Very pleasant rendition. I'd take that over more sharpness but less "character"

Thank you! I try to create as pronounced bokeh effects as possible. I think the foreground is a bit smoother. As to the technical nature of optics I haven't done my homework yet.

Taken with a Sony a7. Retina Xenon 50mm 1.9 Diaplan 100mm 2.8 Wollensak Oscillo-Anastigmat 75mm 1.9

Better than expected. And really good at some focal lengths.

Rodenstock Retina Heligon 50mm f/1.9 with a separation issue. It make really intense flare!

Thanks! Yes it's a lot of fun.

How many other reviewers risk their lives and run across a dangerous road in slow motion for his viewers? That's a very crucial test.

There is no way yet to get a good scan at home with auto settings. It looks like a good photo but somewhere in the pipeline things went bad.

The scan itself is probably good as well. BUT it has...

I also had that issue with a c/y lens, think it was a Tamron. The lens could still be mounted if a small device like a screwdriver is used inside the mount to help mounting it. You will see where ...

No, this is a bad conversion.

I wish I knew.

I have seen something similar on my A7 when using a Macro Takumar 50mm f/4 at 1:1. But that was for normal macro, not scanning film. Probably flare. When scanning film I use a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 ...

Raw is the way to go unless unless you have hundreds of old slides to scan. Or if you are a jpeg shooter. It is possible to make a quick and dirty conversion from raw or take the time to do a good...

As a bokeh connoisseur I'd like to get a Primoplan 58mm. But it's probably safer to order one made in 1950 from a random ebay seller. It may be old suffer from age but at least you get one.
