Classic lenses

While there are many advantages in using modern CSC cameras, one of the drawbacks is the relative slowness in many lenses. While there are fast prime lenses available, they are often very expensive.

Focus and aperture will have to be set manually, but using M or A modes, you can get back your fast prime lens of the past, and the wonderful razor thin depth of field that goes with using a fast lens.

So, if anyone is interested,

I need a high res image
