Hi Folks,
While I do occasionally, I'm not "way into" shooting with legacy glass. That said it occurs to me that the older cities are filled with legacy lenses. If your fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to live in an older city, visit some of the old camera shops and have a look around.
This is from a camera store in Providence, RI. I was poking around and thought I'd shoot the shelf of what they call "Minolta" lenses... Rokkor.
The prices range from $12. to around $55. Easier than poking around on eBay.
Here's a a sample from Hunts photo.
