[QUOTE="nzswift, post: 407529, member: 9707"] As you have worked out your 610 can use almost any MF lens from the late 70's. All I have work wonderfully... Many have (especially the AIS versions} the same optical formula as their AF equivalents. Primes are meant do one focal length well and many of the iconic photos of all times (Afghan girl and Brother Wolf) were taken with these lenses. The macro lenses are fabulous and I've never figured why the heck you need AF with such a small DOF. The ability to use my "old" lens collection on a FX digital body was the reason I joined the revolution in 2012. Try to buy the faster versions of the focal length your after and you won't be disappointed.... If you search a thread on here about MF lens usage you'll find some amazing photos from a 50mm F1.2 AIS lens [/QUOTE]
