My foray into MF lenses began today with this beauty in M42 mount converted to EF and used on a 7D. I believe it's a Tokina lens, and my version is in the original case with the 1:1 adapter. These are just a few test shots I could take in my room....sorry they're not too interesting subject wise 
1. Small crop, curve adjustments and a little sharpening
2. Small crop, curve adjustments and a little sharpening
These 2 are with a 36mm extension tube fitted (just to see what it was like  )
3 - 100% crop - no editing at all
4 - Bubble Wrap
Rather pleased with this one

That's one of the best macro lens you have there. Conglats! Great start into MF lenses. You are lucky to have such a superb starter lens. |

That is one very nice lens indeed. You got some very nice shots out of it.
I was looking for a deal on this lens and it never came so I got the Rikenon 90mm Macro (still a nice lens ;D)
I'm looking forward for more sample

Well the subject may be of interest to most people on this forum.. if only that you need more of it to buy more manual focus lenses. I assume you used an m42 to Canon EF adapter to mount this lens? The term converted suggests a modification of the lens itself, rather than use of an adapter.
I've also got this lens and I like it a lot. Your collection of manual focus lenses consists of nothing but top performers. |

Have you used it for general photography? That is, non-macro? I'd like to see some of those too. You're fortunate to have the M42 version; mine is Minolta mount, so I'll have to wait until I get a NEX to use for other than close-up.
