After getting my Sinar F1 with lens, I did some research and found that the "Sinaron-S" 150/5.6 I got with the camera appears to be a rebadged Rodenstock Sironar-N. Anybody know if this is true? Appears to be a very nice piece of glass, and I only paid around $300 for the entire outfit!

Retro Digicam...Digital Holga?
Exemode Yashica will release a low-spec, retro-styled digicam in Japan on October 24th. The EZ F521 will have a 5-megapixel 1/2.5" CMOS sensor, a fixed 42mm-e ƒ/3, and an optical viewfinder. There are only two manually-set positions for focus: Hyperfocal (1.5m–infinity) and Macro (0.2–0.4m [...
