alexander_krasotkin Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Guys,I am just about to purchase 55/3.5 to fill the gap between 45/2.8 abd 80/2. The initial plan was to go for 35/3.5, but after analysing my photo archive, I have found out that very rarely use superwide angle, so I have decided to get 55/3.5. What is your opinion re sharpness, resolution, bokeh and focusing speed? Does it give a different picture then 80/2? From what I have read on the web, this lens is highly regarded by users. thank you very much in advance.Alexander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygzr Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Which manufacturer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_yeowell Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Alexander, I take it you are refering to Contax 645, and yes the 55mm is very sharp at every aperture with stunning resolution, and it has a nice gentle wide effect much like a 35mm lens on 35mm camera, it also focusses very close. Bokeh is a little behind the 80mm, which incedently I regard as the absolute best in its class in this regard, nothing comes close except maybe my 120CFI macro Hasselblad. You will not be dissapointed with the 55mm and it will fit yor lens line-up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
