I have a nikon d40 and have been looking into manual focus lenses because i want a vintage look to my photos. I've seen photos from a Helios 58mm f2 on a canon that produces the type of look that i want, as if they were shot with film. I do not want to get a film camera though.
Since Nikon's have a different film plane than other cameras I dont want to sacrafice quality by buying an adapter with a corrective lens in it (unless this would add to the effect).
I have been looking at non ai lenses but i was wondering if they would achieve the look that i want. photos kind of like this http://www.petapixel.com/2010/09/17/102-year-old-lens-plus-canon-5d-mark-ii-equals-instant-vintage-photos/
Thank you for your time.
