    Wide angle lens for DX

    I was looking at Tokina AT-X 14-20 f/2 PRO DX in Hong Kong, didn't take the bite, but somewhat regretful now as the price was good. There is still the older Tokina 12-24 DX and DX II. The 11-16 has DX and DX II as well. And there is an older Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM. I've used the...

    Nikon Singapore announces the D7500

    Anyone know how D7500 behaves with old Ai/AiS lenses? Seems like it is no longer supporting older lenses, but also appears to be able to meter with them. I am confused.

    Thanks to all who responded with useful information. I got what I need and will now close the thread. Please forgive the "lack of research" in raising the question.

    A non-Canon DSLR user - Legacy Lenses on Modern Cameras - I want to use Canon DSLR

    Thanks Pinholecam for your advise. I have opened up 2 PK mount lenses, both Ricoh Rikenon 50mm f/2 XR, one with S. The XR version will require removal of a complex aperture lever, but the XR S version I think the removal is straight forward. I think M42 needs to do something as well - IIRC...

    A non-Canon DSLR user - Legacy Lenses on Modern Cameras - I want to use Canon DSLR

    Thank you Nikonzen. You probably remember from another thread that I use a Nikon Df as well. And I am kinda frustrated to no end I cannot easily adapt other legacy brand lenses to use on a Nikon. So my thoughts turned to Canon, easily available. Or should I go the way of Pentax? OK...

    A non-Canon DSLR user - Legacy Lenses on Modern Cameras - I want to use Canon DSLR

    I do not appreciate terrible sarcastic remarks. Shame on you for not reading carefully. You said exactly what I said - Nikon has a flange distance that is not friendly to lenses of other brands... - if you know how to read, the flange distance is not friendly to lenses of other brands - means...

    A non-Canon DSLR user - Legacy Lenses on Modern Cameras - I want to use Canon DSLR

    Simple question: how flexible is the Canon EF FF and APS-C DSLR system in accepting adapter and legacy lenses, e.g. Canon FD, Minolta MD, Contax CY, Pentax PK, Olympus OM lenses? Long version: There have been a revival in the past few years with the M43 first stirring up the adapter-legacy...
