We have here the Samigon 1:2.8 35mm M42 mount lens with a M42 to EOS adapter for the Canon Rebel T3i.
As you can see the lens is all metal construction. The light pro consumer T3i succumbs to the hefty weight of the well made almost indestructible Samignon lens. Made in Japan means quality.
This lens will be in use for my summer photography gunning. Unfortunately, the weather is still a bit windy and cold for me to take my precious DSLR outside to really open the aperture on a bright sunny day like today. I am amassing a nice collection of vintage glass for my camera bag and personal collection. The quest for cheap vintage glass for a modern DSLR is really making my wallet happier but a little bit more slimmer. Shipping is a killer in the final price.

Playing around with the lens today showed me the lens is sharp with enough surrounding light it brings out great detail. It has a bit of softness but overall not to much. I realize some of these lenses will naturally have a soft glow in the final pictures. It will make a great walk around lens and as a wide angle lens for long exposure shots in the city. I can't wait to test out this baby during the night in NYC. All the samples below have been unprocessed and not cropped.
