Pentacon 50mm f/2.4 - M42

Pentacon 50mm f/2.4 - M42No photo of this one yet.

Pentacon 50mm f/2.4 M42 prime lens with a standard 50mm field of view and bright f/2.4 aperture. This is a classic manual-focus screw-mount normal lens, typically valued for its compact size, simple all-mechanical operation and the distinctive rendering associated with older East German optics. It suits film SLR users and digital photographers adapting M42 lenses who want an affordable, characterful standard lens for everyday shooting, portraits and general use. Handling is straightforward, with manual aperture control and focus, so it rewards careful technique rather than speed. Optical behaviour can vary a little with sample condition and age, but these lenses are usually chosen for their vintage look more than clinical sharpness. Used-market checks should focus on smooth focus travel, clean aperture blades that stop down crisply, and clear glass free from haze, fungus, separation or excessive cleaning marks; also inspect the M42 threads for wear and make sure the adapter or body mount fits securely.
