When you've been practising photography for some years, you might need to challenge yourself a little harder to get the same satifaction you used to get. One can explore new niches like, a nature photographer going into studio more often, or a portrait photographer going into product photography.
I was trying to find myself some new challenges lately and decided on reviving (or reusing) old gear. Here are the first results of one of my challenges. I took my older (yet digital) Pentax K-30 and tried to use an old DDR lens, namely the Pentacon 135mm f2,8.
To be honest, the reason I'm using my spare-body is because I was afraid to damage my go-to camera with the M42-PK adapter ring. Turns out, the ring works fine with this lens, but you decide for yourselves.
Results:
Shot on Pentax K-30 with Pentacon 135mm f2,8 lens and Helios 3x Extender

The cameras developing so quickly but luckily some of them still giving great quality, I love the way you still keep your old equipment and still using. The pictures look beautiful :)

Thank you @stef1, I still have all the cameras I used in the past decade and a half. My first DSLR is not being used by my cousin, whom I'm teaching photography basics. The lens I used for these pictures is older than me. It was made in 1986 and I was made in '90. So, I had to buy this one second hand to get it.
