Thank you all for the Biotar information. Intriguing lens. I might have to hunt for it..
I am also impressed with the Nokton 58/1.4’s bokeh rendering. Much smoother than expected. And the Takumar! It is so great to see variety of MF lenses adapted to Z sys. Happy shooting, and share more images!
Just testing out the focus on my new Z8 - my son just sprinting towards me. Great accuracy with the Z 85/1.8. Not all that great with the Tamron 70-300mm, which I didn't really buy as a sports lens, but was curious about how it would perform in that arena. It is not a sports lens. Still got a couple in focus.
I was a little late getting out the door this morning so the light was already pretty harsh by the time I got down to the beach, but the Z7II seemed to handle it pretty well.
