My favorite camera + lens in use is a micro 4/3 mirrorless body with a pentax lens adapted with an off brand "speed booster" making my lens an F/1 in principle. Filling in the gap where the mirror was supposed to be is an easy problem, making it fun to repurpose lenses designed for SLRs on mirrorless cameras. There are even passive spacer adapters that just fill the flange distance. It can be an option for Pentax to design these adapters with the autofocus also working.
- sbarre 3y agoI also have a micro 4/3 camera with an adapter and a bunch of vintage (70s) Pentax lenses from the Super Takumar range (M42 screw mount). You can get them off eBay for under 100$ each in almost-new condition, and they're super fun to play with..
