Re: Old manual focus lenses for NX500
Thanks for the reply! I'll have to look into the Jupiter lenses. I actually just found several Minolta lenses that I already have a MFT adapter for, so I'll test them out on my OMD EM-10ii and get an adapter for NX if any are worthy.

I bought my economically-priced second-hand NX5 purely as a platform for my old Russian rangefinder lenses. The Orion-15 28mm is beautifully compact, albeit slow, at f/6 maximum aperture, the Jupiter-8 50mm f/2 and the Jupiter-9 85mm f/2 are all bitingly sharp and none of the various Tessar-derived Industars will disappoint.
I use several Fujinon 42mm-screw mount lenses and am always pleased with the results.
I acquired most of my old lenses long before there was a collector market for them. Everyone wanted bayonet-mount autofocus zooms 20-30 years ago, screw-mount primes were almost given away! Times have changed and prices have sky-rocketed, for some examples.
Good luck, and enjoy
