Someone gave me this some time ago and I never thought I would use it, until I had the desire to shoot film.

Then after a little Google I realised I can use the M39 lens (which is a 55mm f2) on my Sony Alpha, like I have been my Chinon 55mm f1.7 M42 lens.

It cannot focus to infinity because you have two adapters, an M39 to M42, then M42 to Sony Alpha, and it only works in manual, which is amazing! However, I do have with the camera extension tubes!
So for the pricey sum of £4 for the adapter, I now have a fantastic macro lens!
Has anyone else ever used any of these lens/cameras?
