Canon 90 TS-E on 5D

Glad you like it! I found it when looking for another shot from my summer in Chicago in 2006.

Very kind of you!.

Is it just me, or does the Sigma 50 f1.4 draw from the Rokkor 58's book of "The way to render butter-smooth bokeh?"

Gotta say I like the FL the best, Bobby Tan. Surprising, considering the fantastic lenses it has been paired against... Just love the way the FL renders the bokeh in such a busy way..

Hmmmm .... different strokes for different folks I guess. I prefer the "less busy" and smoother bokeh of the Rokkor. Having said that, I will probably keep the Canon FL and sell the Rokkor. As a normal lens, the Canon is more practical as it gets very sharp from f2.0 and I can focus to infinity. The Rokkor is only sharp from f2.8 and you cannot get infinity focus on FF which bothers me quite a bit.

3 more from the CV APO-Lanthar which has become my favorite lens.

Yes. Different strokes, indeed. I thought the FL verged on being horrible. The Rokkor was noticeably better but still not all that great.

m3rocket and burningheart, that Canon 35/1.4L seems to produce nicer bokeh than my 35 Summilux-R, at least in the limited observation I can make here. How is wide open sharpness across the frame? Coma control?

Honestly I hadn't used it much, I had planned on selling it due to lack of use. I usually use the Zeiss ZF 35 but the results of a couple of shots at 1.4 made me change my mind.

Your jealousy is misdirected, it should be towards all those folks including yourself that take such wonderful pictures on this site.

Burningheart, way to make a man jealous!

The 250 looks incredible.

Im also really impressed with the Zeiss 100/2 on g1, colours, contrast and sharpness are pretty superb.

Yes the 250 is fun to use. Finally getting a chance to use it. Picked it up in the winter and didn't have much opportunity to use, but my 5D system is taking second fiddle right now to the G1. I never thought a 2x crop camera would be so much fun, but now that I can use my old FD glass, as well as all my alts (except the 250 haven't got an adapter yet) brings a lot of excitement to such a little package.

Of course he'll listen, but have you been a good boy?

bobbytan - love your shots with the Voigtlander APO
m3rocket - great shots with the 35L
cavewalker - i'll never eat mushrooms again after seeing that shot.Nice picture.
Alex Tokyo - that fondue looks delicious
Anden - beautiful shot of the spectrum on that flower.
Ronan - nice greens in the bathtub of bokeh.

5D, Rocker 58/1.2 @ 1.2

I recently picked this lens up after thinking about it for some time. I converted it with the Jim Buchanan kit very easily. My first impression is that it's a very nice lens. It has great sharpness wide open and seems to handle veiling flare well enough. I also like the colours, which can really be brought to "pop" in post. The bokeh borders on funky sometimes, but I think I like the look and might keep it. I haven't done any shaving or filing of anything, and I can get to the 5m mark before the mirror hits.

Bobby, it sounds like you got a very bad copy of the Rokkor. I just received mine and I have to say it is (like many others say) quite sharp right from wide open, and simply astounding by f4.

Thanks Burningheart!
I think this lens will become legendary in a few more years.
The Sony A900 gang are really enjoying it. I am on my 1lds3.

After comparing it to the 135L, one of Canon's best lenses,
this lens is the sharpest lens wide open at 1.8 and sharp
across the frame along with an extra 1/3 stop more of buttery bokeh
than the 135L. Also, alot less LoCA than the 135L.
This lens along with my Leica 100 APO and 180 APO 2.8 lenses are a special set of high resolving glass perfect for the 1ds3.
