[QUOTE="BrianS, post: 363301, member: 6381"] The mirrorless full-frame cameras have made incredible advances, some days I'm tempted to get one just for the "dead-end mount" lenses that I have. Konica, Canon FD/FL, M42, Minolta MD/MC, etc. These lenses used to be "dirt-cheap"- have seen revived prices with mirrorless cameras. But for M-Mount: I just like the M9 and M Monochrom, have a thorough understanding and comfort in how they work. To the point of writing my own raw processors for them. Hard to give that up. I should probably look for a lightly used original M-E... I'm waiting for a sunny weekend for an outing with several 135/4 lenses: 1933/1937 (two) Carl Zeiss Jena, 1949 Nikon, 1947/1952 Canon, 1948 Minolta, 1954/1957 (two) J-11, and 1950s Zeiss Opton. I converted the 1937 CZJ 13.5cm F4 using a J-11 mount, use the early CZJ with an adapter. The 1947 Canon is not RF coupled- so will need a tripod.
