M42 and specialty lens collection

Description

Clearing out my vintage M42 and specialty lens collection, used on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II. This lot features classic retro lenses and high-quality adapters, including a very rare Carl Zeiss Jena matching lens and filter set, the famous Rubinar mirror lens, and the pin-sharp Industar macro. Great for vintage rendering on modern Canon DSLR or mirrorless cameras. 

NOTE: COLLECTION ONLY FROM KILKENNY. Cash or Revolut upon inspection only. For a serious buyer purchasing the entire collection as a single lot, I can arrange to meet halfway within a 40-50 km radius of Kilkenny (e.g., Carlow, Waterford, Portlaoise, etc.) to facilitate the handover. 

COMMUNICATION & PHOTOS:
Due to the volume of items, I have uploaded group photos of this vintage collection. Please feel free to ask any questions or request specific details here in the public comments section. I am happy to add more close-up photos directly to this listing upon request. Written communication via Adverts messages only to avoid any language barriers.

Hi.there I’d be interested in the Zenitar 16mm separately. Given the visible front coating scratches would you be willing to budge on price? cosmetic issues are acceptable to me as long as focus/aperture work and there’s no haze/fungus?

@Kaper Video: Hi, apologies for the delayed response! Thanks for your message. Yes, the focus and aperture work perfectly smoothly, and the glass is clean with no haze or fungus. The marks on the front coating are purely cosmetic and do not affect the image quality at all. It also comes with the highly rare 4-piece original rear filter set. I can drop the price to €85 for a quick cash or Revolut collection. Let me know if that works for you!

Does the Super Takumar 135mm adjust? Looking to try 'frankenstein' it for wet plate photography
Gabe001 3 weeks ago
@MusicLifeMan: Hi! Yes, it adjusts perfectly. The lens is in very good condition. There is only some minor paint wear on the thread where it mounts to the camera, but everything else is flawless. Both the focus and aperture rings move smoothly without any catching, and the aperture blades are completely clean and responsive. It should be a great candidate for your project! Let me know if you need any extra photos.
