Originally posted by takpix Couple of days ago I purchased 2 more TAKs. They should
arrive before the weekend. The price was reasonable, 2 lenses
for under $85.00 (1:1.8/55 and 1:4/150 excellent condition).
Now, all I have to do is find time for a test run.
Thanks for all of the info!
I will keep my present camera bodies.
I love Pentax especially old glasses but since Pentax doesn't provide digital FF camera, I went ahead and bought an used Canon 5D mark I to put my old M42 Takumars on. The differences are very noticeable, especially the DOF and FOV. My Takumars really shine on the FF. I love my Super Takumar 85/1.8 on my 5D.
While some lenses need to be modified to fit on the Canon 5D, a lot don't need to. Check that compatibility list to find out which ones. In general, lenses with focal longer than 100mm should not have any issues with Canon 5D mirror.
