I spent 500 bucks on a K-X and the pentax K mount> M42 adapter , then spend 200 bucks on vintage glass, best money I have ever spent on photography
Ive posted some shots in the takumar club and the soviet lenses if you want to see whats possible ( and I am in no way a pro, just an avid amateur)
yeah vintage glass is definitely the way to go
i'm really not sure about whether i'm going to stay with pentax or jump over to a canon 5d- so I don't want to invest heavily in k mount glass so i buy pentax m lenses, if I stick with pentax i'll get the 50-135, the 16-50 and a few ltd's and still use the m's for fun
hell maybe i'd mount the m's on the 5d
investing in 'fast glass' is not so much of an issue anymore (as I said earlier), but sharp glass is worth the investment
