Got this cheap $35 eBay lens to try and do some old tyme photos and movies with the X5S and my Pen-F, maybe in black and white and quality doesn't matter that much. Weighs 128.5 grams with the hood and M43 mount adapter so it should be flyable as the hood is also slotted and vented.
However, it does have an odd issue though and I don't know how the crackerjack "Made in China" assembler could miss it, but they did. Figure out what it is? I was puzzled for a while on it too. The eBay ad is on the left, and one I got is on the camera on the right, but something ain't right.
Give up?
The numbers for the f/stops are upside down on the Pen-F. More odd is f/1.6 is f/16 through the lens, f/2 is really f/11 through the lens, etc. No way can it be installed that way and the engraved numbers are wrong from the factory as is the diaphragm operation being backwards (i.e. Large f/stop is a smaller hole.). Weird how they could even build it that way. Quality control was absent that day.
