>>3778523And few things more, because I shoot on dslr and moved to mirrorless: some glass will handle pretty badly on mirrorless, due to extra lenght of adapter. Basically 135 will be awkward to use and 200+ will be really fucking awkward. Plus vintage glass usually is rather metallic, so telephoto will be really front heavy,
On dslr adapters are shoorter, bodies heavier and grip deeper, so it is much less of an issue.
For me personally, since I shoot crop 50mm is telephoto enough for me, so it's less of an issue.
However, dslrs miss on things like helicod adapter, drop in nd filters, tilt shift adapter and speedboosters. Speedboosters and nd are popular among video crowd, not so much photographic, so how much of an issue it is depends on you.
>>3779203>When people ask for camera recs under 500 bucks my go-to options are 60D, 70D, K-S2 and K-70. Pentax is best if video isn't a concern because of SR and that magic teleconverter that adds AF to manual lenses.Absolutely based recommendation. If you want to shoot vintage telephoto pentax is definitely best.
Also another point about vintage glass:
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. Pic related is zeiss pancolar 50 1.8, which is famous for having smooth boker, saturated color, and radioactive glass.
