Hey Jonas, awesome thread you've started here! Great idea with the index. Do you still have the 50 Cron and 80 Lux? (...)
Hi there Carsten, and Welcome.
That's some cool Ziess - Voigtländer stuff you posted! That's the way my dad bored us kids to death a long time ago... the screen with a yellow cast on to it, an old projector where he switched the frame every time he dragged the slider and the family on the floor, falling asleep...
I, and I regret it, sold the 80Lux when i sold my first 5D. Now I wish I had kept that lens as it is truly great. The 50Cron I still have. It is a good standard performer working as a refernce and when i want that pleasing rendering.
The Index seem to work fine, no? And now you are in there... Cheers, /Jonas

Here are some minimum focusing distance shots taken with the Leica 90AA, it is said that this lens is no good at MFD,

Thank you thrice, and
The 90CronAA at MFD, that's funny as that is the way the thread started!I have since then sold my one and replaced it with a Zuiko OM 90/2 Macro. Pros and cons. Cheers, /Jonas
I'm sorry but I don't get it and I sure wish I was smarter and more witty. I tried a Zebra lens once but never heard about a macaroni lens. What title? Maybe it doesn't matter.
Jonas, I think he just means macro lens, jokingly. My Zeiss FE 110/2 is without the square baffle. I have never seen an authoritative guide to 110/2 versions, but since it is slightly older than John Black's old 110/2, I guess mine might be a 4th edition. I think the first three were F, not FE, but I am not sure there either.
From time to time I look at the 80 Lux and think about buying one again, as well as the 100/2.8 Macro, the 180/2 and 280/4, but in the end it makes little sense, with no camera to put them on and get much more than with my M8. Maybe one day with a high-megapixel R10...
Love your macro shots Andreas, and the portraits are good too. If the 35L didn't suffer from CA so much I'd probably get one, great in a portrait setting though!
Jonas, page 41 Dimitri's shots are with the Konica Hexanon AR 57mm f1.2 (slr lens) not the 50mm f1.2 hexanon (rangefinder lens).
Carsten; Yes, you are right. He probably means a 100/2.8 Macro. That leaves us to guess among at least 3 optically different lenses. Guess the lens -games can be fun but that is not the idea behind this thread.
There are many beautiful and desirable lenses, and cameras. The 80Lux definitely is one of them. I'm happy for the time I had it and wouldn't mind owning one again - but wth, you can't have them all and if they don't see any use it does little sense just having them standing on a shelf.
Anden; The different Pentax 50/1.4 incarnations do foreground OOF subjects better than background OOF stuff in my experience. I guess this also is depending on relative distances between the camera and the subject and so on.

Thank you Daniel. I was not too bothered by the CA with the 35L. It is a great lens overall.
