Hi All
I have a large collection of vintage lenses left over from my film days - M42 manual focus Pentax Takumar primes and Contax Zeiss 50mm prime and 28-85mm zoom.
I still shoot film but would like to experiment with these lenses on a digital body. A bit of research has shown that a Canon body would be the most compatible by way of an adapter, and used in A mode.
I don't want to spend a fortune so have been looking at primarily the 100D. 1200D if I can find a new one still and a 1300D.
Does anyone have any experience of using these specific cameras with older lenses with an adapter? Research told me that the old 5D mk1 had an issue with its mirror hitting the back of the lens. I am in the market for one of these entry level Canon bodies and just want to be sure that they will work ok.
Many thanks
Julian
Have considered a mirrorless camera with an EVF?
You could probably get an older generation Fuji or Sony for not too much money (and you won't need the latest generation of focus tracking anyway).
Being able to use a viewfinder and having digital split screen
What is that then?
, focus tracking
Uhmmm.. Fcous tracking with manual lenses? really?
and the ability to magnify the focus point makes a big difference.
Manual adapters are available for a wide range of mounts.
