Gerard Posted May 15, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 15, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anyone have any experience with either the MS Mode-s 1.3 or Sonnetar 1.1 50s? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Hi Gerard, Take a look here MS Optical 50s. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Ecar Posted May 16, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2013 Yes. I have the Sonnetar. There were a few threads in the forum about this lens and how it compares to other fast 50s. Use the forum's search function and you should find them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted May 17, 2013 From what I've now seen of the Sonnetar; the harsh bokeh is not for me. That said; does the coma ring adjustment make much difference? Couldn't find anything on the Mode-s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find anything on the Mode-s. Understand. No, the coma adjustment doesn't change the nature of the bokeh fundamentally. I like the lens mostly for the small size and the fun/challenge of using it. The bokeh is what it is, not unlike some fast lenses of old. I like the results better when converting to b&w. Can't be of any help regarding the 50/1.3, I'm afraid. IIRC, it was a Sonnar design produced (a decade ago?) in very small numbers for both Leica M and Nikon RF mounts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
