M42 Lenses
Part of the kit I found at a photographers sale. Scored the total kit for $140.00, see next photo.
Some things I learned while purchasing this kit...
These are M42 screw mount lenses. I currently also shoot with a Canon 7 and a Bessa-R which are also screw mount, however, they are Leica L39 screw mount cameras. Look the same, but slightly different sizes. Bummer. There is indeed an M42 to L39 adapter for $40 or so, but you lose out. You are going from SLR to Rangefinder, so to focus you will have to use "zone focusing" which I am not going to explain how to do here. Just know that you cannot see the photo focusing through the viewfinder, it's all estimation. Which is fine really, it just takes practice.
