Yeah that Cosmicar seems to have a nice mixture of vintage and modern look to it. I wish I was a better colorist to get the most out of it, though. It's a very cool lens, I only spent 21 bucks in NOS.

That's what I was thinking. That lens pops.

@iamoui @mercer I can imagine how much it pops on a full frame body omg ! Im interested in the 35 f1.4 I heard that one is a beast with the 3d rendering !

contax zeiss 50mm f1.4 aej. Has anyone shot with the contax zeiss 50mm f1.7 before ? curious about that lens

[DevonChris]

@kidzrevil Yep. I shot this with a Contax Zeiss 50mm f/1.7 using an adaptor (not SB) on my GX8

@DevonChris that rendering is just gorgeous ! I hear its sharper than the 1.4

Thanks It's an incredibly sharp lens as you can see with the writing on the sports programme the lady on the left is holding.

@kidzrevil I have the 50mm 1.7 and love it. I also heard it was sharper than the 1.4, which is why I got it. (It was also cheaper!) It's one of my favorite lenses for stills. I use it for video quite often too, but here's a couple stills I've taken that I think really show off the lovely rendering of this fine piece of glass:

@Parker wanna trade ?

That lost shot is incredible, very 3D. Was this shot on a FF body ?

Thanks! But I don't have a FF cam, all those were shot with my NX1

Contax Zeiss Planar 28mm f2 strikes again !

Hi i hope Andy lee is stil a regular here.

I'm now on page 19 of these thread and there is a lot writen about the Yashica ML lenses, but the most is about the primes. Im interested if the zoom ML lenses are also good. I can get a Yashica 80-200 mm 1:4 for about 30 €. Is it worth it?

Nikon has a new nikkor 105 1.4 in the makings, kind of a pointless lens but for the portrait bokeh whores this will be THE lens.

May i ask why its pointless? its the longest f1.4 dslr lens, it will be amazing for portraits.

The question is: What's still in focus at 105mm f1.4? The tip of your talent's nose with eyes blurred out?

Like cantsin said, a portrait with a 105 f2 is already pretty much overkill, 1.4... If the lens is very good at 1.4 I can see it being used on environmental portraits, but the AF has to be very accurate and fast plus the lens has to be very good.

is the canon 85mm 1.2 pointless then also? so many wedding photographers rely on that lens at f1.2, its a specific style.
