Hi,
As a noob photographer and a cheapskate, i have been looking for m42 lenses. I have already 3 of them in my gear but im always up for more.
*With my 350D i have:
-Auto-Beroflex 28mm f2.8 (i use this mainly because with 1.6 crop its a nice allrounder
-Auto-Chinon 55mm f1.7 (in reality its more like 1.4, large aperture and brighter images at the same f-stop than for example that auto-beroflex.)
-some 70-210mm f4 m42 (nice thing about this is that it has the same filter size than 350D kit lens)
-Kit lens 17-55mm (nothing nice to say about this, just basic)
So i want your opinion which would you buy and why from these 3 choices:
-Vivitar ZOOM/MACRO FOCUSING 28-70mm / 3.9-4.8 made by TOKINA (1:4 macro interests me) (40-60 euros)
-Auto-Beroflex f2,8 / 135 mm MC tele M42 (around 20 euros)
-Exaktar 135mm f2.8 M42 (this is anywhere between 20-40 euros)
And if you like, you can give me tips how much should i pay (you would pay) for each of em.
I will update this post when i get to know the exact prices for me.
