Gee, I just sold one on ebay with a praktica attached for $20. It was a Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm 2.8 Tessar. Not a bad lens, not a fast one, either. Mark -- ... ...

Gee, I already have a Cosina M-42 camera. An Argus/Cosina STL 1000 -- same as the Vivitar 220 SL. However, a modern body would be a nice addition. Cosina...
