How I'm Using Autofocus Adapters to Shoot Vintage Glass on Modern Mirrorless Bodies

I’ve spent years arguing that cheap modern glass beats expensive vintage glass for practical shooting. And I still believe that. But I’ve also been testing vintage lenses long enough to know that “practical” isn’t the only reason people pick up a camera. Sometimes you want the rendering. The falloff. The slightly imperfect way a 1970s 50mm draws light. The problem has always been that using vintage glass on a modern body means giving up autofocus, and giving up autofocus means missing shots.
