Oh yeah...the hood induced vignette I forgot about that. So, yes the Switar does cover the sensor wide open. I just quickly looked and stopped down a bit and you see vignette.Bill, all four of these lenses have set screws on the chrome plated rear part of the lens.
How close does the Switar come to covering the sensor? I assume moreso without the hood, than with it.
shot RAW, with very little cropping. 35mm was already a little tight for the occasion.Lovely picture, as are many on flickr. Did you crop them to eliminate the corner unsharpness? Jpeg or RAW? Which software?
Very nice set, Dave. Does that Kodak cover the sensor?
Cosmicar is now sold under the Pentax name, the 25/1.4 Pentax in the photo above is one example. Any Cosmicar-labled lenses that are new, are old stock. Not sure how many blades...
Maybe you can post an image that is not sharp and tell us what you have done trying to get it sharp? Then it would be easier to understand the problem.(...) canon 55mm f1.2 SSC FD lens but the images are soft and unsharp rim. I try that you suggest me, but it's still accur. Tell me more please. Thanks you very much.
Thanks.Arne, in post # 11 butterdada mentions Silkypix, though I don't know if that means that all his images were converted with Silkypix ...
And butterdada, I agree with Arne, your images are very nice indeed and they make excellent illustrations of lens performance. Thanks for your efforts with this and for posting them here.
Hi butterdada,Konica UC hexanon AR 28mm F1.8
I modify it by myself. Very easy.Hi butterdada,
The UC Hexanon... how do you use it on the G1? A homemade adapter or did you modify the lens? I understand it as this UC lens has floating elements and wonder there is any special attention needed when modifying it.
What is your general impression of the lens (not thinking of wide open close-ups only)?
kindest, /Jonas
