Lastly I was putting an MS Optical 50 f1.1 through it's paces. It has some problems, but in general is a gorgeous, loveable, little lens. All at f1.1:
In HK it's traditional to lots of fruit and mooncakes during mid-autumn. Here's an accidental still life
High contrast, bokeh and CA's. It's soft but the eyelashes are super sharp (sorry haven't uploaded a crop but can do if anyone is interested in this lens).
It has a very short throw on the focus, which surprisingly, you can actually focus pretty accurately. The feel is a little too light. It's really easy to change the aperture by accident:
Thank you, all around! It's a really sweet lens. I've often thought of going APO-Summicron, but I can live without f/2 (or keep telling myself that). The real selling points are the compact size, 46mm filters and top-notch performance. I've actually been meaning to revisit (rewrite) that review to be much more in-depth. One of my first ones and some two+ years old now. Either way, glad you liked it!Very nice Michael. I have my 90 Elmarit-M up for sale in the classifieds here on the forum. These make me think I should reconsider selling it! (Now if I just had your eye too!) BTW, Nice review of this lens on your site. Thanks for that. :thumbup:
Thanks so much! It was such a lovely day with the sun streaming through the varied plants, trees and flowers there... And it was constantly changing! I'd make one pass through the garden, swap lenses for a different viewpoint and it was a whole different experience. Small place, really - but I was there for a solid two+ hours.Michael just love the 1st & last in the set the first the shadows on the rocks of the ferns and the last the wonderful colour contrasts. Well done!
