Thanks! Its uncropped but I did adjust curves and desaturate in LR2 Maybe I am lucky and have a good copy ofthis lens. This lens also seemed very sharp on film.
From this afternoon, a portrait with the CV 50/1.1 Nokton wide open. I have included the color and B&W. I do like the Nokton for the more dream like rendering of portraits.
Very nice Charles. You handle the 50/1.1 really well. If I could have gotten images that good out of mine, I probably would have kept it. I really like that you have the same model for these different lenses. It makes for a very good comparison of the rendering differences.
Thank you Rod Having the same and willing model is a bonus. She is a sales coord of mine, so indirectly I employ her doubling as "willing model" My fiancee has given up, the modelling that is.
Contrast looks great, and sharpness per se, is not everything. The sharpness looks good. I really like the look and rendering of #1.
