Default Re: Vintage film cameras

I went out for the m42 chinon 35 this afternoon and luckily took a camera with me. The lens looked good, nice and clean but on the camera, it was like looking through a yellow filter. It didn't seem to focus well and I put the camera on 'B', tried shooting it at different apertures and it wasn't stopping down either. The seller was a nice guy. (He had a very expensive looking box for digitising slides and negatives.) He let me have the lens for nothing as it was no use to him although I'm not sure what's up with it or if I can fix it. He also offered me an m42 Vivitar 70-150 zoom plus matching 2x converter for a discount price, which I thought I'd take to feed the Fujica.
