Yeah, but that's a very niche interest.
Those don't autofocus, don't manually focus well unless you mod the camera with a split prism, and are optically not great unless you're into it for the swirly bokeh or such niche things.
Certainly there's niche appeal for it, but not mass appeal by any means.

- flipthefrog 3y agoYou're obviously thinking of Helios 44 and other Russian lenses, but there are also many outstanding m42 lenses, including Pentax Takumars.
- sudosysgen 3y agoI have a 50 1.4 takumar, it's optically not great by today's standards. You really do only buy it for the look and feel (or because it's so cheap)
