58mm f2.4 Takumar (37mm mount)

I recently found a rather clean example at a moving sale. The Tower 24 it was on is not exactly functioning. However, I'd like to give this lens a try. Is this one worth tying to hunt down an Asahi 37mm to 42mm thread adapter?
Thanks,
Charles

The T24 is the rarest of this Tower series. Find a collector who wants one to finish the collection. The lens is the distinguishing feature of the camera. Since the camera is an Asahiflex IIb under the skin, parts for the camera are not hard to come by.
