The benefits (or otherwise) of legacy and adapted lenses for Mirrorless Cameras. Part 1 – m4/3.

I’m currently in possession of three different format sensor camera systems and a selection of Nikon and Voigtlander lenses plus three Metabones ‘passive’ adapters and two Speed Boosters. As ever I’m looking to ‘rationalise’ what I have, to avoid duplication and to decide exactly what fits with how I work and the best quality / price / ease of use equation I can manage to get from the least amount of kit………………..I’ve decided the have a look at what lenses work best with each format – m4/3, APS-C (Fuji X) and 35mm / ‘Full Frame’ (Sony A7r)…..also looking to see which lenses give the most options and which are the most useful. At the same time I’ll be sharing some thoughts about how the native system lenses compare with the legacy / adapted lenses I have and what advantage each would have over the other. I’ll also be writing about how I see the lenses I have owned but have sold fit into this.

Part 1 – m4/3 – http://soundimageplus.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/the-benefits-or-otherwise-of-legacy-and.html

Parts 2 & 3 APS-S (Fuji X) and ‘Full-Frame’ Sony A7r to follow.
