Pentacon auto 1.8/50 lens with M42 mount, from 1980–1990, in fair physical condition and not functionally tested; the aperture works and it can be used with an adapter on a digital camera.
Description from the seller
According to information I found on the internet, this Pentacon 1.8 50mm MC is a successor to the Meyer-Optik Görlitz Oreston 50 mm f/1.8. The lens can produce nice results (see the photos in the various reviews of the lens on the internet).
I have used this lens only with an adapter on a digital camera, not on an analog M42 camera. Therefore I did not include testing in the description.
With an adapter on a digital camera it indeed gives nice results. Bear in mind that this is an old lens and there will be specks of dust; I haven’t seen haze or fungus and the aperture works (note that there is a button on the side to make the aperture function without the lens being on an M42 camera).
In short, a nice lens to experiment with and to take nice photos with. Have fun with it.
