Does anyone have experience with the Access SQ 500mm f/8 M42 telephoto lens or information about its optical and mechanical quality? The lens has an all metal construction with a long hood and is labeled as made in Japan. |

Personally I prefer, and recommend, the better 400mm f6.3's.

Could this be really Japanese and not Chinese made? It could be 10 years old or maybe more. |

SQ sounds like Sigma ,there is some engram in my mind about SQ lenses maybe double focusing system or something. Wundertüte generally didnt have that
It is very vague and I have never owned such a lens, just trying to help.
Wundertüte is generally regarded as not spectacular but nice for almost no money (I suppose this depends on whether you pay $10 or $110) |

I just did a quick google and it pulled up a listing just ended (the seller, cambrianphoto, is my local shop actually). This lens is just a standard 4 element cheap generic 500mm f8. Looks identical to one branded praetor I had. And as soon as the word "haze" is mentioned in respect of these it's time to walk away, - I estimate more than half of these have hazed rear elements see here.

According to the owner the lens could be 25 years old so I very much doubt that it is not Japanese. Now about the rear lens element haze problem I could check it before buying it. However the asking price seemed a little too high and I am not sure how much would be a fair price to offer. |

I wouldn't pay more than ~ £30/40euro/$50 for one of these generic 500mm.
I repeat the tokina made soligor/vivitar 400mm f6.3's are much better, and the examples of the classic tokyo koki 400mm f6.3's I have had pass through my hands have also more often than not been good and sharp.
