50's make nice loupes, if you need a loupe. About 4x or 6x IIRC. I used
to use M50 f2's for this in my slide shooting days.

I got this lens with a used ME Super about 6 years ago.
I realize today as I'm sorting through my goodies that I don't ever use it.
When I got it, it had a damaged filter ring and a loose focus collar which I
had to fix by removing the front ring (I don't remember what that part is
called - the part that encircles the front of the lens and says SMC Pentax
1:1.4/50). I had to put a couple of holes in the face of that part so I could
unscrew it through the damaged threads.
Well - in any case, the optics are good and it works fine, but I'm trying to
determine if it has any value at all to anyone so I can put it on the market.
KEH would probably call it 'ugly' because it is. Looks ugly but it works
perfectly!
Hard to describe.. here's a 2.1MB iPhone photo of the front:

Anyways.. is this worth anything? Or do I throw it back in a drawer to be
ignored for another 4 years?
