p.2 #2 · Major 50mm and 58mm shootout 2! | |
Thanks for doing this test. Well done!
My conclusion on the most recent group (55-58); the Konica 57 and Minolta 58 really do perform incredibly as substitutes for the very expensive Noct-Nikkor. The Noct will always have the advantage with point light sources at night, but that's really the only ace up its sleeve. The Rokkor's advantage over the Konica is compatibility; they both require conversion, but the Konica requires a much heavier mirror shave on one's 5D.
Later I'll have to compare these all to the 50s, too...
Thanks again! I think I have almost chosen which one I will get.
EDIT:
After a quick look at the 50s, it is easy for me to see that the only 50 that compares favorably to the Konica 57, Rokkor 58 and Noct 58, regarding bokeh, is the EF 50L. The EF 50L also seems to have more DOF than the 55-58 group (which makes sense, of course).
Now I am certain which one I will buy.
