<Mutley snigger> When my K50 1.2 is finished, I will be able to mount it on my D60, and it will be fully useable (in stop-down metering) with manual and aperture- priority modes. A very nice man is going to machine an adapter to my design and I am going to bolt it onto the back of the lens. It's a superb lens, it has manual focus and will be effectively an 80mm 1.2 lens. The Canon 85 f1.8 is okay optically, but has a horrible plastic feel and the manual focus is sheeeeeee-yite. It's my one Canon lens, and I'm not keen on it. I considered a Canon 50mm 1.8, but I hate the feel of it. That's why I'm adapting a Pentax lens. In fact all my other lenses are either Sigma or Tokina. If I could afford the EF 'L' lenses, I would be a lot happier, but they are VERY expensive. In this respect Heiko is spot-on. Switching brands may be vfine once you've got the camera, but start building up a collection of good lenses and you might find yourself breaking the bank......... More soon.
