Hi guys,
a shop nearby has the sigma 18mm f2.8 m42 lens in its lineup for 99€ in very good condition! As christmas comes, I think about buying this next year to add some wieangle to my M42 setup (currently 55 1.8 and 135 1. .
I can't find much on the Sigma, and all the photos taken with it seem to be long gone!
So, does somebody has this lens? Or does somebody had this lens and has some pictures left?
Any advice would be wellcome! Is the price ok?
ciao,
Karhallarn

I would also be interested in such a wide angle M42 lens and curious about the answers, hopefully sample shots.

99 Euros is a reasonable price for sure for this lens. It's reported to be ok but not brilliant.
For wide angle I would go for 24mm Ensinor which I recently found out is the same as the 24mm Clubman. Both are sold cheaply, but the Clubman is easier to find and cheaper.

@martin: 24 would be nice on a full frame body but my Samsung GX20 is only APS-C, so the 18mm would be a lot nicer!

@wolfgang: Yes that was it!
Let me see what I missed!
I bought a Vivitar 28mm f2.5 and a Soligor 55mm f2.8 Macro in Bonn, so I wouldn't have bought it now anyway!
Frohes Neues und Hummel Hummel Moors Moors!

@Attila: Thanks for your welcome!
@Karhallarn: The first impressions aren't that great - it seems to be quite soft, and the mechanics (of course) don't match those of my Super Tak and Tomioka-Revuenon. I hope to upload some pictures later this week.
How does your Vivitar perform? I'm thinking of getting one myself to fill the gap between 18mm and 55mm... |

The Vivitar is a great little toy! I had it for my Nikon about half a year ago and sold it because it was nonAi and I wasn't able to stop down!
It's quiet sharp wide open and get's really nice from f4 down! The mechanics are nothing short of the Series 1 lenses! Ir's absolutely great!
This was done at f4
