Nice one again!
Must get some of mine out and post them!
LUMIX G1
lurks in background...
Welcome G!
S'pose 4/3 would be ok too!
(well, we can get an adapter to use the lenses on our M4/3)!
You would. My favourite legacy lens at the moment is the OM fit 50mm 1.8, with an ebay £6 adapter, I can get super sharp images for less moola!what i like about my micro 4/3 is the absence of the mirror and the quietness of the shutter
its a cool little body but how people then want to blow it all away with adaptors and 4/3 standard lenses...sort of escapes me
if i did that though i would have a better selection of prime lenses?
This is exactly what I've just done. µ43 pancakes on my E-P5 for when slimness and lightness is required, a couple of longer digital lenses for more reach, and now a selection of film lenses for when I really want to suck in some light.what i like about my micro 4/3 is the absence of the mirror and the quietness of the shutter

Yeh, but legacy lenses are much cheaper! AND you can get your primes.drool...i promised myself when i took up photography again ...one lens only

I'm one of the people you don't understand as I've mostly been using old manual lenses on my MFT cameras for a few reasons...
1. They're cheap I'm lucky enough in that I'm comfortable and I can afford any thing I want but I get a kick out of using cheap gear
2. They're... just... lovely I think that manual prime lenses just look gorgeous, well, some of them do to me
3. Old manual lenses have end stops and markings and I find them a joy to use whereas personally I think that no end stop and no marking FBW lenses are soulless joyless things and to be honest when I use them I don't really enjoy the experience.
Yes, an adapter adds bulk and a little weight too but my Panasonic G1 when fitted with an adapter and a 28 or 50mm lens is still a very significant bulk and weight saving over my now sold 5D no matter what it's fitted with.
Manual lenses and adapters are just a different way of doing things and in fact I now use them on my Sony A7
Random pictures taken with old manual lenses...
Yes, 5 of them are Redcar, Marske or Saltburn

well most of my 'profitable' shots are at 14mm (28@35mm) and i can crop them a bit
so i would be looking for a prime around that area
one which connects fully with my G1
auto focus and exposure...what else is there?..well exposure lock i guess
I like that one!Karl Striker Street art taken today - 20mm

Nice autumnal flavour to that one G!
Nice one again Marcus!
Looking forward to seeing them matey
Gutted. Was hoping for another new film camera pic...
That's pretty cool. I can feel the pull of M43 getting stronger. Does it work with all m43 lenses?
Dunno, be a bummer if it doesn't!That's pretty cool. I can feel the pull of M43 getting stronger. Does it work with all m43 lenses?
