couple of old lens

[blinkerz]

My uncle has given me a bag with some old cameras and lens to check out.

There is a 29mm 2.8 Carl Zeiss Jena & 135mm 3.5 Carl Zeiss Jena.

Will the 29mm lens be good quality for using as wide angle landscape/cityscape lens compared to my canon 35 1.4mm @ f8+.

I presume the 135mm is not worth keeping?

are the m42 mount? Won't you lose infinity focus with an EF converter

The 135 & the 35mm I have. Both are VERY good. They easily match L glass with the 135 being sharper than my 70-200 F4 L. The 35mm is worth a fair bit too.

these are m42 mount.. i thought the converters still gave infinity focus?

Think it depends on the camera/lens combination to be honest - there's some information here

With M42 on an EOS should be no problem with infinity focus,all minr focus fine
