MikeL said:I like the cron asph as well. I'd heard some people bag on it before buying, but I've been happy. I'm pulling mine from the classifieds since no one is interested. I remember seeing Jim Arnold's site and liking the asph. Like Tom said the transition to OOF occurs sooner behind the focal point but I've rarely had the background be distracting or 'funky'.
Tim Arnold's comparison
but your new 50mm ASPH does have a tab!!!
Dear Alkis - funny how to my eye the differences are Earth-shattering!! 🙂 Even between the two ASPHs - but Platinum moved in a little on the vase for his ASPH 'cron shot with respect to his ASPH 'lux one, and I suspects he captured a yellowish reflection in so doing.
As we've said before, the ASPH 'lux's macro-contrast is 'gentler'.
The one I like the least based on these shots is the 'cron (IV). I've yet to see a photograph taken with this lens whose tonality is not 'indifferent' - to my eyes.
Dear Vladimer - but your new 50mm ASPH does have a tab!!! 😕
By the way, I just called over a colleague at work - no involvement in photography apart from P&S on holidays, etc. - and asked him what he thought of the two ASPH shots. He compared, reflected for twenty seconds, and said: 'the first one is more realistic, the second more artistic'. He had to leave so we didn't continue.
