You can get many nice SuperTakumar lenses with M42 mount or Zeiss and pentax with contax mount.

@groomlake67 Hi Groomlake67 ... please advice which lenses to buy (good quality for the buck)? Thanks newbee :)

@Peichen01

yes any manual lens with a coresponding adapter and a manual aperture control does not need this "fake" aperture thingy. It´s because the canon EF´s does not have manual control for apreture. So go get some nice old nikkor, olympus or pentax glass for no money and a couple of adapter rings and you are all set ;)

If you use the Rokinon, you can just get a tube adapter as the Rokinon has aperture ring on lens correct?
