No offense, but I thing you shall done little homework, i.e. digging and reading, in order to have some basic knowledge of what you asking. That way, your question will be more precise and we...

Yep, IQ has to be better here. Of course, well processed RAW would be better, but the problem is JPG file. Check your settings, see whether JPG quality is set to best. No other idea whats wrong.

Yes, you can.http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/39836677

Sky's the limit :-) Thanks!

Hi! Would you be so kind to measure for me inner dimension of optical rectangular tunnel in LA-EA1 or LA-EA2 adapter? I am trying to make a DIY baffle for my cheapo adapters, witch would simulate...

Yep, that's exactly my conclusion, when compared 200mm against sharp 135mm (Jupiter-37A). Here is some links (some on...

Yeah, I am also looking forward to test them against one another. I will post some samples in a couple of days, of course. However, I am skeptical. Konica lenses are highly regarded back in film...

@captura: Thanks! Looking forward to test it! @RichRMA: Mostly agree. But, "The average modern kit lens runs rings around them, especially with in-camera correction" I have to partly agree....

Thanks, guys! I have just ordered Vivitar - 20€ shipped. I will put some samples, if someone is interested. Thanks again!

I would really appreciate your opinion on this. I have perfect Hexanon 200mm f3.5. It is my first and only experience with legacy 200mm focal length. I have to admit, I am not very pleased with IQ....

Nice of you for asking feedback. IMHO, I would change icon that looks like wrench, beside TRIED / TESTED gear. When I see wrench, first thought is repaired / need to be repaired. I am not using...

Sorry, this off-topic here may sound odd, but it is coming from nostalgic fanboy of Konica & Minolta. I would love to see SONY decide to revamp some of these two brands, or even to revamp ZEISS...

It is hard to beat that Sigma in any aspect, except to look on another side and search for a lens with character. These are my recommendations: - industar 69 2.8/28 - more info here - Pentacon /...

Great lens, you will enjoy it. Note: I have intentionally mentioned Prakticar 1.8/80 in my post above. It should be same lens as M42 Pancolar, only with different mount. But lot cheaper - hidden...
