50mm

Got the results in from the first roll through the Grandfathers LeicaIII/50 f:2 Summar, and these are SOOC straight from the lab, via their scanner. All shot on the same roll of Kodak Ultramax 400, using the "Sunny 16" as a stepping off point. Not that the lens goes to closes down to 16, its...

Just developed another roll from the Z-1p, this time with the FA 50mm f1.4 and some Fomapan 400 shot at ISO 320 to get a bit better shadows. It's been a while since I've shot this film. I also chose a new developer for it, Kodak TMAX at 1+4. All of the chemicals and ambient temps were around 22...

I'm looking into manual 50mm lenses, just to complete my current setup of 28mm, and 35mm. I already have a Nikon AIS 50mm 1.4, which I adapted, but the result is too bulky. To my knowledge, the only small adapters are the Leica ones. So, I love Voigtländer Leica M lenses for their cost/quality...

Took out my K5 with a Pentax 50mm f1.7, a real test of my 65 yr old short-sighted eyes and my manual focusing skills. I leave you all to judge ha ha!

I need some advice. For the purposes of photographing old books/documents of size 58cm x 48cm and 83cm x 58cm, I need to choose one of these two lenses that I would use on the Sony A7 IV: 1. Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art 2. Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN Art I can only choose between those two lenses...

Back to square one with this lens. My very first Nikkor lens. It's nice to have it once again.

I've got the old/original FA 50mm f1.4 and really like the results out of it. Interesting to see Pentax reboot the lens with the same look/feel/size... (wonder if this has anything to do with the rumoured film camera or if they just want to milk some older designs? maybe they stumbled across...

The Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f1.2 arrived two days ago, however due to bad weather I haven't really had the opportunity to take it outside. Just like the other Voigtländer lenses, this one comes with electrical contacts and communicates with most (modern) Fujifilm X cameras, there are some...

Took the combo out this weekend to check out the Canon lens for some people shots in all natural light. All shot at f2. Shooting with the sun just outside the frame -- no hood. L1007591 1 by Brusby, on Flickr Moving the sun just a bit farther out of the frame to remove the natural flare...

Some of the first shots off my new M10-P with this lens. SOOC. First shot was rotated slightly to get it level. Wide open. It should be noted, although this lens shipped with the usual screw and chart for making adjustments, absolutely none were needed.

I am starting to quite like this little lens: Decently sharp little lens. I do like the colours, quite vibrant but not oversaturated. Using a close-up filter makes the magnification more workable and the centre sharpness is still good. At anything less than wide open the aperture...

This is the original version of the Autofocus AF-Nikkor 50mm F1.4, came out with the N2020. This one is near mint. Someone must not have liked it, I literally dug it out of a Trash Can almost 30 years ago. I like it. I used it on the N8008, now use it on the Nikon Df. Some older shots on the...

Resistance is Futile. I like fast lenses. This one was $550 from Popflash, one of the best camera dealers in the country. I've bought and sold on consignment through them. This is the "Titanium" finish version, which has a 62mm filter ring- as opposed to the 67mm filter of the standard lens...

I recently acquired this lens (black finish) complete with LLL 39mm UV filter and screw in lens hood. Can’t consider the original which seems to attract US$30k at the moment. Took it out for an initial shoot late yesterday.

Took her out today in the sunlight on the way to work with the 50 mounted to look at a couple of my usual suspects. The crop effect to a 75mm FOV was quite interesting to me.

I think I have things sorted with this kit, so will be shooting exclusively with it for this week and with the Zeiss pair of lenses. I'm also experimenting with the in camera JPG settings so shooting DNG+JPG - and this week will sick with the B&W settings for that as well. A bit of cross...

Let’s get another one going for this statement piece of a lens. Just arrived today, so much more to come! I had to remove the filter, as something I’ve never experienced occurred while testing out sunstars (which are gorgeous on this lens). I had a large rainbow circle appear in all the shots...

Another Ebay purchase. This time MINT! Almost factory condition. I wish I had a D700 for this lens. I think it would show the character of the lens better than my D90.

Lens Light Lab (LLL) is a Chinese company which makes copies of old classic Leica lenses, the type which cost the price of a house in certain parts of the UK. And by all accounts, these copies seem to be of a superb quality, not only in appearance to the originals, but more importantly...

This is my very first experience with my brand new Sony FE 50mm f 1.8. It was not my first or second choice as a lens, but I had the chance to buy it without affecting me financially right now (finally was in stock on Argos with 6 months pay later interest-free). I picked it up yesterday from...

Picked up a very cheap copy of this lens on the bay of E the other day. It is hefty lens (heavier than a 12-40 2.8 pro!), with a massive slab of glass in there (62mm filter thread). It has some technical downsides, such as flare, glowing, purple fringing & it’s quite soft wide open (to be...

Ignore the exif 23mm, it's wrong. f1.2 f1.2 f8 Lovely, sturdy lens. Super affordable. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites.

The new Voigtlander Nokton 50mm F1 uses aspherical optics, floating element, and special glass. Focus is spot-on throughout the entire range with my M9, and accurate at the tested apertures of F1, F1.4, F2, F2.8, and F4. FULL RESOLUTION SHOTS: Nokton 50mm F1.0 Test Shots, have to put up my...

Somehow, I thought, I have already done a review of this lens.. It was a lens that made me a Pentaxian - for life! That would be my ''review''...

