+1 MichielVery nice Jerry and thank you for your comment. Was this taken with the 90? I love the bright colors.
Paul
Thank you Michiel. The Navitar is quite sharp wide open and can produce some unique bokeh. I realized that the B&W version I originally posted had been Photoshopped with a Topaz layer and so I edited it to show the original. I'll post the B&W on the B&W thread. I purchased my Navitar on ebay. I believe I payed about $150. It's very heavy and built like a tankThese are lovely, Paul. They have a special swirl to them and sharp too. :thumbs:
You have a reasonable Navitar dealer?
Michiel
Paul, thanks for your comment !@ Rafael. That latest Jena 35 is looking good. I have a storage problem too and need to get rid of some stuff.
Thanks Michiel. I doubt the Pentax is as sharp as the CZ Jena although I've not run a side by side comparison test. I also have the Pentax SMC K version of this lens which has the same optical formula. Focusing on both is about as good as it gets and superior to the Jena and many other lenses.Nice ones, Paul. Is that Takumar as sharp as your Carl Zeiss Jena lens?
Just wondering.
Here are two more with that V 1 lens.
In my opinion it is not as good as my Vivitar Series1 Telemacro 70-210/3.5.
But at least it is not as heavy.
The first one is a close focus example.
