Taken with an old Carl Zeiss Jena 50/3.5 lens in M42 mount using an adapter on my Canon EOS 5D.
Like many cheap lens adapters, this one puts the lens closer to the sensor so the manufacturer can guarantee infinity focus. Unfortunately, it causes the back of the lens to hit the 5D's big mirror (mine is now missing a chunk of the mirror as evidence). It works well with extension tubes, though.
