The ability to use vintage lens on m43 is one feature that I never discuss. Sure, it's .possible. But so is taking a picture through a prism or without a lens?

Why are you being so hostile? Those photos are soft, but they are taken with 2x teleconverter. There are vintage lenses which are very sharp and useful and they are cheap, not everyone has tons of money. They were good for photos back then, why not now?

He’s just like that …

Haha, it’s just some good fun. Produces interesting photos. I wouldn’t use these primarily unless I specifically wanted that look. I’ve ordered the 12-100 for primary use. It’s still about a week away since I’m trading in for it so until then I’ll be playing with these old telephoto lenses.
