So basically i have been shooting film for fun as a hobby with my point and shoots and slr's, but i have always wanted to switch to digital. I have been collecting/using my lens and i now have some pentax k lenses and an m42 lens. I really want to try to adapt them to an old digital slr , but im just not sure what old ccd sensor dslr i should get. My budget is under £60 for a cam body (i know, tight) and like £15 max for an pentax k adapter, any suggestions for what i should buy? I was thinking cannon, like a 350d or 40d . Maybe a nikon but i heard they are bad at adapting vintage lenses for some reason? At the end of the day im looking for something that will adapt my pk lenses well, and let me shoot when im going out somewhere or on holiday. I dont mind if it has a cf card but if theres an sd card that would be way better. Oh, and for anyone who suggests micro 4/3's , thanks but i want to keep my focal lengths intact.
I assume all dslr's will have the same manual focusing systems from the time but if you could recommed an dslr with split prism focusing (if they even have that?) That would be like a godsend. I plan to do more zone focusing but only one of my lens' has the markings and im still tryna improve on quickly focussing.
Oh, also if you guys could give me help on decent adapters because im worried i will buy something cheap that will strip or not focus properly.
Sorry if what i wrote is indespiherable , but if it is, i really would apprecuate any help.
