S-M-C takumars 28 3.5 and 135 3.5
Porst color auto reflex 50 1.7 couldnt find any info on it but it seems rather nice...
Helios 44m
Aus jenna 50 2.8 (not even worth mentioning I guess Smile
Porst 2x tele converter
Pentax extension rings
ad some other small stuff...

All under $150! Smile

Some test shots from today, all wide open.

Takumar 135 3.5. Sharper than what I thought and read it would be.





Takumar 28 3.5 Havent really had a chance to take some decent shots, but it is really very sharp like everyone said...Great colors and contrast too!





And finaly porst 50 1.7. Seems really sharp as well, and has unique bokeh.

+1 ... I've already played with the Taks 135 and 28, but your Porst looks really well ... Time to check with my preferred seller Wink ...

Thanks for the kind words everyone, Im having a blast with manual lenses Smile. I started collecting them a month a go and already I have quite a few of them.



I did a quick sharpness test wide open, between porst and canon AF 50 1.8 II. Photos converted and exported as jpg from lightroom with default values,no pp, resized for web:


Results:

Canon @ 1.8:



crop:





Porst @ 1.7




crop



From what I see Porst has better sharpness and contrast at slightly wider aperture... Definitely a keeper Smile
