p.3 #1 · ROKKOR Wide/UlW Image Thread

Yes, due to refraction of the glass, also the thickness is a factor (thicker = puts focus point more rearward) essentially a "slowing" of the light, puts the focus at a different place than it would be otherwise. it only applies to filters at the back (or middle) of the lens, not the front. There's an optical formula that allows calculation of it but I don't have it offhand. It's why sometimes you see "thick" elements that could otherwise not have so much glass "doing nothing" in the middle of the element. It's done to move the image back, mostly seen in retrofocus lenses.

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. I cleaned a lens for a friend not too long ago (The Sigma AF 24mm f/2.8, Nikon mount) and there was a doublet with a lens on top and a loooong straight that was as you say "doing nothing" - just shifting a node. When I saw that I wondered why they didn't just make the lens more of a pancake - but then again maybe this element is different lengths in the different mounts to compensate for the different flange depths. <shrug>

Some on-line images of the lens being discussed.

Not a very sharp lens BTW... Rather mediocre all around...

This needs an injection of photos. 3 from the MD Rokkor 28/2 55mm filter on a 5d. Probably between f5.6 and f8. Standard processing and less/no saturation pumping outside of my regular raw defaults.

Thanks all! We had a couple of super spectacular days where the air was really dry, which made for even better than normal shooting conditions. Glad you enjoyed them.

i think i will definitely like this lens, though i'm a bit concerned - the rear element has a lot of cleaning marks.

thanks! i started doing those types of shots just to get a feel for new lenses bokeh (what is the plural of bokeh?), but i really like how they work out with my rokkor 50/1.4 and 28/2. i'm slowly building a portfolio of random weed abstracts covering the entire color palette.
