For my next holiday, I want to take 3 MF lenses with me ...

- a wide - a normal - a small tele



For the normal I already have a Zeiss 45mm f/2.8 and for the tele, I will use

my Adaptall-2 Tamron 90/2.5 macro ... but I have no experience with MF wides.



So far, I found images and descriptions of these lenses:



- Adaptall-2 Tamron 17mm f/3.5



- M42 Flektogon 20/4



- M42 Flektogon 20/2.8



- M42 Mir-20M f/3.5



- Voigtlaender Skopar 20/3.5 (nice + light, but I found the price quite bold, even used)



Can any recommend one of these (or something else) ... I'm willing to put

up to 200-250 Euros on a used lens .



Thanks ... Rainer

Hi Rainer,

I was going to suggest the Zeiss 21/2.8, which is an excellent lens ... until I saw your budget. Sorry I can't help here, but would you mind saying which adapter you use? I've been reluctant to start using adapters due to lack of reliable info on how they perform - and the idea of using M42 lenses is very intriguing.
