[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 492916, member: 10742"] I'm gonna add on to the above post... and even recommend the older non-AI lenses...the 50mm 1.2, and the 55mm 1.2... They're incredibly inexpensive... mint examples are in the $220 range on eBay... They won't meter correctly on current bodies, but there's a gentleman in Ann Arbor MI at aiconversions.com that converts these lenses to AI for $25 +$8 shipping... AI lenses for 1.2s are $400+ non-ai are $220 + the cost of conversion... The older non-AI and AI lenses are a joy to hold. If you haven't experienced an all metal/glass lens... you're missing life... :o Okay!! That's a bit of hyperbole, but they really are great... [/QUOTE]
