So,yes,tomorrow i`ll prolly visit belgrades photo stock market,which is held once in 3 months.
Could u guys recommend some nice m42 or K,KA mount lenses for me to search for?
Im interested in macro lenses (which i intend to buy tomorrow) and maybe some good takumars which wouldnt be trouble to find here.
Go ahead,shoot,just nothing too exotic please,id be lucky to even find some cheap K mount glass,so,anything with m42 mount would be great.

Thanks guys,hope im not buggin u too much but i know some good people here can recommend something tasty from their impressive collections.

Take care Smile

Same as Attila regarding Carl Zeiss Jena and Meyer glass.

The CZJ Flektogon 2.4/35 and 2.8/35 can both do close-focus.

A couple of additions to Attila's Orestor/Pentacon 100 suggestion could be the Lydith/Pentacon 3.5/30 and/or the Orestegor/Pentacon 2.8/29 as well.

Not close-focus but nice wides all the same.

Try to find a Volna-9 2.8/50!

Volna-9 (average used value from 50 to 70 Euros on Ebay) or Industar-61 (average used value from 30 to 40 Euros) are excellent macro choices.

If close up is enough (not real macro) then also several wide angles can do excellent closeup. Today I tried a bit the MC Macro Revuenon 2.8/28, which is quite good, I paid 14.something Euros for it. Later I will post something.

Agreed. My "Petri 2.8/28 Macro" is not bad either... Wink
