Of course. But you've been talking about M42. What percentage are M42? |

Maybe the moderators can set up a poll to see approximately how many M42 lenses are in the hands of active members. I'm guessing the number is not very large compared to other forums that have been mentioned.

And on a personal note, I have and use several M42 lenses, some were used in the last week 50 challenge and I was certainly not alone in that challenge. I'll try to do my best and start posting some samples for others to see (both from this challenge as well as from earlier use) Edited by pegelli - 03 January 2017 at 08:17 |

![]() Just add a thread and mention it in the index thread as it can be added to the index. If there are other threads not yet mentioned in the index, mention them too in the index thread as they can also be added to the index. The more lenses on the index, the better it is. Not just M42..... |

err... said M42, but actually meant 'old lenses'. all of them.
also the ones that can't be used on A-mount. ![]() (I own a couple of those as well, since I have my daddy's Olympus Pen FT. but can't use them -yet?-. personal... turned to Sony because of the Minolta legacy. i.e. because we once invested (what I thought to be) a mere fortune in Minolta glass n such (at a time people usually bought all of their stuff brand new). which was def. not disappointing, but became a happy camper after the A99 was launched. -we chose the M. 8000i, the mom it hit the shelves, because Minolta had started the 'revolution' with the 7000. even though it did not, bummer, have a DOF control option! ;-) -it would last another 2 years until the 9000 successor was launched-. after I joined Dyxum I couldn't believe the yummy bokeh in certain pics. it was sooo beautiful! and that's when I found out about ancient glass? and was thrilled to find I could use my very 1st lens ever, the one I dragged along throughout my teenage years, a Helios 44-2, again!!(!) the only Rokkor here belongs to a neighbour. borrowed it for upside-down macro. with a $0.99? Chinese ring ;-) since there are relatively few ACTIVE D. members, I think you shouldn't underestimate how 'BIG' this is. (at the corners of D. I hang out, more and more people are suffering from G.A.S. did I say disorder? ![]() not everyone would be willing to reveal numbers, that w/b like asking a billionaire about bank accounts? ;-) I do believe we are the 'treasure keepers'! 'we' referring to Dyxum as a whole only, unfortunally. I know I shouldn't be proud! ![]() could be mistaken, but I think it's HUGE. and not just about 1 or 2 members. therefore actually a bit surprised there are still not too many sample pages ...yet? and why multiple contributions also w/b appreciated... even if you own a famous lens, they come with a recipe. not everyone knowns (yet) how to make it shine. or even what magic it hides. so sharing w/b nice? came across a forum once in which someone was devastated his new Petzval 2.0 didn't give him the swirls he had payed $$$$$$$$$$$ for. ;-) Edited by angora - 03 January 2017 at 10:44 |

tried to be not selfish
![]() (since I can't adjust it) browsing is still very easy, hence my point! ;-) why are sample pics shifting? have to post in other sizes? Edited by angora - 03 January 2017 at 12:06 |

Ahoy!
Have you looked at the MF lens database on the Pentaxuser website? It's the equivalent to the Dyxum AF lens database and you'll find references to it on Dyxum, but if you haven't looked, see here. Is it of use to you? |

TY! appreciate!
![]() 'regular' there though. it's so hard to find all specifications without them. and like those fora a lot! but just added 2 sample pages and couldn't find those lenses i.e. spec.s through the search engine over there. nor google. |

Once again, could you mention new sample threads here: http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/index-nonnative-lenses-on-e-and-amount-cameras_topic102746.html?
Other people want to be able to find this lens also and they want to use the index. |
