I would go with any camera that has IBIS. I have an X-T4 and I use vintage lenses with it. I have an Asahi Pentax Super Takumar 55 mm F2, I have ordered some others. The interesting thing is that I wondered whether IBIS works with it or not? So I switched the IBIS off and the image was unbelievably shaky, because in essence this is a mid zoom lens. However, when I switched IBIS on continuous, the difference was like night and day!

You probably had IBIS on "Shooting", which activates IBIS only once you have pressed the shutter (at least halfway). This mode is preferable when you want to save battery. On the other hand, "Continuous" leaves IBIS running at all times.
