I have the Cosina and can attest to it being a good lens, slghtly soft wide open, good stopped down one or two stops, and works well on digital and film.

Works fine for me. I found the Nikons a little clunky. Of course, neither brand is upthere with Pentax on handling : )smc wrote:
Canon would get my vote: you can use M42 and almost all K mount glass. I suspect the 7D may also be at the same level as the Nikons for low light performance. Otherwise, I think from limited experience Canon handling is better than Nikon.

The DA40/2.8 works quite well on film.

Nikon higher end bodies can also meter with my Adaptall 2 lenses which Canon is unable to do (as I understand it) due to the mount change a few years back.
Saying that if Canon can get the same low light performance as the D300 with a 18MP sensor then I can see real panick in the Nikon camp.
A 1.6 18MP crop sensor with 8fps will make a excellent wildlife/sports camera "IF" the all new autofocus system performs as they say it will.
I think all Canons meter fine in aperture priority and manual. AF confirmation works if you get the adaptors with the AF module. K mount, M42, all old Nikon (!), Leica R mount and the Adaptall equivalents etc. Canon FF bodies might cause some issues with lenses with deep rear elements.smc wrote:

We'll see about the new AF system, but not really the point if mounting old glass.

Even the Panagor holds up well.

I susuect Pentax will surpise us in a few months. They clearly still CURRENTLY have the capability to produce interesting products.

Sigma make a good and relatively compact 28/1.8 - the old manual focus version. Probably relatively cheaper and full frame to boot.

If there is a fully compatible adaptor to use K mount lenses, then I would be happy.
