Spiratone 400/6.3 Mint/OM mount (odd lens, this is)
*Spiratone 60mm Close Focusing Tube for the 400 NIB
Only one asterisk? You should really keep these together.
I had one of these, but gave it to my dad when I got a "real" 300mm.
It's low in both sharpness and contrast, but not bad for the price.
It originally sold (Cambridge Camera Exchange) for about $99 in the
late 70's -- complete with the T-mount 60mm extension tube. It still
fetches that in some used shops if in excellent condition.
What you're missing is an eyepiece adaptor that sold for only about
$20 when purchased with the lens. It screws on in place of the
T-mount to make a fuzzy, low-contrast telescope.
My advice: give it to a student or sell it at a low price to an
impoverished photo enthusiast. It's literally nothing compared to the
Zuiko, but lots of fun if you have nothing better. It works great for
high-contrast subjects, like the full moon.
