So...some decade and a half back I bought a Bessa-R 35mm rangefinder, and three Leica thread mount lenses; the 35mm f/1.7, 50mm f/1.5, and the 75mm f/2.5. All are pretty high-quality and small lenses capable of full-frame coverage. I'm wondering what might be the better camera choices for putting these three lenses to work?
I'm wondering because of the new Metabones "speed" adapter, which increases effective f/stop by one full stop! And which shortens focal length by a factor of 0.71x.
So what should I buy? I am thinking the Metabones adapter is $429 or so if that is needed, but maybe I do not want or need that. I do not "need" to use a Metabones adapter if the camera is the right one.
Sony Nex3? Fuji X-something or other? Olympus OM-D? Panasonic something or other? Any thoughts?
