Fantastic! Thanks Hefty1

I will see if I can find any tech / service data for this lens.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Regards,

Jeremy.

Hi All,

Here are a couple of pictures of this IMAKO lens. I have never heard of this make before, so any info would be most welcome.

I took a few shots with the Spotmatic today. I had all but forgotten how much I enjoyed film and fully manual SLRs

Thanks and regards,

Jeremy.

Many thanks Mowog, Hefty1 and Gartmore.

This lens may indeed be a rebrand. I will post a picture, if only so those who are curious, can see it. It looks pretty similar to the Takumars I have.

I agree that Camera branded lenses are the way to go. The IMAKO lens was included in the bag when I received it. I have just finished cleaning it all up and adjusting it. I think the Spotmatic had not seen a roll of film for some years, so I have just shot my first roll in it. We'll see how it turns out

I will try and get a picture of this lens posted tonight.

Thanks and regards,

Jeremy.

Hi all,

I am new to this forum, having recently acquired a Spotmatic SLR with a modest lens collection. Amongst these lenses is a 28mm f/2.8 prime, which needs a little mechanical attention. Unlike the other lenses, this lens is not a Takumar; It is an IMAKO, bearing the words "W-Auto-C IMAKO" arround the fromt element.

The mechanical poblem is simple enough to fix; the focus ring has become detached, and is loose, but I can't find any info on this lens - anywhere. I have tried various Google searches etc, but so far, nothing.

Does anyone here have any info, preferably technical/service data on this lens. I would greatly appreciate any information about this lens or a similarly constructed IMAKO lens.

Many thanks and regards,

Jeremy.
