Re: Polar 85mm 1.4 Aspherical


Hi guys,

I bought it, and it\'s impressive. It has outperformed my Nikkor 85mm f1.4 wide open.

Here\'s a quick comparison I did between the two lenses.

Make sure to push pause on the player so that you can take your time reviewing the images. I\'ll upload the full size images to Flickr later (that will be for those pixel peepers amongst our ranks).

Man, I wish I had known about this lens before. I paid about the equivalent of 247US for it. That\'s about 1/2 of what my AIS lens cost me. And it feels like it weighs about half as much as the AIS, too!

I\'ll post a full review over the weekend.

Alt glass lovers...watch out, this lens is just the beginning...there are rumors the whole Vivitar Series 1 line is going to be redone...what awesome timing, now that FX is on the horizon for us mere mortals!
