Originally posted by kittykat46 Most of the manual stuff I have I got "low-priced" from E-Bay.
They worked on the K100D, still OK on the K-7.
After seeing the K-5 resolution, I'm afraid I'm going to have to retire almost all of them.
Those who have VERY good old manual lenses could still cut it on the K-5.
For most of the average "OK" lenses, it will not be worth the effort on the K-5.
+1 to this...
I'll definitely be junking all the manual focus lenses that I have eventually... shot with the few that I have and they just cannot make it in both resolution and contrast... With AF now a quantum leap ahead in Pentax terms, there's just little reason to play with old manual focus lenses, and I'm not getting any younger. I'm not the sentimental type, if something is outmoded, it's just time to let it go...
