List of Sonnar Lenses

Added the Zeiss 5.8cm f/1.5.

This was taken by my marred, scratched J3 as a test shot - I have a roll needing a photo lab that has a function machine (they're ALL out of service here!)

And, BTW, the ZM 85/2 (even though called "Sonnar") is a double Gauss design.

Oh...say it ain't so...

We need some nice photos to go with the lenses!

Anyone knows what the Fujinons' designs were (3.5cm f/2, 5cm f/1.2, 5cm f/2 L, 5cm f/2.8 L, 10cm f/2)?

Just to make sure, did you mean photos of the lenses or photos by the lenses?

Both! Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos.

If that's from a marred, scratched J3, I reckon it's worth a CLA/front element or whatever it needs doing

Added Zeiss 7.5cm f/4 to the list.

This sample photo was taken when it acted politely. It was erratic. Brian Sweeney kindly helped me out, diagnosed loose elements and other ills - he took it apart, grinding, shaping, re-tightening and replacing... can't wait to get it back and take it out for another spin.

21) Nikkor 135/3.5 ............................ $150

are we sure about this?
I was trying this out during the weekends. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/singaporepictures/tags/nikon135mmf35nikonrf/ .
Results quite positive to me.

Added Jupiter 12 35mm f/2.8.

 

[dexdog]

J-12 is not a Sonnar design, being a copy of the pre-WW2 Zeiss Biogon.

Anyone knows whether the Tanaka 5cm f/2 is a Sonnar or not?

 

[rxmd]

Added Jupiter 12 35mm f/2.8.

Why? I thought you wanted Sonnar designs, and this...

...isn't one.

Is the Topcor 5cm f/1.5 a Sonnar also?

The Japanese said it's half Sonnar/half Gauss. Signature is closest to the Canon50f1.5 (of all the four 50mm Sonnars that I have). Physically, looks very much like Canon50f1.5 but heavier. I paid about $700 for it.

Canon50f1.5 @f1.5

Topcor50f1.5 @f1.5

Zeiss50f1.5 @f1.5

Nikkor50f1.4 @f1.4 (Nikkor's Glow )
