Konica 50mm and Topcor 5cm LTM

[dexdog]

A few more pics with the two lenses. All are shot at f4, focus peaking. I have no idea how these lenses would compare on film, but the Konica definately renders cooler/more blue colors on the Sony a7III, reminds me of the Canon 50/1.4 in this regard. Out of curiousity I took a few images with each lens on the Nikon Z6, and the Konica has cooler colors with the Nikon, too.

Sorry about the uneven framing, these were all hand-held and I probably got out of position juggling lenses.

I know those Cannons...

The Topcor really impressed me. I have a really clean black Canon 50/1.8, need to compare those two.

Yeah, I think that the Topcor/Canon shootout would be fun. A tough one though, given that both lenses have reputations as excellent performers. I think that the Topcor-S is kind of a "sleeper", a really good lens that is not given enough exposure/credit. Also, does barrel distortion in a lens vary with apeture? I thought I saw some barrel distortion in the Konica pic in post #23, opened it in GIMP, and sure enough it is there. This pic taken at f4, would it be worse at f1.9?
