Hello

I'll try with a humble contribution to these excellent pages with a little test a few vintage lenses.

My D800 is in backorder, so it's only thanks to Steen from this forum, I have had the opportunity to test and play around with the D800 - thanks to Steen for his generous approach to a colleague in need.

All images are shot RAW, opened in Camera Raw 6.7, lens correction, standard camera, RAW presharpen - no other PP.


First The Zeiss Contax 28mm 2.8 at f/5.6



and at 100% crop of same picture

The Contax Zeiss glass looks pretty good but the old Nikon is just giving plain weird results!

Thanks for sharing mate... I just fitted a Leitax to my 50mm summicron R and am looking forward to giving it a proper workout soon...
