Hey Jonas, awesome thread you've started here! Great idea with the index. Do you still have the 50 Cron and 80 Lux? (...)

Hi there Carsten, and Welcome.

That's some cool Ziess - Voigtländer stuff you posted! That's the way my dad bored us kids to death a long time ago... the screen with a yellow cast on to it, an old projector where he switched the frame every time he dragged the slider and the family on the floor, falling asleep...

I, and I regret it, sold the 80Lux when i sold my first 5D. Now I wish I had kept that lens as it is truly great. The 50Cron I still have. It is a good standard performer working as a refernce and when i want that pleasing rendering.

The Index seem to work fine, no? And now you are in there... Cheers, /Jonas

Thank you thrice, and

The 90CronAA at MFD, that's funny as that is the way the thread started!I have since then sold my one and replaced it with a Zuiko OM 90/2 Macro. Pros and cons. Cheers, /Jonas

I'm sorry but I don't get it and I sure wish I was smarter and more witty. I tried a Zebra lens once but never heard about a macaroni lens. What title? Maybe it doesn't matter.

There are very few lenses with nice front oof blur. Alot of nice blur behind the subject though.

Any good front oof blur lenses out there?

My Pentax 50/1.2 has some weird ring-like front OOF blur:

Sorry for the crap shot, it's almost a 100% crop (let's say 85%?) wide open, and I was just playing around so no real subject or meaning to the shot.

Jonas, I think he just means macro lens, jokingly. My Zeiss FE 110/2 is without the square baffle. I have never seen an authoritative guide to 110/2 versions, but since it is slightly older than John Black's old 110/2, I guess mine might be a 4th edition. I think the first three were F, not FE, but I am not sure there either.

From time to time I look at the 80 Lux and think about buying one again, as well as the 100/2.8 Macro, the 180/2 and 280/4, but in the end it makes little sense, with no camera to put them on and get much more than with my M8. Maybe one day with a high-megapixel R10...

Love your macro shots Andreas, and the portraits are good too. If the 35L didn't suffer from CA so much I'd probably get one, great in a portrait setting though!

Jonas, page 41 Dimitri's shots are with the Konica Hexanon AR 57mm f1.2 (slr lens) not the 50mm f1.2 hexanon (rangefinder lens).

Carsten; Yes, you are right. He probably means a 100/2.8 Macro. That leaves us to guess among at least 3 optically different lenses. Guess the lens -games can be fun but that is not the idea behind this thread.

There are many beautiful and desirable lenses, and cameras. The 80Lux definitely is one of them. I'm happy for the time I had it and wouldn't mind owning one again - but wth, you can't have them all and if they don't see any use it does little sense just having them standing on a shelf.

Anden; The different Pentax 50/1.4 incarnations do foreground OOF subjects better than background OOF stuff in my experience. I guess this also is depending on relative distances between the camera and the subject and so on.

Thank yous goes out to Andreas and Daniel! An Index with errors is worse than no index at all. I hope I got (most of) it right now.

Thank you Daniel. I was not too bothered by the CA with the 35L. It is a great lens overall.

I might have to try one of the pentaxes then.

Andreas,

I assume you are adding alot of blur through photoshop on shots like the ferns and some of the other macro flower shots. Is that correct?

I never add blur in PS. I use large apertures and close distances.

Never used a macro lens around and over 1:1 macro ratio at wide apertures?

Yes, thanks Ahamb I have. Just saw extra DOF on some shots for the amount of blurring I was seeing. I see now a couple were taken with the TSE-90 lens which I didn't see before. The ferns shot looked like there was extra blurring to me because some of the frawns in the front looked more blurred than some in the back but I think that is to do with the angle of those frawns in the back which are more parallel with the plane of the camera than the ones in front which are perpendicular to the camera plane.

The blue flower shot with the MPE-65 seems to have more DOF than what I see with my 100 and 135 macro but must be due to the difference a wider angle macro lens gives you.

I assume you don't do any focus stacking either with any of your macro shots, correct?

Do not mean to offend anyone or upset anyone, just trying to learn more about macro.
