As far as 610, all you have to do modify the aperture ring to make it clear the aperture lever on the body side mount. I did that for my 55/1.2 and works just fine. It DOES take precision handiwork though.Out of the newer glass, perhaps only the pro lenses can match that glorious, rock-solid feel of the oldies but nothing will ever feel the same as the old metal, scalloped focus rings. There's also little to nothing that can wear and tear unlike the new gimmicky lenses.</blockquote>
