I brought one of them M42 adaptors that you see on Ebay a wile back, then on Sunday night I won a Carl Zeiss Flektogon f2.4 35mm Wide-Angle Lens which is one of the best 35mm lens.

Eggiwegs! I would like... to smash them!

Okay the downside is that you have to set the aperture yourself and there is no auto focus, but to get the results you see here the canon equivalent would cost 900 at least for their 35mmL f/1.4. the lens cost me 104 and the adaptor 10. I'm pleased with the results and I think the gamble was worth it. What do you think!

Very nice. Congrats on "winning" it? How much did your "win" end up costing you. Some awsome results there, looking forward to see what more you can do with it! =] Enjoy in good health. Heh, heh -- thanks for editing your last comment with how much it cost you. ;]

35mm is hardly wide-angle ;) Good value for money too.
