I've always wanted to check out old lenses since mirror-less camera manufactureres started releasing lens adapters and adding features such as focus peaking, electronic viewfinders.

They offer a budget friendly option to native mount lenses and provide exceptional image quality as long as their optics are well kept.

Today, I decided to venture into the world of legacy lenses and thanks to an associate of mine, i've managed to check out these lenses:
1. Tamron Adaptall SP 17mm f/3.5
2. Fujian 35mm f/1.7
3. Carl Zeiss Biotar 58mm f/2.0
4. Helios 44-2 58mm f/2.0
5. Minolta MC Rokkor f/1.2
6. Jupiter 9 85mm f/2.0
7. Pentax Super-Multi-Coated-Takumar 135mm f/3.5
Feel free to leave a comment down below to let me know your thoughts about how these lenses performed VS the APSC 10-18mm (wide shots) and Sony FE Distagon 35mm f1.4(B-rolls) which i used to shoot the rest of the footage.
