Cool timing on those maroon cars.

Many excellent pictures again these last pages everyone! Don't think I have ever put so many likes in one go before.

This one might give you an idea of the bokeh of the 35 F/2. I was walking back along the beach dicing with the waves that were coming in onto the only hard sand that offered easy walking - I set it on F/2.8 from memory, set the focus at about 3 m, and took a couple to explore the effect.

Thanks for the samples!

That looks strange indeed, edges look quite a bit more in focus than the center.

As I said before I'm not really bothered all that much by far corner sharpness. What does bother me is the behavior of the FE 28-70 for instance. My copy at least had a very sharp center, then a less sharp donut ring, then an area of greater sharpness again before sharpness falling off in the corners again. I have seen this behavior from a few other lenses too.

Agnostic wroteNice pictures! The FE 28 looks good. Still debating if I will get one...

I do like the FDn 28/2 a lot though.
I'm with you on that - I think its a under-rated lens - the FD 35 F/2 the same...

Haven't tried the FD 35/2 yet but I'm keeping an eye out for one. I suppose you are referring to the concave version?
I have the so-called new FD 35 F/2, and I find it a fantastic performer - sharp into the corners from about 5.6 and with very little purple fringing. It's very similar overall to the 28 F/2 though I find the far corners on the 28 not quite as good. There's an assessment of the 35 F/2 on an A7R at http://erphotoreview.com/wordpress/?p=4364.

Some old pics and some re-post about wonderful Canon FDn 35mm f/2... especially for bokeh aspect...

Thanks for the samples Manuel! Is that a concave or convex version of the 35/2?

Rene and Bob, not only do these shots make me want to visit Gruyere -- and we just got back from a vacation to Basel and Bern -- but Bob the 3030 brought back memories, as it was my first foray into digital. I remember waiting specifically until the digital cameras got to 3mp, thinking OK, now they are ready for prime time. How things have changed.

oh Michael. you are in Switzerland ? I'm very close from Bern . if you have time let me know.

Another nice round everyone. And thank you Gregg and Philippe!

Fantastic landscape shots Rene!

More shots from the botanical garden with the L50AA, got around to PP these a bit, and I realized my diminished interest in this kind of settings.

The pics and lens options continue to impress!
Bob - I think a CV 15 MkIII is going to be my next purchase - thanks to you! BTW I think your Lovepower Church pic would really look great with some vertical correction applied.

The 28 FE really has me thinking as well - and the 21mm addition is a pleasant surprise. Hope to see more of those pics!

Still grinding through my Patagonia pics - here are 3 more with A7r and 24-70 FE. It was a flat light day - but then you have to go with what you have!

Thanks on the CV 15 MkIII. I love this lens, especially it's size. I used to shoot the Zeiss Distagon 15 ZE which, although stellar, is so large compared to the CV. Very happy with this lens.

BTW - I can't see your images . . . I think it's the firewall here at the office. Can't wait to see them later.


Here's a little vertical correction on that image:

Thankyou very much your very valued comments. and a great compliment to you photo artist!


some pictures with the FE28 and FE28 + 21 converter. Today, Lake Murten. The images are artistically without claim. my focal length is not really 21 mm. But the converter remains in my collection. It was so hot (31°). therefore more in the water as the photograph

Thanks guys for the encouraging words. But the reality is that most everyone on this thread can do this - we have the equipment, PP skills and practice - from there its just composition and location. Just drop us into a place like Patagonia and we all will be dazzled!

Yep - I think vertical correction is a useful tool with UWA.
My pics are hosted at PBase. Some IT Administrators think its a porn site. . . maybe lens porn!

WRT the 24, both it and the 20 are also tested at the site I put the link in for, and the corners don't come in all that well for either - I have the 20, and I use it only because I don't have an alternative. I'm hopeful that Mr Zeiss will expand the Loxia or Batis lines in that direction. John

You're welcome. It is convex version FDn (FD new)... not radioactive
My copy was built in 1980 (Data code = U) but is in a perfect (incredible) condition and the optical performance is impressive... the only flaw is that it suffers a little with flares.
