Thanks :)
 
I'm not sure about the others but from what I've read some (if not all) Carl Zeiss Jena lenses are really fantastic. I'd try them all out and see what they can do, even if they are manual focus they could be optical gems. Some of the older lenses are still well sought after due to the arguably better build quality of older lenses.
 
If you can make do with the manual focus then give them a try and see what the results are! Eventually over time, you may replace them naturally with modern auto focus versions.... but for now... why not! :)
 
A brief googling showed up some very nice examples from the 35 f/2.4 as well as a for sale thread selling a slightly worn one for $95. Even if you don't want to use it, at least you know it's worth something :).
 
Ebay should get you the adapters and yes they are well worth using. I have a Carl Zeizz Jenna sonnor 135mm f3.5 and it's a real peach!

Tripod, manual focus using live view if you have it and you are good to go!
