mmm. mga 1k kapin man guro. actually kang carlo montoya ni gikan. it's coupled with the helios pud nga lens.

ahh thanks bro. ga mahay sa ubos bro ohh =))

I forgot the exact price but they're not expensive. I got mine from an ebay seller in China and Hong Kong. Just ebay for "m42 to EOS adapter". Buy from those with 100% ratings and request if they could ship via EMS as SAL is too long but I got mine via SAL but never again!

Here's my test shot from the Helios 44-2 before I sold it to Aris T_T. Sharp at f2 already. But women will hate you when you take a photo of them with this lens (check out my wife's photo below).

These old lenses could give some of the modern lenses a run for their money IQ wise. Check out the photos I took with my MF 28mm here: Spent a day with the Badjaos::Manual Focus Lenses

Anyway, just get the aforementioned M42 to EOS adapter (read the description of the product to ensure that it fits your specific cam as the adapter for full frame cameras are slightly different) and you're good to go.
