You'll have fun experimenting with this one - it's full of character, and surprisingly sharp with the right settings Pleasure to deal with you again

No doubt it won't be the last time!

As per the title, looking for one of these if someone has one going spare, in good condition, for cheap.

I know I can find them for around the £26 mark posted new, so unfortunately I won't be considering anything over this price.

Thanks in advance!

Fantastic series of snaps. Really enjoyed looking through them!

Two lenses on their way to me... one from this parish, one from an auction site...

How do you control the aperture on a flektogon? I've often been tempted but I only see the traditional m42 pin sticking out the back. There doesn't appear to be an A/M switch and they are not pre-set.

There are various versions of the Flektogon - the later ones do have the A/M switch on, the Zebra 2.8 version has the manual metal protrusion on the side of the lens that allows you to view & compose at full aperture then depress the lens protrusion and press the green button to do your metering and take the shot.

Am I misunderstanding or do you need to hold the protrusion to take the picture stopped down?

Top tip! Buy a cheap M42 to Pk adaptor like this one:

Then unscrew the locking clip off:

Screw it onto the lens then as is. Now you have a quick on and off Pk lens, granted it won't lock into position but the focus isn't that tough so should just stay in position.

Great tip! I'll have to give that a go with one of the M42 adapters I have handy here coupled to my Auto-Takumar 55mm f/2.2. Great little lens that is too!
