$750. Includes the original box even! If I had some cash laying around
this would be mine!
I used to have a screw mount 500 f4.5 SMC Takumar that a previous owner
had modified by gluing a K-mount. It was great and inexpensive tool -
the lens made colors pop so much that you could see the difference just
looking through the finder. The lens had incredible resolution but bad
chromatic aberration. I always wondered what it would be like on a DSLR.
Just for laughs - here are a few shots I took with that lens and my
trusty Pz-1p - all on film, of course:

It was a nice lens - the manual aperture and stop down metering
presented some challenges and, as I said, I assume CA would be a major
problem on a dslr. It was quite respectable on film, though.
