I'm interested in getting a fun little MF lens. I figure I can use it for my 5D Mark II video recording mode too. Looking to spend at most ~$100.
Anyways, I don't know too much about non-digital era cameras and equipment, so I was hoping the gurus here at POTN could help me out.
Here are the contenders:
1. Asahi Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4 (M42) - One of the several versions, not sure.
2. Asahi Takumar 50mm f/1.8
3. Zeiss Planar 50mm f/1.7 (C/Y) - Will this hit the mirror?
4. Olympus Zuiko 50mm f/1.8
5. X - your suggestions for other well-regarded lenses.
