Here is some of my sample photos.
For 35$ it is quite good!
Using olympus e-500.

Little corrections in lightroom.

I had one in Canon FD mount (which I don't use) that I sold near the beginning of my lens-trading a few months ago. I paid US$9 for it but only sold it for US$7.70 -- that's a 14% loss!! [/me gnashes teeth.] I suppose it is worth a bit more now, eh? I had no idea of its sharpness. The buyer did not complain so I suppose it was satisfactory.

One question.


I can move f-stop ring, but diaphragm doesnt move. Is it possible that previous owner remove diaphragm? Or it's just not connected something inside?

Thanks!

which mount is it?

there can be different reasons why diaphragm doesn't move...maybe it's fully automatic diaphragm and your adapter doesn't make it manual ( for example m42 lenses that don't have a/m switch, that are fully automatic, they stay wide open if your adapter doesn't depress an aperture pin on the lens)
other reason might be that the lens is broken
