Chinon 55mm f/1.7 Auto

Chinon 55mm 1.7 Auto-1
This little, well-built Chinon 55mm f/1.7 Auto lens is a fantastic lens stopped down a bit. It is a little soft wide open but makes a good low light lens with an adaptable M42 mount.

Helios 58mm f/2 44-2

http://cannonfastreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Helios-44-2-58mm-f-2-0095768-Review-Front-Element-Filter-1.jpg
This unique & sharp Helios 58mm f/2 44-2 lens has a nice and narrow mount with the rear element sticking out. This feature makes the lens great for Lens Whacking or Free Lensing. For normal, still photography this M42 lens does a good job and has the 58mm focal length I prefer over a 50mm. This lens is so well built it feels like you’re holding a hefty machine that will take a beating and keep on working.

Pentax Super Takumar 105mm f/2.8

http://cannonfastreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Pentax-Super-Takumar-105mm-f-2.8-43501-Review-Front-Filter-Ring-1.jpg
This Pentax Super Takumar 105mm f/2.8 is a decent lens stopped down a wee bit and you can’t go wrong with it if you find a good deal. Being a M42 mount you can use this lens on some Digital camera bodies with an Ebay M42 Adapter. Also split focus screens from Ebay make focusing a lot easier!

Chinon 55mm f/1.4 Auto

Chinon 55mm 1.4 Auto-2
This Chinon 55mm f/1.4 Auto is fantastic mechanically and optically. There is not a whole lot of talk about this lens and probably for one reason. The rear element sticks out a fair bit and can hit the mirror on certain cameras if your using it on a DSLR with an adapter. However moving the focus away from infinity makes enough room to shoot or with the mirror up.
