Colored Glass

Using Vintage Lenses on Modern High-Performance Cameras
Some time ago, I got caught up in the then-current wave of experimenting with "vintage glass." Since then, about a dozen, some quite old pieces, have been languishing in my display case. Are there any fellow enthusiasts here who actively collect or work with this kind of glass? That would really motivate me to start exploring with these former treasures again instead of just debating whether to sell them or keep dusting them off.
Of course, a discussion about this genre would also be fascinating. Best, Alfred

Hello Alfred
I use "old glass," mostly on interchangeable sensor cameras and occasionally on a digital Olympus.
In particular, my FD 2.8/300 lens has really won me over. It allows me to use a bright 600mm prime lens.
By the way, I started a thread on this topic back in April.
Best, Andreas
