>Absolutely based recommendation. If you want to shoot vintage telephoto pentax is definitely best. I've talked to Eggy on his thread and I keep marveling at some of the things they offer, it's really a brand where the designs are made with adaptation in mind. You get stuff like the option to enter the focal length so that the shake reduction is fine tuned and so is the shutter speed range. Pretty awesome brand. Also pic related, the teleconverter I was talking about. You can put an M42 adapter on it and get AF in M42 lenses, it's incredible.
>Don't blindly follow speed. Speed is really not the most important aspect of the lens. Sometimes slower lens can give you better result, so watch out for your reserach.>This is especially important if you are going bokeh whore. Some 50 f1.4 have absolutely hideous bokeh.Good advice.
>Pic related is zeiss pancolar 50 1.8, which is famous for having smooth boker, saturated color, and radioactive glass.How radioactive are radioactive lenses? Is it a health concern? I guess one should be careful about handling them inside, you don't want to breathe alpha or beta particles. I hope gamma emission isn't common.
Have you ever had them shipped internationally? It wouldn't surprise me if they made the scanners get a bit crazy.
