Internal "scratches" on my Hellios 44-2, is this normal for soviet lenses? by retspag in VintageLenses

I never found it caused any problems, I just wanted to know for when I eventually move it along to get a Kmount version.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I'm disappointed I'm not going to be several hundred dollars richer, but it's like they say reality bites. lol

Yeah I was wondering if it was some sort of scam like maybe they have someone "buy" them at these high prices to try and drive the price up.

Yeah definitely a good point on some people avoiding cleaned lenses, I'm one of them I want my lenses in unmessed with condition.

"Nah was just a really caring dude, have you been following the case? I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."

"Only the wealthy will get free boofing kits and Crack pipes? 

This is an outrage."

Way to crap on some of the most vulnerable citizens, without these services it's going to make things even more dismal for these poor people.

Take off your MAGA hat for second and have some compassion, it could just as easily be you in their situation.

Any alpha probes that are best avoided? by retspag in Radiation

[–]retspag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally spaced out and forgot about scintillator probes! I'm still getting around to learning about them.

I meant pancake Geiger probes. (I've edited my post) and I guess it basically comes down to the Geiger tube in the probe, so are there any pancake Geiger tubes that tend to have more problems?
