I've got a little collection of M42 Mount cameras on the go and I'd like to try out as many lenses as I can without breaking the bank

If you've got any third party ones lying around in the 35 to 85mm range that you've been meaning to shift but haven't got round to it because they're not worth much, let's talk!

Cheers

There are hundreds of them on Ebay.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

I've built up a collection of nearly 20 M42 lenses. Only 1 of them has been over £10, so postage is usually a significant factor.
I think all my purchases have been made locally or been as part of a bundle (essentially free with something else I was getting).
But a quick look at e-bay as @davidwozhere suggested shows there are still hundreds if you select free postage only...

Currently (BIN) include a £13 (with postage) industar-50-2 pancake lens which IMO can be quite good.

I have no connection with the seller & have no way of telling the lens's condition beyond the listing.
I got mine bundled with a camera

Thanks for the tip on that pancake

I'm scouring ebay too of course, but just thought I'd see if anybody was looking to offload anybody but couldn't be bothered to get it done!
