Picked up another SMC Pentax 28mm f/3.5 K (with a K1000 body) for $76 shipped. Just couldn't resist, I'm hoping to have a backup to the current one I'm using.

My very first Leica lens; the Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH. So far it's been great. Only caveat is that I couldn't get it without the attached Q body. Guess we can't have everything!

Free body ... sounds like a bargain. I've been thinking about getting that new 35mm/F2 Sony/Zeiss Sonnar that comes with a body attached ... birthday coming up

I could not resist so I just bought a Canon FD mount Hanimex 80-200mm f4.5 macro multi-coated. It is mint and so smooth and well made. Japan made nice lenses in the 70's and 80's.

Minolta Close-Up Lens for Minolta MD 100-500 f8, a quite rare achromatic low diopter (+0.33) close-up lens.
Something I was looking for since a few months. Took me about 0.7s to press the "Buy Now"-button
It is actually so rare that it is missing in most lists of achromatic close-up lenses even though it is in high demand from people who film with anamorphic lenses.

I've been on a fast 50ish bing lately. Using them on Sony mirrorless. I'm really enjoying getting back to manually focusing and using aperture rings, etc. - makes me feel more engaged. Most recent additions have been a Canon FL 55 f/1.2 for a great, can't say "no" price (a substantial, heavy chunk of glass, kinda love the aperture ring on the front of the lens), Nikkor 50 f/1.2 (nice size, nice image quality, terrific, smooth focus throw) and an MC Rokkor 58 f/1.2 (deserving of its reputation so far).
I'm excited to have a Canon FD 85L f/1.2 coming in the mail, hopefully tomorrow. Another great (but still a bit painful) price (with luck, we'll see).

Mamiya 645 N Sekors: 80/2.8 and 45/2.8 to accompany my Sekor 150/3.5N.Now the compact,lightweight walkaround Mamiya set for NEXes is ready.
I like the rendition of Mamiya 645 lenses on the A7/R.Unique image plasticity is achieved by combination of subtle yet vivid colours and soft transitions.
Minolta MC Tele Rokkor 200/3.5 - a typical,sharp and crisp late MC Rokkor with nice colour rendition.
Tiny,silver,sharp 135/4,M39 Jupiter from the late 1950ies - a very good lens.
And last,but not least - two heavy boxes containing 37 various manual lenses,lens hoods,extenders,flashguns,cable releases,filters ect,which I got for the equivalent of 70 Euro.Now some time is needed to dig through all this.The first lens I've chosen for testing is the huge 6x6 format, 300mm/f4 Meyer Optic Gorlitz Orestegor.

Mamiya 645A 120mm f/4 Macro lens
Just bought one on ebay and hoping that it will live up to the high expectations set by recommendations here on the board
And a Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 Ai-S to be used on my Nikon F2 and also for comparison in my 50mm lens comparison
