Not one of those crazy bargain prices people have posted here, but still quite cheap; Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5 including 1:1 adapter for 80$. Some oil on one of the internal lenses according to the seller, so I will have to take it apart. To me, that's half the fun of buying lenses...

Rare for me to grab a bargain.
However I have found an excellent 50mm f1.4 Auto-Sears (XR-Rikenon) and accompanying 3X teleconverter for $39.99.
Very happy camper.

Sears 1.4 is awesome! I just got one for $32. This style:
I also just picked up a G. Zuiko 1.4 for about the same price. It was described as "the lens has suffered a .75-inch dent in the metal rim around the outside of the lens glass. There is also a .25-inch crack in the lens glass directly under the dent.
I could tell from the photo that this was surely just a filter. After carefully removing the filter the lens is mint. Even the filter threads are unharmed.

Very nice.
My Sears 50/1.4 is in PK mount and is generally accepted as an XR-Rikenon make.
Yours looks to be M42 and from a different stable I would think.
I have often wondered about the M42 Sears lenses, and who was the parent manufacturer.
I will be interested to see the results.
Good find

It's widely accepted that the M42 Sears 1.4 was manufactured by Tomioka. |

Good one.
It will be interesting to see the rendering of your images for that Tomioka quality.
Does the rear glass have a flat surface?

the cam comes with filters and a hood and case. Sellers photo.

Nice score - I really like the generation of tube cameras, that neatly side-step the bellows issue. Got a Paxina 35 a while ago and it's a nice little user.
I had my eye on that and was put off by the high postage, too. That, and being skint by another purchase.
Damned GAS.

Can't get any cheaper than that. Lucky you.
I received a lens recently that had the filter ring dented in the post.
I was able to gently lever it back into shape well enough to accept filters again. I used a narrow shifting spanner with the jaws screwed up tight and took little "bites" each time.

Bargain indeed.
There is a thread here somewhere on modifying a Chinese Canon tripod ring to fit this lens - or a similar Tamron, I've forgotten.
Have fun

When I do that I also put a piece of leather in between not to hurt the threads.

Thanks, I saw that somewhere too. I'll start of with trying to get an original tripod mount. If that doesn't work i'll get into DIY.

I've seen good results from cup-cone wooden formers - and a hammer, of course.

The Hanimex is a one-touch zoom and when extended fully (80mm FL) the focusing is very stiff, so I think there may be some more serious issues with it. Is it worth saving? I have no experience with Hanimex (which I assume is a marketing label for out-sourced lenses).
ps: I forgot to mention there is also a Praktica 2x teleconverter in the bag too.

We went for a walk around the market today and called in at the house clearance stall. I know I said I wasn't going to buy into any new lens mount systems but the guy had a Pentax Z70 AF camera body and I saw a Miranda 70-210 MF lens in K mount so put it on the front of the camera and asked the price (including two photography books) - £10. I am not expecting great things from the lens, but I do still have that 2.8/28 Pentax SMC lens I got for a fiver a while back.
