Someone mentioned that there was one KM16mm FE at TCW selling at $600+, not sure still there or not.

A M42 Zenitar 16mm Fisheye is only less then S$250.00. It is a very good lens I have it myself.

blurblock need your advise. The guying selling the item says it's a M42 but the box says M46Which is correct? The picture of the item is below:

The user ruscamera seems to have a good record. Any idea?

Ruscamera is ok. I think I have bought from him before.

M46 refers to the filter size in this instance ... you will need size 46 filters. This lens is reputed to be sharp ,but the build quality is rather light. I have one too.

Here's a forum that discuses M42 lenses and cameras, esp. for the purposes of adapting.

you're welcome.

I used to collect M42 lenses. At its peak, I had about 100 different M42 lenses
But that's all history now.

I myself just won a Pentax S-M-C Takumar 85/1.8, it's on the way to me now. Hopefully I'd get it this week Got an original Pentax M42 to K adaptor too (for S$10 only), I'd give it a try on my Pentax dSLR. Hopefully it'll be worth the cost (a lot for a used lens ).

BTW, the shop (Fotografix) at Lucky Chinatown has some M42 lenses. You guys might stop by and give it a try

Cheers,

Possible to post some photos here with these lens..

Should try eBay, they are so much cheaper. M42 to KM will cost $30.00 to $50.00. They use to cost only $20.00 when I start playing with CZJ. You should check out CZJ 35mm F2.4 or the CZJ 80mm F1.8 cheap and good lenes.

Hi, I searched at ebay and someone in HK is selling this M42 to Minolta adapter for less than US$10.. are they different quality? Want to do a MO?

 

[Eyesthruthelens]

Hi, A stupid question.. are all lens with indication that support M42 mounting can work on the KM5D if I purchase the M42 to Minolta mount adapter?
