I love this lens but I only use it occasionally. It doesn't focus to infinity on my Nikon DSLR. It's great for flowers and other close ups though. There was a short break in the rain so I ran out and fired off some shots.

Here's the lens. Best 500 yen (5 euro) I've ever spent

Very nice, I particularly like #3. _________________ 'The question I would really consider (especially if an amateur and on a budget) is whether or not anyone (including yourself, of course) can tell the difference in any situation for which you will use the lens...and if they can, why are they burying their noses in your prints hard enough to tell the difference instead of responding to the prints emotionally and thinking about what they might mean?' - 2F/2F on apug.org

Do you use it with T2-Nikon adapter or you have T2-M42-Nikon combination? First one should give you infinity.
Great samples! I like this lens a lot too. _________________ P a n c o l a r t . P h o t o . G a l l e r y http://juredolzan.deviantart.com

I use it with a cheap (10 euro) metal adapter so I don't get infinity. I heard that the glass in the adapters can degrade image quality. Is this true? |

The Komura lenses came in different mounts, which are removable. I have purchased Komura lenses and then looked for the proper mounts separately. _________________ Regards,
