Managed to get some old manual lenses for M42. And mount them on my second-hand Canon 500d.

Tomorrow I will pick up Jupiter 21M 200/4 for around 26 USD and there is a good deal to buy Zenit TTL camera, along with Pentacon Auto MC 29/3.5, Helios 44-M 58/2 and again Pentacon Auto MC 135/2.8. for approx 66 USD in one bundle our eastern european version of craigslist.
I have one question, as a poorfag from eastern yurop, how the hell does anyone afford actual lenses beyond the kit lens? My photography is just a bullshit hobby of a phd student in physics, hence the poorfag factor and not being afraid to use old M42 lenses.
In America you could probably get old F-Mount Japanese lenses on a good price, and especially when your camera has a motor to power the focusing axle and the aperture lever, then you have a good source of cheap glass at your disposal. But then you are limited to F-mount lenses and cannot really use M42 lenses, since the adapters from M42 to Nikon suck.
