Future proof your lenses...buy Nikon glass

[eco_bach]

Interesting if somewhat controversial article by Caleb Pike.
He suggest buying Nikon glass for your Canons, because of the greater versatility of Nikon glass( Nikon glass will go on your Canon but not vice versa) and also because of the manual aperture ring found on many Nikon lenses.

Ok, assuming this is good advice, any recommendations for a Nikon 35mm1.4L equivalent?

I would say that screw mount is even more versatile. I am thinking about getting m42 mount zeiss primes, because they are fully manual and that's the most universal mount there is.

No, I talking about new zeiss primes.

This is old advice, and discussed at great length here on the forum already. Nothing controversial about it at all, in fact many Canon video shooters have been using vintage Nikon lenses from day 1.

There's even a sticky in the lens section called "the vintage lens thread": http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?201760-The-Vintage-Lens-Thread

I'm going to close this thread for the sake of keeping discussion organized.
