My own experience: the M42 lenses I have (the Super Takumar 28mm f3.5 and the 105 f2.8) work great with the SD10, which I still have. The SD10 has a certain purity of color and crispness to the image that is just excellent, in my view.

Thanks for sharing this experience about the SD10!

The sdQ also works well with the older lenses. But for me the problem is the 30mm 1.4 that came with the camera: IT'S SO GOOD (particularly when combined with the sdQ) that it makes the 28mm look weak, and not worth the trouble, might as well just go with using autofocus and the Program mode.

Thanks for the warning about the 30mm lensĀ 

Meanwhile, I treasure the two Takumar lenses, and they look like little jewels.

Takumars are indeed superb lenses, I also have 2 of them.
