Re: Lens Adaptors

You are not telling camera anything. You set the aperture any way you can on the lens (including making a funny bokeh cutout shape for the entrance pupil) and set the camera to A or M mode. Camera meters and shoots. You don't even have to set the ISO, you can leave it at auto and set the minimum shutter speed, etc. It's actually much better than using manual lenses on DSLR.

Edit, lenses - from bunch of affordable fast nifty fifties (from 40/1.8 to 58/2 to 58/1.2) and venerable 135mm f2.8 you can't go wrong. My favorites are ultra cheap helios 44-2 (58/2 equivalent to ~85mm full frame) with swirly bokeh, pentax 50/1.7 and Konica Hexanon 135 3.2 with MFD of 1m (sharp, beautiful colors and very compact to boot, equivalent to ~200mm). Might get a legacy 85mm as well (~135mm).
