hi, i recently wanted to buy some prime lenses for my s5pro. when i did a search and noticed that russian m42 mount lenses are quite popular... may i know what to look out for older lenses? how to choose a nice lense and stuff? i actually am quite new to photography so every bit of information is useful to me. thanks guys! Very Happy

You might try this - I have the N20/2.8 version and leave it mounted on my S2 PRO - plus it is a direct mount - has Nikon F mount. This one is not a wide- but Russian and new.

At times a seller on eBay from Georgia, USA sells the N20/2.8 at $105 new.

Hi,

Isn't this FUJI S5 PRO is F-mount camera?

If so you cannot achieve infinity focus with M42 mount lenses,
unless you use M42->F mount adapter with a correction lens.
If you are only interesting in macro photography, it is OK with
lens less M42->F mount adapter.

If you do not care IQ too much (which is unlikely you own S5 PRO),
it is OK too. Confused

Buy Nikon MF lenses or Russian ones with Nikon mount.
