Vivitar 28mm f2.8 Macro lens on my K50..need some help
Sounds like you got it...
Good advice here... You are gonna love the old MF glass when you get used to it. Seems everyone has its own 'look/character' - I love some of the old Russian and East German glass.
Somebody in the house got a new Nikon DSLR for Christmas, I was helping him set it up and was so jealous that I had to pull my Kx and K01 out of the closet and put some MF lenses on them.
It takes a while to get used to them, If I am shooting below F2.8 I tend to use live view (magnified) just to make sure I am close to focus.
Here are a couple snaps from a 20 dollar Helios 44M 58mm F2 - If you can find one cheap grab it.
