Yeah, I'll use adapters (air only, no glass) on my manual focus vintage glass out of necessity, otherwise, not so much. One of the fun things I discovered during the pandemic is some really great vintage glass. (Super Takumars / Pentacon / Yashinon / Helios)

The manual focus forces me to slow down and think more about what I am doing. I also got into buying nasty lenses with fungus cheap, tearing them apart and restoring them to as new condition.

The character of the photo's taken with these lenses is astounding and can also inspire my creative side, which is difficult.





Very cool cleaning the glass up!!!


I was shooting 1Ds3 and 1Dx, and there was a need to upgrade, so making the jump made sense on our end. My wife was also tired of every camera being a brute heavyweight. By the time Canon rolls out a R1, they should be another leap forward in technology, and if not, I won't buy it. If anything, I would pick up a second body R5 over the R3.
