From my last wedding: 20D + super-multi-coated Takumar 50mm f1.4 probably around f2.8 (ISO 400 1/250s) (web conversion softens things a bit - eyes are very sharp)

Nikkor 105/2.5 AIS on D700, all wide open with a polarizer.

Edit: That voigtländer 90/3.5 seems to give very similar bokeh to the 105/2.5. Really interesting lens that I'd love to try.

I was not able to find any CA on pics by CV 90/3.5...
Is Nikkor 105/2.5 same as well?

I love those last two, Whayne.

#3 of your previous post seems to have a blue fringe along the right side of that light post.

And now for something unusual. The Samyang 85/1.4 on FF! Totally amazing performance wide open, with a character that very much resembles the Sigma 50/1.4 HSM, but at a longer FL.

f/1.4 on D700:

100% crop showing both great sharpness and very smooth bokeh even at large distance, which is very uncommon:

Take a closer look at the second shot. Where is the vignetting?!

That indeed looks great! How is the size on that compared to the 85 1.4 AF-D?

I'm not sure, but it is quite small for being such a fast lens. The filter thread is 72 mm and the rest of the lens is a bit smaller. The build is also better than I'd expected. The only major drawbacks I can see so far is that the focus ring is too stiff and that the shade fits poorly.

I'll be back with some more examples tomorrow.

I decided to have a play with my new 1:2-1:1 elpro for the Leica 100/2.8 APO macro but the wind is blowing a gale outside and I quickly became frustrated. The DOF at 1:1 and f/2.8 is tiny!

Huh! Looks great, actually, from these and the plethora of other samples everywhere.
I just looked and it seems that even Adorama is selling it under the Vivitar Series 1 name? I wish it didn't have those horrible red accents but I might go check it out in-store next week. http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=searchresults&searchinfo=VV8514

If you've got more samples I'd love to see them.

More from the Samyang 85/1.4 wide open on D700. I couldn't ask for better performance even if it was like ten times more expensive.

Edit: Ah, nice timing.

It's probably the same lens with a different name. I haven't used it much yet, but I hope to take it out "for real" tomorrow.

Too bad with the 1 meter MFD, but I'll bring a short tube.

Looks like poor man Canon L :-) Are there any reviews available? For 350 it looks tempting.

Found a size comparison:

I think I'll just stick to my 85 1.4 AF-D, since it is not _that_ much bigger/heavier.

hah, indeed! But even uglier

B&H has it too, and there's a detailed review here; http://www.lenstip.com/166.1-Lens_review-Samyang_85_mm_f_1.4_Aspherical_IF__Introduction.html I'll be buying one next week probably, there's also a ton of info here on FM and elsewhere if you search it under the brands Rokinon, Bower & Polar.

Thanks for more samples!
