Well you have to meter and use the lenses stopped down to your chosen Fstop (of course you can focus with them wide open), some screw lenses can be awkward to use e.g. the ones that stop down by pushing/holdng down a button.
Paid £4 for my genuine Canon one (well I suppose it could be a Chinese copy stamped Canon..Smile)
