Vintage lenses from the former communist countries are cheapy available and they have loads of vintage character, so they're great for mirrorless photographers looking for a first vintage lens.

In this comprehensive list I review 16 lenses from my collection. Most are based on Zeiss designs from the 1930s so they're genuinely beautiful optics, and with prices starting at around £10 they're very affordable too.

This video reviews lenses of 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 135mm focal lengths, so there's something here for everyone!

If you're looking for a vintage lens with some real vintage flavour and character, check out the video and look no further!
