Hi,
I just updated the Index and wonder if you can elaborate a little on this lens. It just says "Cosina 55/1.2" on it? The bright rings around the background OOF highlights (my personal obsession) seem less than usual from Cosina (the Voigtländer 58mm for example).

Hi fotissgr,
Your 50mm Minolta MD Rokkor images look OK. If you really asked, that is...

The fence images, are they sharpened for the web or "unprocessed"?

Hi, somebody is using the Index!! Cool.
Thank you - the lens is now an Elmarit. I also found a Simmicron lens in the list. Amazing!
Cheers, /Jonas

It is older than the CV 58/1.4 and an unrelated design. I believe that it is essentially the same as the Tomioka 55/1.2 except made by Cosina and multi-coated. It is in the Pentax K mount and has a 9-blade aperture.

I've only just started to play around with lens, but here are a few preliminary comments. Compared to the CV 58/1.4 (which I also have) it has a nicer bokeh (which you suggest), but is noticeably more flare prone. This lens should not be used with out a hood. It appears to be reasonably sharp wide open (that is, within expectations).

Perhaps it goes without saying but what makes many of these shots stand-out gorgeous is more the composition than the lens. Granted, the lens has its own character, but the best of the shots posted above would look about as good with a Coke bottle used as the lens. There is something to be said for the eye behind the camera in addition to the gear attached to it.

Don't have an adapter for my Leica 2/50 (still en route), so all that I can offer up are some shots from Canon lenses. Hold your rotten eggs, please.

The first set of 3 were taken with a 200mm f/2.8L II coupled with a 1.4x extender. The other two were with the 100mm f/2.8 macro.

Paul,
Nice shots! Your girls are too cute.
Reminds me of my girls when they were little, ... now I'm a Grandpa.
I need to put my Oly to better use. Thanks for reminding me.

Yup, I had that lens. Admirable blur, or not...

But then again, how often does one seek/expect great bokeh from a 20mm lens?

Two from last Saturday when we got finally some light - Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 2/100 ZF @ f/2:

Canon EF300mm f/2.8 L IS USM @ f/4:

The 300L shot ended up having really nice bokeh (my subjective opinion...), lively but also smooth, just the way I like. So sad the lens weights a ton and it's nice to carry around.
