I received an interesting comment when I posted about my wife’s new Nikon D60 camera back on Aug 10. Reader slacy suggested I get a really fast lens like a 50mm f1.4. I did some research and looked at an f1.4 and an f1.8 (much cheaper) but haven’t taken the plunge yet.
Lo and behold I opened up the New York Times recently and found an article about a burgeoning market for “old-school” camera lenses, meant for SLRs, being re-purposed for new DSLRs.
Mileage will vary, as various camera bodies fit various lens manufacturers, and you need the right adapter. If you don;t mind focusing yourself, which apparently gets you back into a more visceral photo process, then this may be the ticket.
