At Mar-2024, I bought one at Hong Kong with HKD $750 (USD ~$96), and it comes with a "M42 to Nikon Z" adapter and even a 49mm thread metal hood. Cool. Now using with K&F Concept "IV PRO" series M42 to Sony E adapter, B+W XS-PRO 49mm filter. Works very excellent with Sony A7 II camera. Thank you for the explantion on the aperture ring mechanism. I understand how to operate this good feature now.
It's absolutely fabulous for BW. I've used it to shoot on Exacta rtl1000 and even on my photoenlarger where it beat by great margin the simple amateur enlarger lens. It actually looked like you've applied sharpen to the images even if they have been shot with a less sharp lenses.
I call the 61L/Z the Christmas lens, because it produces star bokeh. It needs no lens hood or protective filter, because the front element is way back inside the lens body. It's multicoated and is sharp. It also does macro. It is a keeper.
Привет. I recommend paying attention to the helios 44m-6, 44m-7, 77m-4 lenses. But even in Russia, these lenses are not so cheap. 77m-4 is my favorite, managed to get it for only $20 week ago on a local classifieds site
Привет из австралии. Was that Avito? I used to look there sometimes to see what prices were like outside of eBay, and as you said, it wasn't that much cheaper. Definitely interested in picking up a 77M-4 at some stage though, $20 is a great price.
It's my all-time favourite m42 lens.

Cheers so much subscribed 😊❤

This lens is optimised for close focus work, its actually a macro lens.
Exactly right.
