I have recently bought two old M42 screw mount Zeiss Jena lenses from ebay. Both I had sent to my parents in the UK (shipping was cheaper, than to Canada), and intend to get my hands on them this week.

The 35mm F2.4 Flektogon, and 135mm F3.5 Sonnar.

The first seems to be the almost similar to the 35mm Macro limited by Pentax.

Anyone tried these Zeiss lenses, especially the Sonnar, and want to post a couple of pics and experiences?

p.s. I paid C$145 for the 35mm and C$97 for the 135mm, both look clean from photo's (we will see when I pick them up).
p.p.s I got a genuine Pentax M42 to K mount adapter for C$25 + tax at Henry's here Toronto.

I don't have and K, or M lenses excluding me from other clubs, so I started a new one on here.. lol
