G1 with Swiss lenses

150/3.3 macro is much better than 150/4:thumbup: BTW,where you get it serviced ?
Thanks hakkalo, this means I probably will have to spend more money :rolleyes: And to go one step further: Are there any differences between the newer preset and the non-present 150/3.3? I like the preset 75mm Macro Switar, so I am leaning toward that one. I'll have to see what the prices are...

I have sent a few lenses for servicing to a gentleman in Pennsylvania. I can't say much about the quality because I am still waiting for them to come back, so what I can say is that it is going veeeery slowly. I didn't mind but now I am anxiously waiting for Yvars, Canon TV-16 lenses, a cine Nikkor 10mm and - most importantly -the Angenieux M1 0.95/25 to come back before I go on a short trip in 10 days...

I finally got a few shots with my Makro Yvar 150/3.3 in today, just a few minutes between a meeting and dinner...

By the water




Diamond Head Honolulu




Here just a quick pic from the same spot with the 20/1.7




Catching dinner




Waiting for the sunset




And here are 2 macro shots






I love the lens. It does vignette a bit more than I had hoped, but overall I am very happy. BTW, the pics are all uncropped jpgs, just a bit of auto-sharpening and auto-contrast in Picasa - and all are hand-held, most around F5.6, so I am sure there is a lot more potential in this lens.

I didn't crop my all my pictures taken with Kern Macro Yvar 150mm f3.3.I found it does vignette more if it set on small aperture.
See this picture:cussing: The former Soviet aircraft carrier Minsk:deadhorse:

Today on the way home from work, trying to decide whether to keep the FD 85/1.8 or the Macro Switar 75/1.9. Here are some of the Switar, GH1, wide open, minimal PP (jpgs in Picasa).











The Kern shows less purple fringing, has the macro option and looks cooler :) So, the Kern is clearly in the lead. Will have to look again stopped down and reg. corner performance before I make the final decision.

Just checking: I don't see a picture and only see the link in this reply when I quote - and when I follow the link, I don't get a picture. Is that my settings or a general problem? Thanks,

With Firefox, I cannot see the pictures either. They are displayed when using MS Explorer.
