It was a hot hot day over here in sunny Singapore. My friend and I went to this junkyard fleamarket. Basically, they sells stuff ranging from handphones to dirty pots and pans. We managed to find a few lens like OM mount lenses, Soligor, Sigma, Yashica etc.

Here are those I bought.

Asahi Pentax K1000 with SMC 50mm f2. I found it on top of pile of 35mm compact film camera. Shutter seems working but mirror is stucked. Lens appears dirty , seem infected with fungus.



Yashica ML 50mm f2. It is infested with fungus. I was only able to clean the rear piece of glass and front most. I am unable to open it up. Screws and retaining rings is very very stiff and I even had 2 screwdrivers' blade twisted. Shocked



Nihon Super Wide Macro 0.42X. It is also infested with fungus. I manage to clean it. Screw thread quite small, I think should be 46 as I could not mount on any of my lenses yet. I hand held it with my lens set at infinity and do a tilt-shift. Very funny results I got. Laughing

Yeah !

Oh by the way, is there a way to open the Yashica lens ? Front got some dent and there is no cutting on the retainer ring for my caliper to open it. Thanks

MFLenses sell the tool to open that kind of ring. If you're in a hurry, go to your DIY center and buy an universal sink plug :
