I bought this lens when it was still very expensive, I think I paid 3k at least. What was my body? Nex-5! Everyone laughed at me, and thought I was crazy. But 28 x 1.5 = 42mm. Perfect Normal. That's what I needed. The Nex loved the lens.
Big buzzword today is "color science", which supposedly Canon has and Sony doesn't
What we know is the lens is a big part of it. Case in point, Lenticular, is that v1 35/1.2. It's a fantastic lens, WO or stopped down. But it has it's own ideas about colors and you will never make it imitate the palette of, say an FLE, no matter what you do. Which reminds me I still crave a FLE ...Show more →
Very nice sets of shots you posted Charlie. My curiosity asks which 9 stop ND did you use on the shots with the 75? I love the black and whites especially with the water running around the car. I like how all of them turned out.
Michael, I forgot to thank you for your reference to the colour in my 'lights shot' using the CV50. I did tweak the orange/yellow a little using the awesome capabilities of Capture One Pro.

I think what we all know here: it's the glass. The job of the body is to get out of the way!

Moto GP pics - well, I am only carrying a Fuji X-T1 and a Nikon 135 f/2.8 manual lens (it's all about the lens as you say), but I'll do my best.
Yes, I agree that the CV35 f/1.2 has it's own colour ideas!
Nex-5: I still have some very special to me shots from a business trip to Washington DC. I took shots in my free time using a Nex-5N, G90 and G45.
Two quick photos before I get on my bike...

Edward: gotta love the M7 in color. There's the DR we lost in digital
Lenticular: Like everybody I have/had a bunch of 135mm lenses. I was given this one, and at first I seldom used it due to size and some nice other options. But it's been in use alot this fall. Just like the one Bjorn reviewed in his big Nikon lens list. A7rii seems to love the thing No native sony lens remotely as sexy Looks like it was built for the body. It has the sweetness of those original RF nikons, like the incredible 85/2. The edgy nikon look that came with the 55 micro and 180ED is absent, TYG. I can't use my favorite 135 with the rii, as it's bloated grip blocks the 135 elmarit M at mount. Another corporate oversight
Burning Heart: I bought this with the lens, the guy had picked it out. Nd filter by unoh7, on Flickr
I should say, though alot of you know, the 75 Lux is two faced. There is the WO face, and there is everything else. Even on M9 it can seem oversharp from F2 down. It's a journalist's lens. At 5.6 I doubt many 75s today could beat it, in terms of resolution. Also many poor copies. Many damaged in CLAs because of the glue. Caveat Emptor.
