Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd post a quick update. Got home from work to find my adaptor had arrived. Quickly ran outside in my dressing gown to take a quick snap.

Didn't have time to play around fully as never used manual apature & focus before.

From what I'm seeing I've very impressed with the quality and am looking forward to taking this out for a proper test.

Sounds like it was the Planar you had (there going on ebay for around £400) think mine was the kit lens which would prob fetch around £20 unfortunately! Hell if I had that kind of value lying around at home I'd defo be looking for some new glass right now!

Thanks for the Info Merco. Its an MLT5 and it does take the battery (just haven't got one yet). It had 3 rolls of film with it so once I've moved house I'll be experimenting to see what it's capable of. I also purchased the adaptor you mentioned so will give the lens a try on the D5300 when it comes. Been reading some reviews and the lens has a very good write up so looking forward to seeing what it can do.

Not sure exactly as I've stored them away whilst I move house.

It was a 135mm Jenna that came with a Practic M (forgot the numbers) that my grandfather bought in the 80s
