Retro Lenses

Many retro or vintage lenses are available which are high quality and value. Yes, you will have to use manual focus and aperture adjust, but this can have its advantages. For example, you can chose where to focus in the field of view, and being more hands on with the lese can be a good training tool to increase your skills. These lenses are also cheaper, and particularly with lesser known brans you can experiment with them at minimal cost. The good thing about it is you can have todays technology, such as digital camera setting and saving to SD card, with the look and feel of the classic. This is a good blend of old and new, a hybrid approach, for those who are resourceful and like to engage with the manual work of their craft.
