Recommended full frame platform for adapting vintage glass?
Thanks for the reply—can you say more? The sensor stack matters for M-mount lenses, but isn’t an issue for the 50mm I have. My other lenses are SLR. From what I have read, it seems like the focus assist on the Nikon requires electronic adapters (I would need three different sets of Z-mount adapters), and/or is variable in how well/which focus assist works for a particular adapter/lens combo.
Am I wrong? What else should I be considering, given my particular use case (which is certainly not typical)?
