I’ve never seen a lens as low as $5, but I think I’ll go bargain hunting this weekend around some local secondhand stores. I might find something that is unloved and cheap!

I never have either unless it was faulty. Perhaps they made a mistake and put an excellent lens at a faulty price. I think because it was a miscellaneous unknown brand they weren’t able to find a value for it and just went with $5?

There's a Goodwill store in Portland OR that always has an assortment of lenses.  Lately some newer lenses with contacts have been showing up with PK and MD mounts.  Prices range from $5 up.  I'll probably be there again on Sunday.  I once picked up a Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4 for $8 there with a stuck filter and loose screws that were easily fixed.

It ain't easy being me, but someone's gotta do it.
