Advertisement Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Hi Milan_S, Take a look here Thambar-Crazy. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
BEG Posted February 2, 2022 Share #1182 Posted February 2, 2022 I am thinking of purchasing a Thambar for its unique qualities (as illustrated so beautifully in this discussion/photo thread). But I am curious about its other characteristics. Specifically, how sharp is it when stopped-down? How well does it serve as a general 90mm travel lens? Thanks very much.

I don't think it would be great as a travel lens. It's pretty heavy and manipulating it is a bit cumbersome. If you like 90mm, I'd consider the 90 macro with extender. for travel. The only drawback there is it doesn't open up very far. But the macro is a great tool to have on hand, IMO, for something like travel. The 85mm Summarex is a great lens, can give you soft focus, nice bokeh, or quite clear images. It is big and heavy, however. But it is a favorite of mine. On the other hand, if you used a Thambar for travel, your photos wouldn't look like everyone else's. That would be nice. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEG Posted February 3, 2022 Share #1184 Posted February 3, 2022 Thanks very much for the travel advice. I'm used to lugging around the three SL Varios, as well as my 75mm Noctilux, so a 500g Thambar may seem light by comparison! I'll let you know if I purchase it, take it with me to Rome, and capture some unique travel photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I feel the same: For some photos it works great, for others not really... The donuts remind me of the Mirror telephoto lenses 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsleica Posted February 7, 2022 Share #1186 Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) I was thinking about buying the Thambar this year.. Got the Lensbaby Velvet instead. So glad I did.. $400- or so.. And comes in 28mm/50mm/85mm.. Thambar is nice.. But if you need a SF lens.. I would seriously consider the Velvet series instead. Built very well & solid. Images are stellar! Really....a no brainer for this type of lens. I got the 28mm..soft focus at wider apertures..is also is a macro lens..and sharp stopped down. Ticked too many boxes for me to ignore..

Wonzo Posted May 28, 2022 Share #1193 Posted May 28, 2022 M10R, Lens stopped down to f/3.2, which brings more sharpness and still an interesting, blurry background. Welcome, dear visitor!
