Lens For Redrock

[Loren Simons]

I'm About to purchase a redrock, and i was curious what lense mount i shoul dpurchase....i have this lense: http://spokane.craigslist.org/ele/560874406.html this is the only pic i could find of it, not my post fyi. I somehow didnt think this would work well, so i guess im back at point a. What lense should i buy, and what lesne mount!

I would get a Nikon 50mm to start, and gradually get a 35mm Nikon then a 85mm Nikon.

you know i was looking at thattt...think i may just do thattt =D

hmm, why don't you guys ever like wider lens like 25mm?

Wider lenses can vignette sometimes on adapters like the redrock. Also wider lenses tend to have slower apertures. Ive got a 28mm and its F2.8 which is often too dark to use without afew redheads.... Wide lenses can also distort the image into a semi fisheye or goldfish bowl effect.

has anyone used this, one guy said he got vinnette on it with the Redrock...p.s. using canon a1 if that helps.

You can get a 50mm 1.4 used much cheaper... Look at keh.com or ebay. That 50/1.8 D AF has a bunch of bells and whistles that you will not be using, so why pay for them? The old Ai and AiS lenses from Nikon have a more solid construction (in general) and will work just fine with your adapter.

bringing the old thread back! Ok, so with my redrock(used) comes a canon FD mount, an i best off buying a canon fd lense? or trading it and getting a nikon? I'm very limited on money, thanks!

You can get a 35mm and a 50mm, or a 28mm and 50mm for around $100. More specifically, as of this posting, you'll find a 35mm f/2 and a 50mm f/1.8 that would work within a total budget of $100.

Will this lense work on the Canon FD Mount?

Sorry, hate to do it but it's one of my biggest pet peeves: Please at least spell "lens" correctly. If you ever want to go pro you'll need to have that one sorted out.

Now back to the subject at hand....

That's an FL mount. Look for FD mounts.

Check out ebay, there's a bunch of decent FD lenses on there.

Ok, so i've found some nice canons and nikons, so now my question is. should i just keep the Canon FD mount that will come with my redrock of trade it for a Nikon mount. Thanks for all your opinions:thumbsup:
