Years ago I got a bit into photography, and I got a cheap M42 lens adapter after I picked up a Pentacon 135 2.8 [1] - for only £8! It's a great lens, and while I'm not a tech expert, it just has a really different look to any of the standard Canon-fit lenses I have. It looks a bit like the images in the imax, and it's not just that it has shallow DoF because of the aperture (I have a sigma 35 that goes down to 1.4). If I wanted a 'vintage' look to a photo, I'd use it, and it's great having a large aperture lens for very little money that you can see in action as it's manual.
