Top 5 Reasons To Adapt Vintage Lenses

Today I'm going to share the top 5 reasons I choose to shoot adapted vintage lenses on my mirrorless camera. One of the primary reasons I started this channel was to simply show folks that adapting lenses was possible. The majority of my friends and family didn't know these old "film" lenses could be used. When I'm out shooting I've had many people approach me and ask about my adapted Sony a6000. I'm always happy to explain to them the reasons I shoot adapted lenses. Well today I'm going to share those reason with you:)

Cost
I've been able to acquired some quality vintage glass for fractions of what is charged for modern lenses.

Build Quality
They don't make 'em like they used to, these old beauties were built to last! I guess that's why so many are still around today:)

Authentic Retro Looks
So many cameras companies these days are trying to recreate the retro good looks these lenses were naturally born with.

Universal mount
With the dawn of adapters we have become camera mount independent:) Vintage lenses adapt particularly well because focusing and aperture can be controlled on the lens, without the need of electronics.

Teacher
No electronics means no program mode, which means you've enrolled in photography 101 class. Be prepared for some hands on tutoring, curtesy of your vintage lens:)
