I didn't buy what I had hoped, and now I have this lens.
I have no idea about the mount - has anyone ever seen this?

That's cool to hear. I already tested 2.8/28mm, 2.4/35mm, 1.8/50mm, 2.8/135mm on my Pentax K10D and results are superb. The glass handles strong sun light with ease.

I don't believe Pentacon ever made this lens in M42 mount. Are you thinking about the M42 29/2.8? Different lens. |

Pretty good idea i must say! I've done it to Pentax PK, but this is even more compatible.

The M42 Pentacon 29/2.8 was rebranded to Carl Zeiss Jena 29/2.8 for a short period, but I'm not aware of an M42 version of the 28/2.8 - although this seems to insinuate that the it's a slightly modified version of the same thing

See the enlarged version of this one:

You can still see the red dot on the lens barrel for lining up with the red dot on the camera for bayonet fitting. |

Hi Nelson. It is said Prakticar glass is improved compared to older Pentacons (though cheaper materials are used for lens chassis) and quality also does not varies so much.
Different PB / EOS adapters exist that enable infinity for a while now. I managed to make Pentax PK conversion (with infinity on these primes 2.8/28mm, 1.8/50mm, 2.8/135mm).
