Hello guys,
may I ask you about some photos taken with a Travenar 90mm (M42)?
I have an opportunity to buy a Travenar 90mm and a Travenar 50mm
along with an Edixa, prism-finder, some filters etc.
for 80� (all working in a nice condition) Is this an acceptable price?

Please, I need opinions, since I have to decide quickly.

Regards
Hasan

I didn't have it. I read somewhere this lenses are maximum average, seek google perhaps you will find more information.

Thank you Atilla. I already googled for it, but found only few info about it.

I found a site with a lot examples, but only on film.
Not sure, how good it performs on DSLR though. Confused

The photos are mainly on page 1 and 2.

On film and on DSLR perform same this is not a wide angle lens. So if you like it take it and share with us your experience.
