I recently acquired the Eyemik Ultra Multi-Coated Zoom 40-85mm f/3.5 and wanted to test its performance. I wasn't expecting miracles, but was curious by nature.
The lens is heavy and gives a solid feeling. It's an all-metal lens "from those times" and reaches the 40-85mm zoom area. I used this M42-threaded lens on a Pentax K100D, which has a 1.5x crop factor (thus FOV ~60-130mm). Max. aperture is 3.5 and smallest is 16 (aperture settings on lens: f/3.5, f/5.6, f/8, f/11 and f/16). It allows focus from 1.5 m to infinity. Further, filter thread is 67mm.
Here are two pictures of the lens:
All photographs have been made handheld. Some sample shots (no digital manipulation other than resizing/jpeg saving):
@40mm f/3.5, ISO200, 1/2000 sec
@40mm f/8, ISO200, 1/320 sec
@40mm f/16, ISO200, 1/50 sec
100% crop from previous photograph
@85mm f/8, ISO200, 1/50 sec
100% crop from previous photograph
@85mm, f/11, ISO200, 1/40 sec
100% crop from previous photograph
@85mm, f/3.5, ISO200, 1/200 sec
100% crop from previous image
@85mm, f/3.5, ISO200, 1/800 sec

Thanks fotomachi - it is extremely valuable for us all to know which lenses to avoid. Can I suggest in this range that you look for a kiron 28-85 or 28-105. They are excellent mechanically and optically.
