p.1 #1 · Testing Biometar Lens


I got this 80mm 2.8 biometar lens Carl Zeiss Jena for my Exakta 66 MOD III
camera. I was immediately disappointed with the tests I run on low light. I got
a converter for the Canon EOS 5D and tested it further on plenty of sunlight.

I want your opinion on the bokeh since that was mainly the reason I purchased
them. I tweeked the color (warm them up) and did not touch the sharpness of
it. Your opinion appreciated.

I think I see what you mean. Keep in mind that great bokeh is to a large extent determined by the details in the background. None of the shots would show great bokeh: the 1st shot has a fairly dark background, and the other two have rather harsh contrast/highlights. May I recommend trying on other subjects?
