Re: Using old lenses... 100+ year old lenses...
Great link DrJon.
Don't know if you saw this New-body-confession post from yesterday. I wasn't sure when I posted about how far back in time you could go with lenses but it seems like ... pretty much all the way (so long as you can get an adapter). -

Slightly hazy but then again, for a 110 year old lens, pretty marvelous. I didn't know lenses were that good so long ago.Comment
