So I've discovered manual lenses. I've done some searching on big_is vs happypageHK vs Leitax, and all the threads seem to be quite old. It looks like happypageHK isn't on eBay anymore, and Leitax..... well, okay, $90 seems like a lot for an adapter. I understand Fotodiox is not very good? At least the old threads appeared to imply that.
Here's my lens setup:
- Distagon 28/2.8 to be mounted on a 6D
- Vario-Sonnar 3.4/35-70 to be mounted on a 550D
- Planar 50/1.7 which already has a big_is adapter mounted on the 6D
I need to buy adapters for the Distagon and the Vario-Sonnar. My big_is one seems decent, though it doesn't focus at infinity (the sharpest is just before). I guess the thickness must be slightly off?
Should I get another brand, or should I just stick to the devil I know? I know Leitax is the best, but as above, I am hesitating to spend $90 per lens, since I'd need at least two, or maybe three of them for the three lenses...
Thanks for any opinions!
