Faster than f/2 24's ?

[CameraQuest]

I am doing a bit of research. What full frame 24's for any 35mm camera are faster than f/2? The Canon 24/1.4 is probably the fastest.

Thanx

Most likely. The Fuji Natura is f/1.9, but you know that. 😉

I've been curious about the Natura for some time, mainly because of its small size and HUGE aperture. I'm mostly curious about how well it handles a fast black and white film in very low light...such as a bar. Something like Neopan 1600 or similar...

But what's the actual DX coded resolution on Neopan? Is it 1600 or something lower?

Sigma made a series of lenses all with 1.8 that included 20mm, 24mm and 28mm, I believe it was early 2000s
I had the 28mm f1.8 in Nikon mount.
here is an example:

While your at it, How about 21mm faster than F2.0 ? I'd like to get my hands on an Olympus F2.0 OM for my RD1 .

I have the Canon 24/1.4 and I have one word to describe it........BIG.

Stephanie,

my last rolls were coded at 1600. That sort of limits the usefulness of automatic ASA setting, but then the point of coding B/W film in the first place is somewhat debatable.
