lars_bergquist Posted October 29, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 29, 2009 That is pretty well my memory of it, too -- this old four-element design is reasonably sharp 'old time style' but not really crisp. The old man from the Age of the PLOOT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
telewatt Posted October 29, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 29, 2009 nice shot!... I like the perfect soft looking "out of focus" zones...this was one of the reasons for me to use the lens on my R9-DMR too.... regards, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old man from the Age of the PLOOT Agree, especially when you compare the shot done with the 65mm with this by the Elmarit 90 F4. Both have their strengths I think. Welcome, dear visitor!

jc_braconi Posted October 29, 2009 Share #6 Posted October 29, 2009 In this case difficult to compare as the second is pretty well parallel to the lens and the first not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydrxx Posted October 31, 2009 Share #7 Posted October 31, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I found it soft wide open, but reasonably sharp closed down to f8. Welcome, dear visitor!

George Furst Posted December 6, 2009 Share #9 Posted December 6, 2009 Which of the Elmar 65mm lens are you using? The latter was supposed to have better optics but I have the earlier one and I really like the lens. The later lens is usually black in color.

pierovitch Posted December 6, 2009 Share #10 Posted December 6, 2009 I find the qualities of these lenses are more versatile in a digital age. If the resolution is there the contrast can be adjusted to taste sort of like a digital Kodachrome filter. But i have used this lens for weddings on colour negative with wonderful skin rendition. If you try to soften the contrast of some modern lenses the effect is just fuzzy without the beautiful transitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted December 6, 2009 Share #11 Posted December 6, 2009 I never found my chrome to be soft. That said, the black one, which is a later design, seems sharper into the corners and has a flat field, way flatter than the chrome, and I have sucessfully used it as an enlarging lens. Infinity requires 5.6 or 8 to be sharp. It is definately biased to close up range. Might add I use the black one on a Nikon D200 for flowers and such where it works very well.
