If it's anything like my Printz Galaxy 300mm f5.6 it's nothing special at all. IQ from the DA 55-300 is vastly superior.
I think if my 300 is also a T mount it's value has at least doubles from the T2-M42 adapter...

Prinz Galaxy lenses were sold by Dixons in the UK in the seventies and eighties, as very much budget lenses.

IMHO, Dixons' "Galaxy" (and later "Prinzflex") brand lenses were almost universally "acceptable" at best, and abysmal in many cases - certainly not worth much nowadays in terms of either financial value or, more importantly, "image quality" (whatever you consider that means!).

The only lens of those brands that I ever bought was a Prinzflex M42 2X TC in 1970 (for about £7 on 6-months' "interest-free" credit = just over £1 a month - but then I was only earning about £85/month gross at the time as I was a graduate apprentice and so it was "quite a lot" ). Never again, as I was "not much impressed".
