I'd like to resolve this issue for under 50 bucks, so an RP et al. isn't going to happen.

I'd go a few hundred for a new 135 but the Samyang is a 600-odd grams porker.

For that sort of money you're looking at a Russian Jupiter 11 or 37 in either Leica screw or M42 mount and it definitely needs a hood. You might get a Zuiko or FD or SMC Takumar or Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5, for that or not much more; they're all pretty common and good, with better coatings than the Jupiter. My Zuiko weighs just under 290g naked. An OM to EF-M or RF adapter adds about another 100g.
