w/nw: pics from Canon 50/1.5


Recommended Posts

Very nice, Nathaniel. I continue to be amazed by the quality one can get from older lenses. Lens technology really is much more mature than one might think. We're nibbling at improvements these days ... the photograph is really 99% in the subject we place in front of the lens and in the photographer/s eye.

 

On the week-end I picked up an older Canon 135mm / f3.5 I'm anxious to try out. I've seen tests posted that show it the rough equal of the Tele-Elmar, and hence not too far off the current APO-Telyt. I'll post samples when I have them.

 

Keep working that sleeper, man! It deserves to be used!

Amen. I think most of the improvements in the last 50 years have been in coatings & the main effect of those advances was to make zoom lenses much more useable.