I picked this lens up a couple of months ago, have been using it on my Leica M9. Work has been "extremely busy", and taking some breaks while my Daughter is out of school. This lens is fast, relatively compact, sharp, contrasty, and focuses to 0.7m. It uses 52mm filters. About the same size and...

I recently came across this lens so am placing a reference point for it in case anyone in future searches it in the lenses section. Definitely recommended. I have a much larger DLSR 100mm macro lens which is better when it comes to strictly macro but in terms of overall rendering, this cheapie...

https://shop.cameraquest.com/voigtlander-leica-mount-lenses/voigtlander-50mm-f/1.0-leica-m-nokton-asph/ Cameraquest is taking orders. I bought my 50/1.1 Nokton, 35/1.2 Nokton v1, 50/1.5 Nokton v3, 50/2 APO-Lanthar, and 50/1.2 Nokton from Cameraquest- so have direct experience. Aspheric optics...

I've had the 50mm 1.0 a little over a week now. Which happened to be a week I was off of work. So I got to shoot with the 50 1.0 quite a bit. While there are a ton of reviews out there. I know we like to hear about gear from the people we know when they have it. Build quality is very solid...

This lens is amazing. You will not need a better-corrected lens than this. Unless you shoot UV. Then you need the lens on the Right. When received, I noted the overall size was about the same as my Pentax 85/4.5 Ultra-Achromatic-Takumar (UAT). The latter is 50 years old, maybe 40 lenses known...

Okay, Voigtlander is just knocking them out of the park these days. https://shop.cameraquest.com/voigtlander-leica-mount-lenses/voigtlander-50mm-f/2-apo-lanthar-aspherical-m/ No sooner than the V2 M-Mount 50/1.5 Nokton comes out, they do this to me... 50mm F2 APO lens, floating element, 4...

Nickel and Black finish, 43mm filter thread, compact design- reminded me of a Bertele lens from the 1930s. This lens is compact. It looks to be an Asymmetric design, meaning the front section is probably a loner focal length than the rear. This allows the two sections to be brought close...

New TTartisan 50mm f/1.4 lens for Leica M-mount to be announced on Friday (pre-orders now open) - Leica Rumors I was looking at the TTArtisan 50mm f/.95 or re-buying the 7Artisan 50mm f/1.1, but this looks like it hits the sweet spot of performance, size and price (retailing for $370 USD)...

It’s now available for preorder at all of your favorite places to get gear from. Priced at $1499.95. As one would expect from a lens at that price, the performance looks like it lives up to the hype...

Anyone got this lens? It's the one from mid 60s to the early 2000s (pre asph). If so, any thoughts?

So I thought that the 50mm f1.4 'Lux would be an eminently good choice for casual shooting with the CL..... Not so fast, I went out yesterday for a walk with it and upon returning dowloaded the images into the computer with LR. I did not get many keepers. Sadly, the shots I really wanted to keep...

My D3 hasn't been out of the bag in way too long so it came out for a walk today. Traditionally i've never liked 50mm, find it a really boring/stifling FL so i made myself use it today just because it's small & unloved lol Remembered how much my D3 loves Red when i looked at the flower shot but...

Here are some images taken with the CL and a Canon 50mm f3.5 Macro FD. None are cropped. Nice cheap alternative for macro with the CL. BTW, does anyone know what that first token with the angel might be for?

Here are some images taken with the CL and a Canon 50mm f3.5 Macro FD. None are cropped. Nice cheap alternative for macro with the CL. The proof set of coins are encased in a plastic box. I shot em through the plastic. the token/medallion and the other coins were captured without plastic or...

Got a few shots with the collapsible 50mm 'Cron adapted to the CL body...

I've been playing withe the CL and M lenses and having no joy with the cheap Fotasy adapter, don't buy one. So I started shooting images with the same lens in the adapted CL as well as the M240. Guess what, there's nothing wrong with the lens or either camera so my wasted walk and time shooting...

I have a Canon 50mm F1.4 and it is very sharp, good focus. Great up close (has been adjusted by van Maanen Zoetermeer, nl). Now the close focus distance is 1.00 m. Not very practical, I mean, it leaves a lot to wish for. Could it be possible to 'hack' this lens and take out a bit of internal...

This is a rare lens, made from 1/1961 to 6/1961 and sold only in Japan. According to Peter Kitchingman's authoritative book, serial numbers ran from 10000 to 13381. This is the 89th lens produced, and is in beautiful condition. Glass is near perfect, focus is smooth, and there is no play in the...

Now I know why this lens is claimed to be the sharpest of the Canon 50's in Leica Mount. It is. The 50mm F1.8 Serenar was introduced in 1951, replaced the 50mm F1.9 Serenar. The 50/1.8 Serenar is much sharper than the older F1.9. The Black version is a new lens, even though it retains the same...

The walk home by Harry Cutts, on Flickr

I don't think there's a showcase for this lens which is surprising given how many copies of it were made and the fact that a large portion of members here would have either owned or currently own one. A truly wonderful lens in terms of operation and rendering.

So far it’s not too huge to keep me from wanting. The price tag may be though. https://www.fujirumors.com/fujinon-xf-50mm-f-1-0-accurate-size-comparison-with-xf-56mm-f-1-2-and-xf-50mm-f-2/

This was the first lens I got for my Sony system. I took this photo at the subway during peak hour, the lady wearing a speaker probably has got the easiest job, to tell people to wait for the next train, luckily we don't have those "pushers" you see in Japan or even Beijing these days. Here she is.
