I have a question for others who use vintage lenses.
I bought a little package off ebay (old film camera, aus jena 50mm, bushnell 28mm, and vivitar 85-205) for around $60.
They're all older lenses, and M42 mount. I got an adapter and have been using them, etc.
My question -
Do all vintage lenses have that kind of "soft, dream like" look to them? I feel as though I can't get super sharp with the lenses. For example, when I go from them to a Canon 50mm f/1.8 I feel as though the Canon is extremely sharp in comparison. Is it just the ones I got, or are all older lenses like this?
