Ok thanks, so if I can find m42 they could work quite well with the eosm then? If people don't state anything in an ad, just the camera, it seems quite hard to know the mount Will search for m42 then

The m42 mount will fit with the correct adapter. I wouldn't look at old video cameras. Stick to SLR kits or lenses specifically.

A simple search will give you plenty of options.

Ebay M42 lenses

Be warned it can be a rabbit hole. I was gifted a Minolta 50mm lens and tried it on my M3 about 7 years ago and now I have too many vintage lenses.

There are adapters for most of the SLR mounts to EF-M mount so you can also look at other mounts.
