Lenses have no fungus and may have minor haze. I didn't shine the car's headlight through them. The 28-135mm, 80-200mm, and Tokina 25-50mm are very good performers and were my mainstay for years. I have Nikon, Olympus, Canon, and Minolta Tamron mounts $25. All prices plus shipping.

Is the Samyang mirror lens really 50 mm (I think that unlikely)?
 
I moved the photos in this thread slightly, moved Ralph's post from the duplicate thread, re-opened this one and closed the duplicate.
Hopefully this should work now.

Assuming the Samyang mirror lens is 500/8, is that Tamron mount? If so, that'd be $90 including a Nikon adapter (plus shipping, of course)?
 
Got the Samyang mirror lens in on Friday (overnight handling by USPS!), I'm very pleased, especially for the price. The only things I can find are a slight haze on the corrector plate and the Nikon mount ring being 1/3 turn off, so the focus scale is on the left instead of on top (both easily dealt with, well within expectation for a 40+ year old lens in this class).
 
There are some grub screw on the T-mount, you can loosen and turn the ring so the focus aligns with the camera body. I never pay much attention to focus scales except on wide angle lenses.

That's why I'm confident the clocking of the scale can be corrected easily.

I don't *use* the scale, as such (surely not on a lens like this), so not critical at all.

Clearly, however, I'm going to have to finally build a barn-door star tracker so I can use this for astrophotography.
 
Make offer on remaining lenses. The 28-135mm and the 80-200mm are very good performing lenses.
