FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wowpricebuyandsaleThe Paragon 300mm M42 telephoto lens is a vintage, manual-focus lens designed for M42 screw-mount cameras. It was popular in the 1970s-80s for its reach and adaptability, especially among photographers seeking a budget-friendly telephoto option. Here’s a breakdown of its features:
Lens Overview
  • Focal Length: 300mm, which is excellent for wildlife, sports, and distant subjects.
  • Mount Type: M42 screw mount, compatible with various cameras using an M42 adapter, including modern digital bodies.
  • Aperture Range: Typically around f/5.6 to f/22, allowing for control over depth of field and lighting.

Key Features
  • Manual Focus: Fully manual, which requires patience and precision, especially at 300mm.
  • Construction: Often made with durable metal, though this adds to its weight compared to modern lenses.
  • Optical Quality: Known for its unique, vintage look—photos may appear softer compared to modern lenses, especially wide open.

Usage Tips
  • Tripod Recommended: At 300mm, camera shake is more noticeable, so a tripod is advised for sharp results.
  • Adapting for Digital Cameras: With an M42-to-K-mount adapter, it’s compatible with Pentax DSLRs, or with respective adapters for Canon, Sony, and others.
  • Stop-Down Metering: Like most M42 lenses, you’ll need to use stop-down metering on compatible film bodies.

Ideal UsesThe Paragon 300mm M42 telephoto lens is a great option for those wanting to explore telephoto photography with a vintage touch, especially if they enjoy the charm and character of older lenses.
