p.33 #2 · "Admirable" blur samples

I have got mine on german ebay (lense (in a very good condition, nearly mint) - not that cheap $650, but this 24 1.4 ssc asph is a realy rare thing - fd 24 1.4L is more common - about $500-600 (the same optical design, may be some variations in coating, because i have fd 85 1.2L and fd 85 1.2 ssc asph - some different color cast in coating).

Well, the index was once here. Now it is somewhere else. Go to page 1, the very first post, to see where it has moved.

The Index is now 50+ kB and the thread is at 50+ k views and maybe it is time to let go of it? You decide. Maybe I have split feelings about it as I lately have been using a G1... Lol.

No matter the decision you have put a lot of work in this and is a great reerence to see how various lens perform thanks. standing

Using any adapted lens on the G1 yet? Show us some picts. I plan on getting one, I already have the FD adapter on the way.

Thank you for the kind comment.

I use nearly only adapted lenses with the G1. The small sensor prohibits any serious attempts of DOF control but here are two with some blur. (So I'll be the first to add further images then, lol):

It's very fun to use the G1 and it shines with alternate lenses. The crop factor is kinda limiting though. OTOH I can carry it all day in a satchel bag without pain. I have a CV28/2 lens on order. I think it will work just fine as a walk around lens.

I agree with the others. This has been a great contribution to FM. Thanks!

Richard, I'm backing it up right now. Maybe I'll do the Alt Image thread too.

@Burningheart, Richard, Paul, and anyone else interested...

When I edited the Index I was pretty tired. I'm seldom very clear-headed and then I probably was more of a dimwit than usual... I didn't realize, maybe I still don't really, so many thought so highly about the thread. Since starting it I have got a handful of PMs from people informing me about mistakes I've done when editing the Index and a few encouraging words as well.

Anyway, as it now seems as people like the thread, and to have it as a resource I see no reason to stop it. I'm happy it has turned out that way and knowing it makes it meaningful to continue.

Maintaining the Index isn't that hard really and I have mentioned I usually do it at work when I have some time to spend for myself there...

So, let's keep it rolling then! I'll edit my comment in the Index post.

Thank you for the support, and please post an image every now and then!

Cheers,

Great news Jonas!

I still have many lenses that I'd like to provide blur samples from. I just need time to shoot something beautiful with them all.

Based on Richard's call, I investigated how to do a complete "backup" of a thread such as this, with all images intact, etc. (except for images that have disappeared, of course).

I now have the entire thread on my HD, completely browseable offline, including all images, requisites, etc.

I will do the same to the alt image thread.

Maybe I'll write a script and run it from a cron job to do this on a weekly basis. That way, no matter what happens, we'll always have a backup that can be zipped and distributed to whoever wants it.

Francisco, those are stunning images, love the subtle yet detailed rendering. Looks incredibly realistic and "touchable" if you know what I mean. Very jealous of that lens

Great lighting brainiac, well captured. You guys and your 180/2 apo's are making my money burn in my pocket

EDIT: Just looked up the price of that lens, unless I rob a bank I think it'll remain a dream for me.

The way banks are doing now, I'd recommend against robbing them --- if you steal everything they have, you'll just end up with a few billion in debt

Man, you and me both. That really is a special little lens. How big is it compared to say the canon 200 f2 IS?

Nikkor 35/1.4 @ f/2 on D700. A little bit misfocused, but now we're talking bokeh.

I have a love-hate relationship with this lens. The bokeh sucks really bad at larger distances (a few meters), from f/1.4 to f/2.8. But the closer you focus, the better the bokeh gets. The above shot is somewhere in between good and bad, in my opinion. As you can see, it declines in terms of nice look, towards the edges.

Edit: Please note that I've enhanced the local contrast by applying USM with a large radius (100 pixels), which affects the look of the bokeh a bit.

Quad 11L or 12L? Great speakers, had the 11L:s long time ago.

Makten: I agree, min gode man, the bokeh is becoming increasingly distracting towards the edges on that shot (previous post, shot with the fence).

Now for my favourite lens of all times! The Nikkor 28/2.8 AIS, wide open on D700. The bokeh is really pleasing for a wide angle lens, in my opinion.

Cropped to 5:7 format, sideways.

And a 100% crop for the pixel peepers. This is at ISO 1800 without noise reduction, so sharpness could be better.

That sharpness is crazy.. if the 28 2.0 is anywhere near that at 2.8 when it arrives, I'll be happy

Oh my goodness, talk about alternative lens. How rare, do you have more examples from this lens?
