p.1 #1 · Zenith B lens' -- What would they work on now?

My dad got me excited about photography when I was very young.. I would always be sitting using his Zenith B - 35-150 zoom lens w/ 2x Tele to watch the birds at our feeder. The focus screen was so clear and contrasty....

What of the many DSLR's out there might work with those old lens' (photos to come...)

IIRC that's a screwmount system, so anything except a Nikon can use them with an M42 adaptor.

You likely won't be happy with the results though. Those old zooms are not very good, especially paired with a 2x TC.

So - It's a Hanimar No. 69365 135m f/3.5 lens... The TC is a Vivitar 2x converter.

Here's some links to the photos of them

So an M42 Adapter?
