Not on TP (yet) I queried someone's use of a 'vintage lens' they were using on a Sony A9
It seemed to me like they'd bought a BMW M3 and swapped the engine for one from a 1.0l Allegro from the 70s, and I couldn't understand why
I reasoned that taking a great shot on a great modern lens gave you the option to add a preset, or create one, and get the 'look' of an older s***ty lens whereas doing it the other way around you couldn't change your mind on the quality you were after
Seems that upset them greatly - oops
So to you more reasoned lot here - why would you put a relatively poor (but cheap, I like cheap) lens on an modern awesome (usually expensive) camera, rather than using a great modern lens and keeping the option to make it look crap or not later?
