I have always had a soft spot for manual lenses, so I finally decided to purchase some (and to not tell the wife about it).
I got these off of ebay and already received a few and some are still sailing the seven seas:
Kiron 28 mm f/2
Pentax Super Takumar 35 mm f/2
Konica Hexanon 40 mm f/1.8
Minolta MD Rokkor 45 mm f/2
Rikoh Rikenon XR 55 mm f/1.2
Konica Hexanon 57 mm f/1.4
Tamron SP 90 mm f/2.5 Macro
Cambron MC 135 mm f/2.8
Pentacon 135 mm f/2.8 (15 blades version)
Can't wait to test all of these! So far I have only shot with the 45 mm Minolta and I really like it. Focusing on E-M5 is surprisingly easy with the art filter focus peaking trick.
But the question is: What else cool is out there? Nothing too expensive, but fun, special and useful at least in some way. I'm especially interested in something 300 mmish, but I welcome all hints.
