Hello,

I am Katsuo.
I enjoy reading reviews on this forum, which help me learn about various lenses.
I have a growing collection of M42 mount lenses that I enjoy using on my Sony a7ii with a Novoflex adapter.
Most recently I purchased a Macro-Takumar 100mm F4. It is very versatile and a lot of fun!
My other favorite lenses are:

Super Multi Coated Takumar 120mm,
Helios 44-2
Takumar 50mm 1.4 (8element)
Industar 61L/Z
