Picked up a new lens - Takumar 50mm f/1.4. I don't have the M42 adapter yet. Was tempted to try this lens while waiting for it. Just held the lens in front of the camera!. Shot these at f/1.4

Thank you very much merrytexan.
As for adapters - it helps to attach and use lenses that were made for other mounts. I shoot with a Sony NEX6. It is a mirrorless camera. Which means it does not have the mirror box found in DSLRs. This makes it possible to use these cameras with lenses of other mounts - (Yes ! all those old lenses - Nikon/Canon/Minolta etc.) - if an adapter is available.
