Until a couple of months ago legacy lenses were all I was using on the Sony body. My favs: Nikon 55mm f/3.5 Micro AI: inexpensive, relatively light weight, quite good performance. I haven't tested it against the Leica R 60 Macro but the light weight and low worry in case of loss or damage make it my casual carry-everywhere lens. Canon FD 500mm f/4.5 L: Inexpensive and relatively light weight for a high-quality long lens. It requires some correction for lateral chromatic aberration but C1 does this automatically. Its highlight separation and color quality aren't as good as a Leica APO lens but most of the time its good enough, especially considering its affordability. Leica 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R: for no-compromise mind-boggling image quality. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com http://doug-herr.fineartamerica.com
