I've been trying several M42 lenses with the SD9. The main problem is the proper focusing. Although the SD9 seems to recognize the focus point, is not as clear as with the 18-50mm lens. So most of the shots lack of proper focus...
I've been thinking in replacing the focusing screen with a split-image one, but even the reliable Katz-eye have a disclosure on their site regarding the SIGMA cameras:

Does any of you have experience of focusing manual lenses on the SD9?.
This is the best I got yesterday with a 135mm TAMRON 860 M42 lens attached to the SD9. (It's an OEM lens under the brand Weltblick, I own two of them, the other one is under the brand Sands Hunter). I use it as a lightweight portrait lens:
Kind regards,
Jes.
