Wollensak Cine Velostigmat 25mm 1.9 - not too bad for a tiny lens from the 30s.

Yashica Auto Yashinon-DX 35mm 2.8 - Bokeh is very painterly - I suspect it is a Tomioka lens based on construction (6 elements, 4 groups) - this was after Yashica bought Tomioka - and the build matches the famous 55mm 1.4 and 50 F2 construction. Hope to try it at some point with better light to check the flare which will likely be a good indication. Either way, I am a fan of the handling of this simple lens.

While rummaging around at the very back of the camera cupboard, I opened up a mystery container and found what was one of my earliest 2nd hand purchases.
I still remember being very clueless and wandering into a camera shop in Long Street and they had two of these on the shelf and I bought one ... Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8D
I seem to think I would have had it for at least 30 years? Can't find any info on when it was first launched; there are many updated versions of this around
I put it on the ikon Z fc with an F-mount adaptor and in fading crepuscular light, took some snaps of building work being carried out on our balcony

All the best with your building works, Irene.
Having just finished about $100K worth of maintenance etc after 3 years, we understand the sometimes extremely frustrating nature that these works can be.

That old lens looks to be a real beauty, mate. Sharp and good from centre to corners.

I know the model and the colour of the car are completely different but for some reason Starsky and Hutch comes to mind (the TV servies not the movie)?

Same era, same manufacturer and iirc (but I am not really a Ford expert) - the LTD II coupe (what the blue car is, I believe) was just a repurposed Gran Torino (S & H car) - so you might be closer than you think.

An F to M mount adapter and the EVF add on makes for some fun.

Nikkor NC Auto 35 1.4 @f22 on A7ii. I tried to take the thorium yellow/brown tinge out of the image.

Helios 135mm f/2.8 on m42 mount, on an OM-D EM10ii
I think the funny looking swirly diagonal bokeh thing going on with the cheetah shot is because it was shot through a chain link fence
