1.) Sigma 100-200mm f4.5 MACRO (40$)
2.) Kiron 28-105mm f3.2-4.5 MACRO (100$)
3.) Jag35 35mm adapter for videocameras + Canon FD 50mm f1.8 lens ($100)

Sigma: Glass is in good shape, some cleaning marks on front element, but does not affect pictures. I was surprised at the color rendition of this lens, very vibrant colors are seen. Not sure if it’s the coatings or what! Pentax K-mount, but adapted to Canon EF. Have used on my Canon T2i with no issues.

Kiron: Maker of Vivitar Series 1 lenses. Very sharp, glass is in excellent shape. It is in Nikon mount, but with the purchase of a small Nikon-F to Canon-EF mount adapter (5-10$ on ebay) it works well on Nikon or Canon body. Have used on my Canon T2i with no issues.

Jag35: This is a 35mm adapter used on small (37mm thread mount) video cameras. It has a achromat inside which your 35mm lens casts an image onto to emulate the look of the shallow DOF of 35mm cameras. The front mount accepts any FD lens, and with an adapter, you can put pretty much any type of lens on this barrel. Comes with Canon FD 50mm f1.8. Have used this on several video cameras with no issue.

When you say "macro", what are we talking here... 1:1 ? And will AF work for #2 on a Canon body?

The Macro on this lens (without extension tubes) is 1:4.

These are all MF lenses. No electronics in them what-so-ever.

I have used them (minus the 35mm adapter) on my Canon DSLR for photos and video with no problems. Not sure about adapting the Pentax K to Nikon (as I have a Canon body) but the Kiron is in Nikon mount natively.
