I always thought it was a decent lens, my copies had good contrast and were relatively sharp for what they were.
You just have to watch eBay, eventually a screen will show up that’s not priced outrageously.

Generally I never liked a split prism for this reason but you may be able to use it even with the blackout to get focus from it by holding the camera at an angle, about 30’ to 45’ angle will usually cause the blacked out spot to illuminate. I have the same issue with my OM1s which will black out on any lens that has a max stop over 3.5 and even at 3.5 they are often twitchy. These days I kind of appreciate the split prism as my eyeballs arent so young anymore and people want crazy money for OM focus screens.

I've had two copies of that lens. Essentially it is as marcusBMG stated, it is a slow lens which doesn't let much light in and you are experiencing classic split-prism black out. The lens works better when used with a plain focusing screen.

Thats your split prism. This will black out as described when there is insufficient light with a slow lens - can certainly start to become evident at f5.6.

Take the M42 converter off your camera and your lenses will then just bayonet in place.

This converter will only work if you find some screw mount (M42) lenses.
A screw mount 3x converter is likely not very high quality, Likely not worth the investment in more glass?
It should be faster glass too, you'll lose 3-stops of light with it,

It is only possible to adapt M42 to K mount, not the other way round. If you have a K mount camera, a K mount lens and an M42 converter you cannot use it.
