Do any of our esteemed members have some images or feedback to share ?
My 55mm Micro Nikkor is a superb performer but with adapter it's not very small or light. For travel purposes and affordability I'm drawn to the small form-factor and comparatively modest price of the Heliar 3.5 as a light and tiny screw-mount lens. I confess: I've been spoiled by the 75mm Color-Heliar in screw-mount: very small, light and sharp - and not too pricey used.
I don't need a lens which opens wide or has autofocus or stabilization. I'm know that the aperture dial rotates and has no click stops.
Many thanks !
