indeed i thought this also

Well here's the thing, older lenses (aka. analog lenses) often work worse on new digital slrs. The F.Stop gets messed up when I use any of my dad's analog lenses (which are exceptionally good ones). I can't remember the exact reasoning, but I looked it up before. Your F.Stop gets multiplied or something.

Finally, i can use them but only in the manual mode. The pictures are sooo much dark thought when i take em

Any tips ?

can't edit, noticed i had to lower shutter speed when low light and higher shuttter speed in high light, took a p icture of my dog with my 105mm. there is that stupid cap on the lens that i can't remove, i'll take a pic of what i talk if you want.

May doggie He's name is oreo

I know, the subject s hould'nt take the whole image but the dog is scared of the camera and he tried to hide under me lol

Some of those lenses have issues with the sensor sizes which can produce harsh dark spots around the edges. I have never had an issue with mine though. To be honest I prefer using the older lenses that I have. They are easily better than the kit lenses that came with my camera. I have a 50mm F/1.4, 28mm F/2.8 Wide, and 70mm-200mm F/3.5 (Don't really use this one much). Older lenses also tend to be a little more durable, being made out of mostly metal rather than plastics ya know...

Those sound nice and I know what you mean by that they are more durable My dads lenses weigh about 3times as much as my two lenses. For instance, his 30-70mm (i think) weighs more than my 18-135mm. I find that rather funny.

@powned

Aww what a cute dog Feel free to give me that 52mm UV btw ;D I need to get one asap before I ruin my new lens ><''

Can't its on my 35MM didn't have a chance to take landscape pictures yet, but i'm sure they will be nice, probly gonna buy a tripod.. i heard thats a good investement

Oh god yes D; Imo a tripod is WAY more important to buy before extra other gear. I use a tripod as soon as it's applicable and it's incredibly helpful for low-light shots.

yeaah go mad with new lenses !
