Recently we had a member who came out and shared some images taken with some adapted M42 mount lenses, this has gotten me interested to see if anyone else here is using older/alternative/adapted lenses.

I currently own and use:
-Nikon Series E 28mm f/2.8
-Nikkor AI 135mm f/2.8
-Nikon Series E 75-150mm f/3.5
-Voigtlander Color Skopar 20mm f/3.5 SL II

and will be adding a Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II very shortly. But none of these really count as really crusty/alternative lenses.

Does anyone else have any good suggestions for dirt cheap playthings?

the worlds best buy;

100-300mm f5.6 $44

and not a bad lens to boot...taken many a cracking shot with it..

What about your 105mm f/2.5?

Actually this is a very interesting topic - I'd be keen to try some other glass if I only knew what is worth looking at and what isn't and also what is worth paying?

Ideally for me it would have to be stuff that's going to easily attach to my D7000/D90. Sharp fast primes would be nice I already have a 50/1.4, 90/2.8 but I'd be keen on something faster and longer (portraits and events) (things in the 85 to 300 range) and perhaps wide (under 20 or 30mm?)
