[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 112576, member: 12855"] Been noticing that some fairly decent, for what they are, lenses of couple decades back are going fairly cheap these days and kinda make me want to experiment a bit. They're usually full manual (or will be in my case), but that's hardly a factor for me. They're built very, very well since some of these used to be quite fancy back in the days. And these days, they are inexpensive. Looking through reviews on some, people say mostly good things too. My main prey are the 70s-80s Nikkors, Sigmas, and Tamrons. f2 or 2.8, since that still beats the 4 or even 4.5 in the same focal length on my 18-55, and for indoor and lower light stuff that's a pretty substantial gap, right? All that said, any particular recommendations? [/QUOTE]
