carlos_borges Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Hello to you all. I need feedback for the Kodak Retina (reflex) 28mm f:4 lens. Do you ever use one ?? how does it compare with (for intance) the good Xenon C 50mm f:2 found on Retinas IIIc ?? I intented to use it for night work, so heavy flair is an issue. Thank you all for your replies. Regards. http://www.carlosborges.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_eve Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I use mine on my Retina IIIS. It is a bit flare-prone, though probably no more so than any wide-angle lens of similar vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julio Fernandez Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I used a 28 mm f4 with a Retina Reflex III many years ago (1968). It was about as sharp as the 50 with the technology I had at the time. I do not remember special flaring problems, it is a coated lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micah_henry Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Carlos, Hi. I have one of these and use it on my Retina Reflex IV. Is has a very short focusing throw, about 1/4 turn from nearest focus to infinity. I have a hard time focusing precisely with it, but depth of field is usually more than adequate to compensate with this wide of a lens. It has a rather recessed front element--like a built-in hood. I don't remember flare problems with mine. --Micah in NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
