Hi everyone,

I have a Letus35 FE for my HVX and finally got a chance to play with it but still in need of a Nikon 85mm lens and have a question. Everyone prefers to use manual lens with the 35mm Lens Adapter because it's cheaper. However, I also have a Nikon D70s still camera. So, I'm thinking about getting an Nikon AF lens so can use it for both. What is your opinion on that regarding the quality? Do you think manual lens produce better picture or is it the same with AF lens (assuming the AF lens can change the aperture? Please advise. Thank you!

bump!
 
I'm not completely sure about the lens and the quality of the glass. (I can only assume its the same) but I read a post that some people were using an AF lens and they have to have their digital camera on set, pop the lens in and change the f-stop then pop it back to the Adapter. Doable but cumbersome. not sure if all the AF lenses work this way.
