Never buy M42 lenses Low contrasts no vivid color,no AF Only

Are there exceptions for the /p/oor anon? I have a 28mm and 50mm on an e mount adaptor and they work ok under the right settings

Looks like someone's disappointed with their banged up bargain bin Tamron not being up to par with that stock photo quality they saw on the internets and needs to blame something for their ineptitude!

If you already own and use them do you seriously need external validation from a random post online to keep doing so?

Being the poorfag I am and also owning a dead system (Samsung NX30) with no outstanding lenses, I'm using a Yashica ML 50/1.4 C/Y and quite satisfied with the results.

I also had Super Takumar (55 1.8 the older one) and other M42s, and for their price they did pretty well. The lack of AF is a matter of getting used to, of course it is a dealbraker in some situations where you need a lightning fast AF.

M42 lenses are perfect for M42 camera systems.

Seriously though, it's much easier to change a screw mount much than these align the red dot and push the button lock mounts.

It's the only mount that allows Anon to eat a sandwich whilst changing the lens.

Kinda rhetorical question dude. OPs just a bit judgemental.

>>2755740
low quality bait

gotta work on your poetry, but it's getting there.

I on the other hand couldn't care less about AF and love some of my M42/K mount lenses

ok,guys
i understood M42 for M42 cameras like pentax sp is ok

but,for the sake of cheap for DSLR is never forgiveable things a lot

>not wanting glorious radioactive glass on your camera

>>2756754
I think the bigger issue here is if you can afford a full frame sensor DSLR you can afford modern optics (for the most part at least) - unless you're a fan of shitty tele crap factor x1.6 bullshit.
