I only have a sony a5000, but the oldest lens I have for it is probably my helios 44-2, or maybe my auto chinon 55m f1.4.

Both are gorgeous lenses for different situations, largely background dependant.

the helios I love to use when I'm looking for that artsy, swirly bokeh, trying to take a fairy tale picture.

Whilst the chinon is just incredible open wide whilst avoiding chromatic abberation.

I wish I had a lighter prime lens, as both are an effort to lug around with all my kit, but the quality makes it worthwhile

The camera I end up using the most is a Minolta XE-5 from 1975. The camera I use less often but love equaly is a Mamiya RB67 from 1972. If we are talking digital I dont really know... probably my 2017 Galaxy Note 8?

I've got an old film camera but I've never used it.

Got a a sony point and shoot along with a handycam from like 2004 or 2005.

Then a vivio camcorder

I for a while had a 28-135 USM but I returned it and used an 18-135 because I didn't need the full frame of it and it is a lens that has known auto focus breaking due to a bad ribbon cable.

Good luck, Have fun, Build PC, and have a last gen console for use once a year. I should answer most of the time between 9 to 3 PST
