What's the best IQ that can be had for under $50? I don't mind M42 with AF confirm adaptors, etc.

It's just I want more lenses to play around with! Under $50 I wouldn't even have second thoughts.

Current: 5d III | 1Ds3 | 5d II gripped | 40d | 17-40L | 24-105L | 50mm f/1.4 | 100 f/2 | 70-200L f/2.8 | 430EX |
Previously: 10d, 40d, 5d2, 14mm Tamron f/2.8, 16-35L, 100 Macro

Best AF lens for Canon for $50 or under is, IMHO:

As for MF lenses...the 85 and 200 Nikkors aside, none of the Nikkors below in my sig cost more than $50...all are wonderful...

Here's a recent shot taken with the 300mm on my 40D...
