I'm in love

With this lens.

f/1.4, 1/1000

f/1.4, 1/500

f/1.4 or 2.0, 1/125

f/5.6, 1/250

All Arista Premium in Diafine, shot with my Nikkor-S 50 1.4 on the Nikon FG.

In my opinion this is the best lens I own, and I wish I had something to equal it on my Bessa.
As always, more on my blog.

You should see the Nikon 50mm f1.2 some people whom I know have. Or the 85/f1.4 AF monster... Really nice, dreamy shots.

You have a good one too!

while I may not see the same special quality in the lens....keep posting stuff taken on the Arista Premium. It is good to see samples of this "new" film, and you seem to be ahead of the curve with it for sure.

I'd like a version of my Pentax-M 50/1.4 for my Bessa...I know how you feel...

Those shots (all very nice) really remind me of the results I get from the 1.4 Nikkor on my Nikon S2 rangefinder ... the OOf areas are a little crazy IMO but I must admit I like it. I gather the optical formula of the SLR lens and the rangefinder lens must be nearly the same?

Damn it ... I'm going to post a rangefinder pic in the Evil SLR forum!

Keith, you've doomed us all! The space-time-camera continuum will collapse!

The photo you posted really captures the crazy oof rendition of that lens well, and I must admit, I like it as well.

I also have one of those. Mine is AI'd and I shoot it on an F and F3P.
Beautiful lens, with beautiful signature, especially on a sunny day.
Does better with B/w than color
