The ten quid lens thread.
The other good one was a Pentax-A 135 f2.8. I was in a charity shop and someone else spotted this lens and was going to buy it but he noticed that the aperture blades were floating around inside. The lady in the shop said she would throw it out, did I want it for £1. I decided it was worth that for the caps and took it home.
Some time later I got around to taking it apart. Several hours later I had it back together and the aperture working fine. It would even focus correctly!
If anyone wants a Zenit E for the postage just let me know, there are several to chose from!
It's a great portrait lens that 50mm 1.7, really enjoying it. Manual focus makes you really get the shots right before taking them. I've found that if the composition isn't any good then I'm unable to bother to focus and move on instead of filling up my SD card with rubbish.
That said, I really need to get better at quick focusing.
Cheers for the welcome btw!
