Lest anyone feel left out by a certain other thread, here's a place for you to post your favorite images from alt lenses that cost you $30 or less. Let's see those flea market / thrift store / Craigslist hidden gems!
I've got a $25 OM 75-150/4. It's actually kind of badass for the money. I'll post some shots when I get a chance to sort through them. Great thread idea, Michael.

Beautiful sebboh, amazing pictures. i am not familiar with the lens, may I ask what camera is it for? Thanks.
minolta SR mount cameras (any manual focus minolta slr). it also can be adapted to any of the mirrorless cameras. the conversion is rather difficult, but jim buchanan can convert one to canon eos (though the conversion costs more than the lens). the same goes for nikon, sony, and pentax mount cameras, but i don't know anyone who offers conversions for those brands (meaning you have to do it yourself).
Oly Zuiko OM 28mm, f3.5 (The one that gets no love from the Gear Dwebs)
The thing is good as new and I paid something embarrassing like $16 at a camera show. Apart from Av exposure inaccuracy, it work fine with the mighty Drebel 350-D
sebboh, the MC 50 impresses mightily here, being hard getting it onto the the A mount is a shame. The Nikkor bokeh frightens me, in a nice acid trip kind of way.
cputeq, the Kiron makes wonderful high impact images, or you are very good at post. The first has lots of appeal as it is, deep and bright.
