This one's a mouthful! Laughing

I'd seriously recommend this lens to anyone on a budget! It's really good!

Nice shots.

Yeah, agreed, nice shots. How much can these be picked up for and are they M42?

Most of the time, they are under-rated and bought only for the adaptall mount they come with (well, that's what I did Embarassed )

A quick search on Ebay UK gives about 10 lenses, some beginning at 0,99 £ and very few bids ...

The M42 adaptall will be a little more difficult to find and more expensive, I'm afraid.

Ditto on the recommendation, this lens is a must-have because of its quality, versatility and low price. There is no reason not to have one.

You generally don't need these Adaptalls to be in M42.

There are cheap third-party Adaptall mounts on ebay for most modern DSLR's. These do not have all the auto linkages of course.

The original Adaptall mounts with the linkages can get pricy.

Most expensive probably are the Pentax PK/A (support for Auto exposure modes) and Canon EOS. I think these mounts alone go for over $100 regularly.

Cheaper are plain PK and Nikon AI.
