I posted this in the zoom vs prime lens. Looking for more info.
I'm looking to get a reflex for my canon dslr. I've got a couple options, and need your help. I can get a canon FD 500mm MF for $200. I really want to try a makinon for $50 or a lentar for $70 or a kalimar for $90. There is even a rokinon (but these could be knockoffs.) These are all f/8. How shit are the cheap ones? Also is MF too difficult with 500? I'm on APS-c. Thanks.
