I haven't had an opportunity to go back yet...hopefully tomorrow. It seems several of you have a good opinion of the M42 mount version of it so if that is what it is, I'll likely give it a try. =) (Sorry Jeff!) Then I'll need to get my hands on the M42 adapter. =)
Thanks for the input Igilligan and Yoshizuki.
ETA-
@Jeff - The $369 lens looks more like the lens I am considering. Just the number is different. Maybe it is a M42 mount lens then. Can't wait to find out. I do have an early bid in on a Pentax M 1.7 50mm though just in case. =)

Thanks for all of the greetings! =)
@Blue - Hope you enjoyed Indy! I live on the south side of the Indianapolis. I'm a New Yorker by birth but have been here thanks to the hubby (a born and bred Hoosier) for almost 11yrs now! It's a nice place to live though I do miss hills and mountains.

Thank you for all of the input and info. I am still learning about lenses and what to look for etc so these responses are quite helpful to me. You've all given me some things to think about before jumping in. =)
@jct us101 - Every search I've done here and elsewhere, none have looked exactly like the one I found at the flea market! Though it seems that Just1MoreDave has the answer to that problem...likely a different maker.
@JeffJS Thank you for your input! I will start looking into the Pentax M 50mm 1.7.
@Stevebrot - I didn't specify because at the time I didn't know to look for that. :o I'll have to go back and look at it more. I need to do that anyway now that I have been reading up on what to look for to make sure it is in good condition (only did some of the things I've seen recommended). Oh and thanks for the welcome! =)

Hello! I've been soaking up all the great info here on the forums for a few days now and have finally registered myself. :D
I just got my first dSLR a couple of days ago! It is a black K-x. So far I really like it though I haven't had time to play with it much yet. I got into photography about 15yrs ago in college but haven't worked much with SLRs for the last 10yrs. I'm really excited to be using an SLR again but having the instant gratification of a digital camera (not to mention the ease of manipulating and printing images!). Just need to refresh myself on all the technical stuff...I'm definitely a bit rusty!
I've seen some really beautiful photographs posted on the forums...I hope to be able to catch up to speed and share my own soon too!
Toni

I was hoping to have some input on the Sears 50mm 1:1.7 lens. The text is different than the one in the review section...it says Auto Sears 1:1.7f=50mm 10396?(I didn't take the best cell pic of it :o) Lens Made In Japan. Is this lens worth $15? I found one at a local flea market but haven't purchased it yet. I would be using it on my new K-x.
Thanks in advance for any and all input!
