Thanks, Ray!
I think I've "overloaded" the thread somewhat
Usually, I don't find the time that easily, but I had some vacation days saved for the end of year period.
So, I figured I'd add a selection all at once

A couple of my favorite adapted shots:
Using a PK mount 28mm (with a variable ND to give IR) on my full spectrum A7ii

And one with a 35mm/2.4 flektogon

Not all my adapted lenses are classic lenses, I also adapt projector lenses & other oddballs like this c-mount microscope objective:

Meyer Optik Gorlitz Trioplan 50mm F2.9 V - the V means it has some kind of coating. Just got this lens, pretty much the opposite of the Kodak Ektar above - sub-par optical formula (triplet) but an absolute joy to shoot with as it is so so smooth. The Kodak is an amazing lens, optically for a 1940s lens, but mine at least is not the smoothest operator.
Of course, the reason you get a Trioplan is for the soap bubble...

I think I will need to shoot this one on a camera with an EVF, it is not easy for the focus peaking with a not so sharp lens...

Thanks, it's a funny design that lens, I'm used to starbursts when a lens is closed down but not wide open like that.This one

Hanimex MC MACRO 28-80mm F3.5 - a strange lens, has 4 dials for zoom, aperture, focus and macro (basically, built in macro extension rings). It was a throw-in with something else I bought. My copy is in MD mount - but I believe they were available also in M42 and K mount (and maybe others). No idea who really built it.
