Exotic lenses and vintage lenses which ones could be interesting ?
#1
We are reading a lot about vintage lenses and exotic lenses, sometimes the prices are outrageous, obviously many are a total waste of money while others might be interesting for some features.
Adapting such lenses and manual focusing has its drawbacks however some of them might be interesting for some features.
For instance Helios M42-2 58mm f2.0, has acceptable sharpness , it has a special swirly bokeh that can be interesting in some shots , I didn't mind getting one for 20$ yesterday (I already have m42 adapter)
Had fot free with it Jupiter 135mmf4.0, it has nothing special, not worth it... discarded it even for free.
Do you have any list of lenses having special characteristics that make them worth getting ?
