Up for grabs are a couple of budget lenses in rough condition. Good for practicing lens repair or perhaps as donors for parts?
$10 each, plus shipping.
Pentax SMC Takumar 55mm f/2.0 #8131214
I couldn't get the front ring off this so the front group still has some fungus around the edges. The rear elements came clean with just a bit of Ronsonol and elbow grease with no apparent damage being left by the fungus.
Barrel is fairly clean, focus is smooth and aperture works fine.
Minolta MC-Rokkor-X PF #4091487
Body is in rough condition, shows lots of exposure to dirt and wear. Glass is surprisingly good given cosmetic condition of barrel. Function is fine, outside of a filter ring dent. There is some haze/dust depositing inside that I couldn't get cleaned out without fixing the filter ring damage and I need space on my shelves and not another project. Last image is a sample of this lens held in front of my DSLR.
