Enjoy the junk product Old lens with an affordable mount adapter

"Old lens" is one that has become easier to use because the mainstay of the lens replacement camera has changed from a single -lens reflex camera to a mirrorless.

Mainly called lenses from the film era, the retro image is different from the high -quality depiction of the latest lenses, and there are many fans.I also have some old lenses and take them out and use them.

The other day, I got an old lens in a second -hand camera city held at a department store in Tokyo, so I would like to report on how to use it.

I purchased "SMC Pentax-M 1: 1" that appeared in the 1970s..7 50mm "single focus lens.It was 2,000 yen for junk.Junk is an item that has some difficulties, and in the case of lenses, there are many mold, cloudy, and the rotation of the rings is often cool.

It is cheap, but when you pick up the lens in the case, the appearance is beautiful for junk, and the focusing movement is smooth.There is no problem with the rotation and click feeling of the aperture ring.The essential optical system is that there is no noticeable mold or cloudy feeling in a fluorescent light.I decided to buy, "Is this condition good?"

Nevertheless, I knew that junk lenses seemed to be a little mold and cloudy, even if they looked beautiful.When I went home and illuminated it with a light, it was still a little cloudy.However, it seems that this level does not have a big effect on the image.
