An old Sears M42 preset 35mm lens

The K24 f3.5 would be my choice as well. I have one and use it for
reverse mounted for macros, and it works great. But aside from a brief
trial on the K1, I've never used it as intended.

Nicely done Juan.
I vote for the K24/3.5 for you to use in one of your upcoming projects…

I suppose since this lens is M42 then it is on-topic enough to post here?
I found this lens on ebay for not too much money, and thought it was
interesting because I haven't seen many M42 preset lenses that weren't made
in the Soviet Union.

Super short, 2'34" video:

I have another short video about the FA35 queued to be posted next week.
I'm also open to suggestions, I have tons of lenses and it's hard to choose
which one to do next. What do you people think?

Some candidates:

K24/3.5
M24-35/3.5
Super Takumar 35/3.5
Super Takumar 28/3.5
Cheap/off brand 24/2.8 K mount (Marexar I think?)
Kiron 28/2 (I think this one has haze though!)

or even

Minolta 50mm macro
50mm Summilux with old dead fungus (this will actually be super interesting
I think!)
Industar 26 (50mm 2.8)
Jupiter 8 (50mm 2)
MIR-1B (37mm 2.8)

Yes I guess I do have a problem...
