This could probably be posted in the 35 adaptor area but since it's going to be for the A1 I'm putting it here.
I am getting ready to get one of the 35m adaptor solutions - at the moment I'm leaning towards the brevis simply because it's in canada. A flip and follow focus version is close to being available. (but I'm not married to it) I think the letus has two compatible mounts on it, brevis you have to choose.
What I was wondering was, I have a few lens sitting around from my old pentax K1000 days and am completely newbie on if they would be worth using or if they'd even be compatible.
the lens are as follows: (they all mount on the pentax body)
tamron 28mm 1:2.5
vivitar 70-210 45-5.6
smc pentax-A 50mm 1:2 (i've read up on this and is considered run of the mill)
filters:
rotating polarized (blacks) and 2 skylight 1As (hakuba and image)
I'm also unsure which mount you'd need to choose to be compatible with these.
Most people seem to be going for the nikon set if starting from scratch, and the nikon 50mm was a standard for hitchcock (my personal favorite) but I'm almost positive my existing won't be compatible with that. I'm also green on how much budget needs to be set aside to even purchase a new set of lens if my existing aren't worth it.
Any light shedding would be great.
