I would suggest Minolta MC Rokkor 55mm F1.7 It could be had  below 50usd in very good condition. It is light, a bit soft but pleasently imperfect. Phillip Reeve did a good revew some tome ago. It ...

Hi, If I undersrand correctly, your main limitation is the max payload of the gimbal, so the lens needs to be under 375g. I believe the first thing is to figure out what is the focal range you ...

from Marco Cavina review: http://www.marcocavina.com/articoli_fotografici/Leitz_Summicron-R_50mm/00_pag.htm

The big questions are whether you need AF or not and if weight and size are of big importance. Most of the better old designs are MF and heavy. You have the old minolta 70-200 f3.5, Tamron 19AH, 4A ...

Which version of Summicron-R do you have? I found my current copy (ii version, Canada, 297xxxx range) to be largely the best 50mm I ever tried. However, i do remember testing one a couple of years ...

Disclamer: I admit to suffer from GAS ( relatively mild at this stage) After a couple of P&S cameras, my first SLR camera was a Nikon F60 which I used a lot to shoot concerts with. I soon realized ...

Thi seems to be the same solution as Leitax - so you can check your specific lens versions on internet, Nicon Leica Feedback page on Leitax site already has some photos of converted gear.

Not sure which GOBE adaptor you are talking about. The most common way to adapt R-Glass on F-mount body is a reversible bayonet replacement. Have you checked the Leitax site? it gives you very ...

the Vivitar/Cosina 24mm F2.8 Macro is pretty good and dirt cheap  -sub 50 USD

Hi, I tried both and did not find any visible differences on 24mp APS-C. Where do you find 103A better?

Actually, there is a nice review of this lens on Sony Body on Phillip Reeve's Web site.

Tried with a focal reducer, whicj is the best proxy I have - looks decent from 4.5

All of the above will work on FF, however I have not tested the performance. As APSC-C has smaller surface, it is less sensitive to the corner performance, which is generally a weak point on most ...

I was using legacy MF long glass for a long time on Sony APS-C bodies - mostly in Minolta MD mount with K&F adaptor. The biggest challenge was to find the best comromise between IQ, weight and ...

I ll second that On Sony APS-C, both Summicrons-R 2nd version 50mm and 90mm

Hi Tom, Do you know if your Jupiter-11 (and other lenses, if you used Soviet ones) were adjusted (shimmed) for standard Leica bodies. Jupiter (former ZEISS) glass in most cases needs a slight ...

You are speaking re M43 adapter. Personally, I would not recommend Pixco - I bought a direct M39 to E-mount adapter and it had an incorrect infinity focus. Not sure about Fuji, which i believe was ...

For landscapes - you do not have a huge choice because of the crop factor. And the good legacy wide angle lenses are relatively expensive. However, you can have a used Sigma 19mm f2.8 for below ...
