Robert,Jonas, how did you do those flare tests?
Carl, that 35mm lens seem to work fine. Is it as an avid landscape shooter you find it necessary to have both the 35 and 45mm lenses? Or did you get the lenses as a set?(...) using the Fotodiox m43 adapter (...) Waiting now for Robert's new geared adaptor
I had purchased the 35 first and then got the 45+90 as a set. The 35 is actually very nice and I haven't seen any problems with corner sharpness. I used to have a Zeiss 35 biogon in M mount that did produce some corner softness.Carl, that 35mm lens seem to work fine.

I'm sorry the Fotodiox adapter didn't make it. The geared Kipon adapter works OK, hopefully Robert's adapter will be even better.

Alex,Gmoe,
here is G-Biogon 28/2.8's examples >

and G-Biogon 21/2.8 (M-mounted)'s small set of examples >

I would think there is no merit to shorten the legs (lens' rear protector) of those
wide angle G-Biogons. Of course you can still use them, but loose re-sale value.
Looks very good Karl. Thanks for posting these shots. I love "too sharp" lenses so I'm looking forward to working with the 45 Planar.I baught the Kipon adapter, see the pictures and the examples. Mounting and dismounting is easy with both glasses, the 90 and the 45. Focusing is soft and exact, with the Planar 45 it is smoother. So far, I like the combi, you can work with it, not much slower than with my Nokton 40/1,4 or the Pen 40/1,4.
The Planar is nearly too sharp for portraits

Portraits all ISO 800 and Planar 45 at F2,0, hand held 1/160 sec to 1/320 sec.
Thanks for the compliment.ReeRay,
Excellent photo with the 90mm and wide open. I am waiting for Monza's geared adapter, but I am happy to see there are other adapters that work.
Lol, asking for more?
But really, it is amazing how much one can learn from taking an image of a flat surface with lines on it. I liked the PDF file in that article, it gave some food for thoughts.
Thank you for the link.
Thank you for looking/commenting. Pseudo scientific, but a way for me to learn about lenses I figure I may use a lot.
a) Yes, Zeiss is often like that.
x) My results can't be compared with results from other tests, be they made by a single person somewhere, or by Photozone or somebody else. But I can compare to my own results.
Here, for example, some flare results, all at f/2:
(So much for DPR not finding any flare in the G20/1.7)

Thank you for that comment, Seyhun.Jonas,
Thanks for your post. Very informative for me.
