Great shots hakkalo..

After reading one of the other threads here, I couldn't come to a conclusion about whether the RX or non-RX Kern lenses are the ones to go for for m43.

Which are you using, non-RX ?

Stuart

Stuart,

After reading one of the other threads here, I couldn't come to a conclusion about whether the RX or non-RX Kern lenses are the ones to go for for m43.

RX lenses have a non-standard lens-to-sensor distance and may have to be re-collimated to achieve infinity focus. See my Dream Service thread on this forum

Cheers,
Peter

Very nice series, thanks! I'm wondering, has anybody had a chance to directly compare the Yvar 75/2.8 and the Macro Switar 75/1.9 - or the 'standard Yvar 150/4 with the Macro 150/3.3?

As far as I know, Macro Switar 75mm F1.9 is more expensive than Yvar 75mm F2.8. 75/1.9 can not cover 35mm film format , but 75/2.8 can.

On the other hand, Macro-Yvar 150/3.3 costs more than Yvar 150/4,but Yvar/4 even can cover 120mm film format.

Oh man, you really have all the lenses in the world I think I asked a similar question before, but could you please comment on what you think of the 150/3.3? I have a 150/4 that should come back from servicing any day now, but I still think about upgrading to the newer version for the extra stop and the macro capability, I'm just not sure that it is worth it, any comments? I'm also surprised to see some vignetting in the picture, is that across the whole range? And finally, when you get a chance, could you please show a macro shot with that lens? Thanks,

Stefan

150/3.3 macro is much better than 150/4:thumbup: BTW,where you get it serviced ?

This shot is hand held.
