Yeah I wasn't thinking about the f number at all, the auto mode gods gave me a 2.not a bad shot! what would you like to improve?
@f2 you are giving up a lot of clarity for a fast shutter speed
if you are hand holding i can dig it man, but if you are shooting off a tripod i would stop down to f8 and maybe even f16
An EF - FE adapter costs almost as much as those Samyang lenses like the 12mm.
Good tip thanks.Only if you need an adapter who translates the autofocus. Not really necessary for plants. Non-AF adapters are available for a few bucks.
Check out kentfaith.com for cheap adapters.
EU prices seem closer to 200 EUR, even more from stores, add shipping and it's not far off from the Samyang 14mm 1.8 that is on sale for 300 EUR. Which is also manual btw so I guess the question is which has the better optics. And Samyang 24/2.8 autofocus would be even cheaper, 230 EUR.I use some Canon FD lenses with a cheap adapter. You can get the FD 24/2.8 and 35/2.8 for under $100. They are great manual lenses. Check out their reviews on Youtube.
There are some more expensive versions, but also cheaper ones that aren‘t any less in quality, see photo.Good tip thanks.

Those are some sweet deals, less than the rent for Sony gear from the local shop (85 EUR)!There are some more expensive versions, but also cheaper ones that aren‘t any less in quality, see photo.
You can also get a Vivitar or Tokina lens for only 50€. Or a Yashica Contax mount lens.
Well, you have to check the description and the photos thoroughly. Ask questions when in doubt. If you have any doubts, don’t buy. I bought a lot of used lenses online and most of them were good.Those are some sweet deals, less than the rent for Sony gear from the local shop (85 EUR)!
Is it safe to buy this kind of used lens online, are they often scratched or have something else to worry about?
Nice, seems like they do have the models for a bunch of adapters to Sony FE.Or you can just print/order print of the adapters in the ABS.
Gonna try Pentacon 1.8/50 with MFT setup in some time M42 to MFT (M43) Micro Four Thirds Adapter by Niggemeier21 - Thingiverse Not sure about you camera, but I'm 99% sure that somebody already posted it on this site.
