Charles, it took me years to appreciate the 50 cron. What you show, and what few realize, is the lens is so good close. According to Puts it actually outperforms the 50 Lux ASPH at MFD. Yet that seems to take nothing away from incredible infinity performance at 5.6 +
Charlie, very nice! Yes I would like to see the curves for the 50 Cron IV. As you mentioned Puts mentions that the 50 Cron IV is indistinguishable from the 50 Lux Asph at comparable f stops on the M9. In essence the 50 Cron IV for whatever reasons seems unaffected by the thicker glass on the sensor with the A7rII whereas the 50 Lux Asph is problematic. I would have thought the 50 Cron IV having been designed for film may not behave well.
I have sold recently my two 50 Cron DR which was a favorite of mine as it seem to lose a lot of edge definition with the A7rII whereas with the A7s it was fine.
The other issue is getting the adapters right. The 50 Cron IV has amazing detail catching ability and the adapter has to be right. I tested 3 VM-E adapters and the last one was fine. I am in the market for a backup 50 Cron IV as this lens is so small/light, I prefer this lens to just about anything else when I travel light.
Portrait shot this afternoon with 50 Cron IV and A7rII @f/2.0 of Marisa on our long weekend. Default sharpening to \"0\", and contrast reduced by -20. WB balanced adjusted.
