Hi,

Yesterday i bought a box cheap with some lenses an camera's .

pentacon 200mm f=4 gdr ( zebra stripes )( i'm a sucker fot zebra lenses)( why i bought the box).

fujica st 705 with fujinon.z 1:3.5-4.5 f=43-75 (m42) (oil on blades).
Auto mamiya/sekor 55mm 1:1.8 (m42)
Komura telemore 95 (m42)

nikon EM with osawa mark 2 mc 1: 3.5-4.5 35-70 mm (oil on blades).
nikon lens series E 28mm 2.8 (clean)

So, now i repaired the pentacon (the aperture blades where loose in the lens (putting them back with a tweezer cause previous owner damaged a screw).

is there any other things from this box worth repairing ?/ testing ?
or are they not worth the trouble ?.

Karel

Fujica ST 705 great camera, I expect good results from lens too.

Auto mamiya/sekor 55mm 1:1.8 (m42)

All 50-55mm lenses are good, surely a well known brand can be even better

Usually M42 TC are not the best ones, pretty avarage I think.

Nikon made perhaps best camera bodies, definetly worth to rescue it.

I not expect much from an inexpensive third party zoom. Quiet possible waste time to repair it.

E series lenses are good even if they are inexpensive budget lenses.
