Older russian lenses (for Zenit cameras) are very good, and cheap.

(this is the sharpest lense (stopped down of course) I ever had (in corners there is a bit of coma, though).

Also, see here, older canon (FD) lenses are very good.

(Internal element of 300mm was later cleaned successfully with vinegar - it is now "as new")

Some photos taken with 50mm and 100mm FD lenses are on the link below:
