Manufacturer description

Fine quality long focus lens for portraits and medium distance shots, at a moderate price. Helical focusing mount. Threaded for use with 'kil' or 'tul' adapters, or reflex housings. Supplied complete with deep, screw-in lens shade, front and rear lens caps.

From the editor

For a list of interchangeable adapters (codewords "kil-" and "tul-"), please refer to the page dedicated to the Kilar 150/3.5 lens.

"tul-" adapters reduced the closest focusing distance down to 24 1/2 in. (=0.62m) for a reproduction ratio of 1:2.6.
