Hey all,
I currently have a GF1, the 14-45 kit lens, and a 30mm Sigma 2.8. I've been reading this thread, and others, and am intrigued by the idea of legacy lenses. I'm happy with what I've got, but if I could get a macro lens and a long lens for cheap, then I'd be even happier. (I definitely don't have the budget to do it with native m4/3 lenses)
So, can anybody give me any pointers on what to look out for, please? Especially what NOT to get. I'd prefer to keep it simple, so one mount adaptor if possible, and a cheap one at that. I assume it'd have to be manual focus, but will I be able to set aperture on the camera, or will that be on the lens too? I've been looking on eBay, seen a lot of stuff in the £20-£40 range, but the sheer number of variables is overwhelming.
Thanks in advance!
