Mike Johnston on the 50 Planar

[Tom A]

Hi!
Just a quick test of Bokeh from the 50/f2 Planar and from the Nokton 40/f1,4 SC as comparison.

Shot with Agfa 400S Surveillance film. Silver Image in UK sold this film cheap and a friend gave me 2 cans of it (320 feet).

"I have to admit, I still would pay more attention to a 'favorite' lens declaration from Erwitt, Salgado, or Pellogrin ... or our own Beniliam, Nachkebia, Hanz, Tuna, X-ray, Larby etc ... (I am no doubt leaving many talented photogs out, but the list is actually quite full on RFF) ... simply because these photogs are shooters."

Miek:

Great to see another shooter here. Please post some of your images and favorite stories behind them. I would love to know more about your work.

Best regards,

The designers all use the same auto design PC based software, which you can 'nudge' if you are clever, the design is optimised for production cost.

The last cron uses a similar grouping to the new planar, differences are not going to be big unless you believe the ad hype.

We believe everything our politicos say dont we?
