Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

I came across a case of filters and lenses at a local flea market which included a tele takumar 135 f3.5. Purchased the whole lot without looking too closely other than seeing the soligor 450 f8 and numerous old filters. After getting home and looking further, I found a Nikkor S.C. 5cm f1.5 LTM in the case. The limited information I've been able to find indicates this is a rather rare lens, about 400 made. Now I don't know if I should go buy a m39 camera to use the lens (tried it on my K-5 since it also had a m39-m42 adapter) but it would only focus on subjects inches away.

Wondering what others would do in this situation?

Thanks for the link! Looks like I'll start getting it ready for market. I might even be able to start considering a K-1 now

Mirrorless and Canon and Leica folks apparently love this lens and it is highly collectable. Condition will matter, and markets are variable. I would also check around for more sales before pricing it, but it does appear quite the find.
