out of the lens and the focus ring is really stiff. (Im getting it CLA'd so that will be resolved).

Do you have any ideas if it is possible to remove or make the engravings less visible? If I were to keep this lens I wouldn't bother with the process of removing them but I am going to sell it and want to get it to the best shape it can get.

Thanks.

Dog park, first snowflakes

Just wanted to use the lens on my digital camera for a change for a quick photo. I normally use it on film. It's amazing.
This is at f/2.

My roommate came across these lens. They appear to be older film projector lens of some sort? Just trying to narrow down the age and application for them. I hope these type of post is allowed, wasn’t sure which community would have a clue about this stuff.

Hi, can anyone help identify this lens and what mount it uses?

Bought as part of a bundle, it's 135mm f/2.8 with a smooth action aperture ring (not clicky)

Thanks
