I was recently given a set of C/Y mount lenses (Distagon 15/3.5, Planar 85/1.2 and Distagon 35/1.4) by a *very* generous friend, and I'm looking for a digital platform worthy of this exceptional glass. The obvious choice is Canon, but I'm skeptical that any of the current Canons can do them justice. (See below for explanation.)
I don't know anything about the R mount from a technical perspective, but I'd be curious to know if it's possible to adapt the old C/Y mount to it. If it's even remotely possible, I'd be more than pleased since I can start building an R lens collection at the same time.
If it's a technical no-go, anyone have any suggestions for a proper digital platform for these lenses?
(For the record, my resistance to Canon is based on what I perceive to be mushy AA filtering at the sensor and consequent flattening of that special "dimensional" quality that makes lenses like these sing. Again, tell me I'm nuts and I'll be ordering a 5D in an instant.)
