Are the f/2 and f/2.8 similar in rendering? d.s. wrote:
They're different. My time with the C-Biogon on film probably wouldn't make for a fair comparison, but I'll try to take a few shots for you on my A7Riii over the weekend.
I've uploaded a 400mb zip file, https://www.daniel-savage.com/comparison.zip, which I'll leave up for a few weeks, It contains 3 sample rendering images comparing the C-Biogon and FE 35/1.4 Nokton. There's a text file providing details. Though, note by "right" I mean "left."
Beyond that it's worth noting that the induced field curvature is pronounced at f/8. As others who own or have used the lens on the A7/9* lines likely know, it does not make for an good companion.
While less telling than the RAW files, here are a few samples at f/2.8, f/5.6, and f/8, respectively.
