Very interesting. What advantage do you see with using these older MF lenses as opposed to a modern RF mount lens?

I have dabbled with using older, legacy lenses with an adapter and found more modern lenses to be sharper and more contrasty. But, I am not a video shooter and I understand about wanting that "vintage" look in video.

If I already had some MF lenses, I would certainly want to give this a go....but I don't have any and they are a bit expensive.

The reason is obvious, :-), because it’s fun and it slows me down.

I’m a photographer and find that exploiting modern software, eg PureRAW 2 and/or Topaz Photo AI, I can get pretty good results.

I have 35mm, 45mm and 150mm Mamiya lenses, but tend not to use the 35mm, as my copy exhibits poor IQ at the edges, especially on the left side.

As you will see from my blog, I get enjoyment from the technical side of photography, so gadgets are fun
