It\'s been a while, nice to see great LR photos as usual here. These were taken last week on my 280 f4 apo / A7r
I really like these pictures. I now wonder if it still makes sense to buy this lens for a Nikon-camera and modify this lens for it. Or are there other more current cheaper options that made this combination more or less obsolete?
Thanks for the comment.
As far as less expensive alternatives, I\'ll echo what others have already said – there\'s no other lens that can match its performance at this focal length. Beyond the resolution its capable of, it seems to render more colors in a scene than other lenses for example. Also holds up very well in harsh lighting where other lenses break-down along bright edges with CA, etc. If you can somehow get your hands on one to test for a week, I highly recommend it. Though it can be Leitaxed for Nikon, there are other alternatives that make more sense. I can\'t wait to use it on an A7rii.
