$5 antique store find

Seems to work OK!
The doughnut rings in the background are something mirror lenses are renowned for. Some like it, others don't.
I tend to try & select backgrounds where it's less obvious, but that's often not practical.

I doubt you'll have any trouble getting your moneys worth out of this beast!
 
I used mine for a lot of statuary and other high up building decorations, this avoids a lot of those busy backgrounds that have the doughnut rings like petrochemist noted.
 
......... I am hoping on adapting it to a Sony a6000...........
.........

......... I ended up using a FD - NEX adapter on the mount that was already on there. ...........

Huh?

In a nutshell, it's a T mount lens that had an adapter on it so it could be put on a Canon 35mm film camera. I kept that adapter on it and used another adapter to go from the Canon lens to my e-mount. Kinda janky, but it works...

Overall, I like the look of the images, I actually enjoy the donut bokeh, I think it gives it interesting texture. Obviously this is not a lens for high resolution sharpness... But definitely worth the investment.
