From my older Nikon system I still have a bunch of legacy prime lenses: AF-D 24mm f/2.8, AF-S 35mm f/1.8, AF-D 50mm f/1.8 (the latest model I think), AF-D 85mm f/1.8, AF-N 180mm f/2.8.
I already have a Nikon F to Sony E adapter, plus some extension tubes; in a few days I'll have another adapter with tilting capability. The basic idea is to keep a couple of those lenses for use in creative ways, including macro (with the extension tubes) and tilt (with the adapter); and sell the others. At the moment the idea is to keep the 24mm and the 50mm. But I wonder whether this is, IQ-wise (not only sharpness-oriented, but also bokeh-oriented), the best solution. Or whether there are inexpensive legacy primes of other brands that would be better than the items in my current "legacy" collection.
Ideas?
