I wouldn't worry about the vignette, everything about that lens which you've posted has been charming. It is what it is, warts n'all.View attachment 373570
Kodak Cine Ektar 25mm 1.4 - Only issue I have with this lens is the vignette - I am sometimes tempted to buy an old Nikon 1 and use it to adapt this lens. Biggest problem is that the Nikon 1 does not have edge detection focus peaking...
Jan, have they finished your house yet?
Perfect opportunity for a new thread gents.If you mean, are they doing "finishing work," then yes!
It's going to be lovely… if we ever get in it. The best and worst thing is that the builder is an "artiste," and he loves to work with found materials. Right now, he's putting up solid copper sheeting backsplash around the kitchen counter!
We gave him tropical hardwood boards I salvaged from pallets that came with equipment my employer imported from South America. He's inlaid that into the custom cabinetry, and made a countertop to match the Purpleheart. And the Venitian-Lime plaster is like a sheet of glass!
He selected cedars to turn into posts for the newel rods for the loft railing, arranging then small-to-large-to-small, for a nice effect.
I'm trying my best to be patient. These were from three weeks ago, and it seems it's only a little bit closer to move-in. There are about two dozen five-minute jobs to do yet. If you got two dozen people together who really knew what they were doing, it could be done in five minutes! But it will probably me more like five weeks…
(Sorry, none of these were shot with an "adapted lens." Perhaps we need a "My New House" thread?)

Yes- I could not resist, the pictures belong on their own thread-Perfect opportunity for a new thread gents.
I’ve been really enjoying the images you’ve been posting with this lens and very impressed with how they still stand wide open.
Thanks, Ray!I’ve been really enjoying the images you’ve been posting with this lens and very impressed with how they still stand wide open.
Great, I like it even more nowIt does get "glowy" at f/1.2 at close distances
The EXIF under your photos state that they're all made with f/1.2. Seeing the photos that looks improbable to me, I guess some of them at least are made with much smaller apertures like f/5.6 or so? Very curious about that. If they all are shot wide-open, I'm extremely impressed!
No, not at all, Ad: only the maximum aperture gets written to the EXIF. The adapter is purely mechanical.The EXIF under your photos state that they're all made with f/1.2.
