What DSLR body do you use with your MF lenses?

[hk300]

Some DSLR can more easy use MF lenses than other DSLR systems.
I am interested in finding out what our MFL members are using.

If you have more than 1 DSLR, please specify all.

I am using film for wide angle shoots and landscapes.
In any other case I use Olympus E-1

[Screamin Scott]

I use a Nikon D70s (still, can't afford to upgrade yet)

[Gurdie]

I´m using a Nikon D200. I like wideangles, so my plan is upgrade to D700 when their prices start to drop.

Pentax...but of course

Functioning aperture pins and built-in stabilization ftw!

Interesting that Pentax is in second place. I did not expect that.
The Enthusiasts here are not reflecting the popular market sales.
Early days I'm sure.
IMHO Pentax may have limited choice of MF lens makes but it works best with the most popular M42 one and also has some great MF K mount lenses to pick from. I use both my K10 and K100 with M42, K-M, and Tamron Adaptal with the K-M and K-A mount. No focus problems (Focus confirmation all lenses, no exposure problems both my cameras seem to meter MF lenses spot on using the stop down method (Auto if wanted with Tamron KA) SR with adjustments for all Manual lens FLs. Auto aperture with K-M mount manual lenses. The K mount was designed to be able to fit M42 scew lenses so no problems with fitting, infinity focus, security of mount.
No problem with crop factor I have 10mm lens which is wider than any I have ever owned in the past. I'm still very happy with crop factor I even find the K10D finder as good (But is smaller) than any I have used in the past. I own and use a Pentax ME Super which has one of the best viewfinders on an SLR, I can focus the K10D as quick.
No one camera is better than an another unless there is a specific task/job you want it to do or a certain make of lens you must have.
The important thing is how the camera handles for you. No time to play with or fight the camera when you want to take photos!

Hello!

I use a Pentax K10D at the moment. Used to have a Sony A100...

[no-X]

Sigma SD14

I have 2 AF lenses (8/4 fish-eye and 17-70) and I'm going to buy 3rd (10-20) to replace these two.

I have 30 MF lenses, but I can't say how many of them will be replaced by other ones

Nikon D3

[hk300]

I was expecting some more Minolta/Sony users?

[gaman]

Pentax K20D, I would like to see an EVIL (electronic viewfinder interchangeable lens) from Pentax as soon as possible.

Sd14 more and more but also an E1 for portraits and an E520 for longer stuff. For landscapes and when I need a wide angle then it's medium or large format FILM. Oh and film for my old cameras... and those digital lens thingies.....

[dnas]

I cannot answer that, because I use more than one type!!!

(e.g. I cannot choose more than one!!)

[Attila]

Unfortunately built in poll system not allow multiply selection , so please send them here.

[Gerrit]

I am a little bit foolish.
I have sony alpha 100
olympus e500
olympus e510
canon 300d
canon 300d converted to minolta md
pentax k100d super.

Exept the e500 i all bought them second hand. I must have a lot of luck.
All second hand cameras worked fine and were in a good little used condition.

I mainly use an EOS 5D but am also using a 20D at the moment for my Pentax-K lenses (until the butchery starts).
