Special Note: These lenses are sometimes  more than 50 years old, so there might be small specs of dust.  I've spend hours apon hours finding the best copies, paid custom duty when shipped to India.

All these lenses have a beautiful rendering quite different from modern af lenses which are clinical in their looks. Images sooc camera will need minimal processing to get the desired looks (softer skintones, pleasing bokeh and sometimes cinematic look)
