I've recently aquired some old manual lenses to play with. The build and optical quality is suberb and I love the smaller size.
The lenses I have so far are:
Super Tukumar 50 1.4 - cost £42
Super Takumar 135 3.5 - cost £18
Pentacon 100 2.8 - cost nothing as its technically my dads
They are all M42 mounts and ive used them on my 40D with an adapter
Some samples
Takumar 50mm

Takumar 135mm

Pentacon 100mm
7)
The 50mm is a bit soft wide open but very sharp when stopped down. The 135 seems very sharp even wide open. The 100mm is again sharp even wide open but lacks contrast.
Happy to answer any queries or comments folks have
