Before the thread turns into a clusterfuck.

Should I get a mirror lens for the lulz? If not for the lulz, just for epic 800mm.

you should, just don't pay much for it

Good ones are like, what? $800?

I'm sure you can find one for $200-300.

Sony: Uh, cameras suck. But the aesthetics of the camera bodies and lenses are top notch. They look better than anything else.

Nikon: I'm okay with Nikon. 18-200 VR that is genuine Nikkor. Still sucks but great travel lens.

Pentax: Shit sucks, no lenses. Uh, their cameras are cheap I guess.

Olympus: Worst cameras ever. Keep thinking you make a difference. They make the Canon PowerShot G9 look good.

lolwut?

Actually I have no idea what the hell those big silver ones are. But if you're not a faggot and you can handle manual focus then there are a shit load of K mount lenses out there.

I need to stop being such a fanboy...

not to mention all the adapters you can buy for a pentax, like, idk, my bff m42?

Is sony's DSLR-A200 good?
what about the Canon D40

If you include adapters, then suddenly Olympus has the best choice of lenses ever. But most people don't care about adapters and old MF stuff.

i concur. i'm actually considering picking up an e-500 for cheap just to mount my hexanons. olympus and pentax hate is the biggest single source of contradictory bullshit on /p/ right now.

some pentax user: "hey guyz, what do you think of my penta-"
anon: "BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW FUCK YOU PENTAX FUCKING SUCKS BAWWWWWWWWWWW."

anon: hey guys check out my old m42 mount 35mm slr!!! sure, the light seals are broken and none of the shutter speeds are accurate, but think of all the lenses! it's so fuckin great!

Not the best idea. E-500 = worst viewfinder ever, even among 4/3 SLRs, so manual focusing will be a bitch unless you get a magnifier eyepiece, a katzeye focusing screen or a modchip (or better all of these at once). I missed focus in 2/3 of my shots when I first got the 40/1.8 hexanon.
Wait till the E-510 becomes cheaper, you'll have a superior viewfinder, IS, plus live view for focusing when on a tripod.

Im not going to talk about sony but:

If you want reflex get one, they have the only AF reflex lenses in the world, because minolta were fucking awesome.

newsflash, that's not the only AF mirror lens in the world

ITT, Pentax and Olympus users unite to distract others to hide their shitty ass cameras.

Today's word is misdirection.

Cancer takes years to kill you.

You might flinch at first. But great things in the long run.

wut? Besides the fag you're replying to that knows nothing though, Pentax never changed their lens mounts, and has the largest selection of available lenses.

This amount of dust doesn't mean shit for a front element of this size unless you stop down the lens to minimum. And you can't stop down a mirror lens anyway.

>Pentax never changed their lens mounts
They did change from M42 to K. They managed to retain backwards compatibility, though, unlike Canon and Minolta.

all the dust is on the outside of the front element.

rofl wut? check ebay someday, Ive gotten 50mm 1.7's, 28mm f2.8's, etc for about 25 dollars each, and they work great. bout to get a 200mm for 15 dollars. there is a shitload of old k mount stuff out there. and plenty of brand new lenses if you can't figure out how to focus manually, which judging by your post you don't.


canon: great noise performance, and I like the ergonomics, they love my hand. If I ever upgrade to real a real high end dslr it would be a canon.
