Optics and Lenses - This forum is aimed towards the TECHNICAL side of photographic OPTICS and LENSES. There will be some overlap by camera/manufacturer, but this forum is for the heavy duty tech discussions. This is NOT the place to discuss a specific lens or lens line, do that in the appropriate forum. This is the forum to discuss optics or lenses in general, to learn about the tech behind the lenses and images. IF you have a question about a specific lens, post it in the forum about that type of camera, NOT HERE.

ferider-adapted smc pentax-m 50/1.4 ...

... on my bessa r2m. thank you, roland, for providing a lens to check out on my bessa. beautifully executed. smooth operation.
superb sharpness in quick pics with drugstore iso 400 film, processing, scanning. TTL metering by the bessa. focus was dead on at any distance.
here are some examples:













this is standard test shot subject for me:




couple of f1.4 shots, hand held like all other shots:
focus on her nose:


focus on the "V" of the shovel swage:


i'm shooting a roll of tri-x/AP 400 right now. it will be a couple of days before i develop and scan the film, and write a full review, including pics of the lens on and off the cam. i'm writing this is at a public library 15 miles from home because my bride is out of town at a volleyball camp, with our mi-fi widget.

thanks again, roland. the lens is a wonder ...
