You are correct in that the 35mm is not too bad. It was the 24 and 20mm that are the real offenders.

Modern lenses should be able to correct all of those things. Considering the amount of lens elements used today it should be plenty to do it all if old lenses with fewer elements can. Focus by wire ...

Whatever they make they should reconsider how they handle distortion. I'm looking at Tamron's compact prime set. With all of the know how of today it should be easy to control distortion. Even an ...

Riconar 55mm 2.2 can do it without filters.

Taking grain peeping to the next level.

I suppose the technology was young with the first A7's. But it was a bit surprising that my old EOS 40D focused better. Ok thanks. Thanks that worked. But I will keep it on because I often use ...

I tried both modes, it's been in mode 1 most of the time because manual focus is more important than controlling the aperture with the focus ring. It will still focus on its own. I'd like to turn ...

Hello. This is my first AF lens for my Sony a7. Until recently I have only used manual focus lenses and a few Canon EF lenses that can only be used with manual focus. This Samyang focuses quite ...

Hard choice. There are so many bad ones.

I like the way multiple cameras and lenses are used, zooms should be an unnecessary compromise when several high quality fixed lenses can be used instead.

You know the folded optics used by some...

Elite Chrome is positive so no need. But negatives are easy too, just white balance on the film border, invert command in Photoshop and lastly curve tool to finish up. I love Konica film, ...

These are nice to pixel/grain peep. It's not perfect, but closer to maximum resolution here where the grain is visible. Minolta X-700 MC Macro Rokkor 50mm 3.5 Kodak Elite Chrome Extra Color 100, 20 ...

I think this neg has more to give with better scanning, unless that is motion blur. Flatbeds work but are not the best.

The colors are quite nice but the sharpness is bad. My 35mm scans have higher quality.

If there is a will there is a way. You can probably get it done. Just get the parts, see if it fits. If it doesn't get better parts. I have several lenses that are supposed to be converted but I ...

Depending on if you are going to keep the original helicoid or not dictates what mount is best to convert it to. You probably have to remove the original helicoid and replace it with a short one ...

Agfa Isolette III. Very different to a Rollieflex.

It was Ektachrome 160T expired 2000. I'd also like to know the cause.

My last roll also had streaks like that on one shot. Agfa Isolette III camera. Scanned at home on a Canoscan 9000F.
