Hello Michiel,

Great Colors! All the best, Leica 77

Mine too! The background has become very "painterly".

Thank you Leica77 and John for your appreciation. This lens can make some weird curls in the close background while it can appear rather smooth in the far background. I am really enjoying this lens.
Thanks, Michiel

Re: Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 50/2.8

It delivers a strange bokeh, but I think it is not bad. It is a lens coming from an Edixa-reflex and has a M42 mount. It is very well made.
Here are some samples with the usual flowers

Hi Michael,

New member here. I have the same lens, and the aperture on this lens is stepless (no click stops). Is this the same on yours as well?

Thanks

My first picture here

C-mount JML 50mm f0.95 TV lens + G1. Too bad this lens can not focus to infinity due to its very large diameter at the back. The c-mount, however, is removable.

Hello Yu-Lin,

Yes you are right, if you pull the aperture ring towards the camera the aperture is stepless. It says Edixa-Reflex on the outside of the lens barrel. You have any pic's with this same lens to share?

Best regards, Michiel

Hi Michiel,

Thanks for the information. When you say "pull the aperture ring towards the camera", do you mean that you can make it so that it clicks? Mine does not have this option.

I haven't taken any pictures with lens on the G1 yet, though I have a few taken with the 5D. Will definitely post a few later.

Thanks

While pulled you can turn stepless, i you let go it clicks into the stops.

That's interesting. Mine does not have that option. Perhaps the previous owner broke it. Here are a couple of pictures of the lens:

Here is mine, it certainly looks different.
There have been lots of lenses and versions made for the Edixa- Reflex, also in the original Edixa mount, which we, sadly, can not use because there is no adapter for it as far as I know.
So this must be a different version from a differnt year.

Many thanks for the picture, Michiel. Now I know they are different designs. Cheers.

Welcome Hakkalo, nice shot! Let's start a (around) 80mm lens thread!
There are a lot of legendary lenses from 75 to 90 mm
Meopta Openar, it sounds like an opera!
For what filmcamera was it made for?
Greetings, Michiel
