This week I got two manual lenses, from a Dutch auction site. The first one is a Pentax Super Takumar 35/3.5 and the second one is a Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 135/3.5.
Both are manual focus, and the modern Canon digital reflexes don't have a suitable viewfinder for manual focusing anymore, so I am eagerly waiting for the ordered adapters with a focus confirm chip! For now I use a simple mechanical adapter, judging sharpness with my eyes only.
I am very impressed with the CZJ Sonnar lens so far, but I didn't have much time to test it yet (hopefully this weekend). The colors and bokeh are beautiful, and the sharpness doesn't seem to be below modern Canon lenses.
Anyone else on Ipernity who enjoys using old style lenses on their modern camera? How are your experiences?
