Vintage lenses are where it's at. The influx of companies like Polar Pro w mist and flare filters is testament to people looking for that vintage iconic film look. Simple. Buy vintage lenses. Seems like a waste of money buying a few grand lens to then additionally buy 1/4 or 1/2 mist filter because you want that softness that today's clinical sharp as a tack souless lenses produce. Plus most cameras have peaking so your assured great focus. That's my 2 cents
I shoot with a few modern lenses for work, but while they take sharp, clean images, I find them a little soulless, and I love my growing collection of vintage glass.
