Sigma sd14 and m42 lenses

[taku]

Hello,

I'm from Paris, France ; I recently bought a sd14, a m42/SA converter, and a SMC Tak 50 ; I'd like to buy a wide angle lens in a few weeks, and I 'd like to know if the following lenses are compatible :
- S-M-C Tak 24/3.5
- Fujinon 24/2.8
- Mamiya Sekor 21/4
- Yashinon 20/3.3
- Yashinon 24/2.8
Thank you very much

I have never heard about compatibility issues with <30mm lenses. I know a Sigma user, who used Takumar 24mm, so at least this one should be compatible.

hi
i have an sd14 and never had,nor heard of, any problems with any m42 lens.
next, where did you find a yashinon 20mm in m42??!! and if you decide not to get it, would you let me know?

rbelyell: some lenses have problems... e.g. Tessar 40/4.5... also Color-Ultron 50/1.8 can touch the IR filter at infinity... but these are quite rare examples - I'd say 1 model of 50 may have compatibility issues

thanks no-x, i really had never heard of any problems, though the IR filter is right up front! i still wanna know about that yashinon 20mm!

Thanks for your replies ;
in Thousand Oaks (Los Angeles), there's a store called Kevin cameras (www.kevincameras.com), he has a lot of rare and beautiful lenses, but prices are beautiful too !...I use his site just as a "databank"...Have a look...
