Sample photos from various lenses

[venchka]

During a recent 35mm Summicron discussion the idea of a place to post examples from various lenses was put forward.

I'm going to start the ball rolling with threads for a few of my lenses. I will start separate threads for each lens. No need to comment.

I hope these threads become simply a place to post pictures sorted by maker, focal length, maximum aperture and approximate date of manufacture if known. This should make searching for examples of a particular easier.

I will place the photos in the appropriate forum, i.e. Canon, Leica M, C/V, etc.

Cheers!

It's going well

The idea seems to be working well after just one day. We need more lenses. I started threads for my little collection of lenses. I know there are a lot more lenses out there that need a thread of their own. Summilux, Ultron, Nokton, Summitar, Summicrons wide & long, Elmarits, Canons wide-normal & long, Nikons...where are you?

We did get a bit carried away with talk about the Nikkor 50/1.4. No worries, it's all entertaining and informative. Perhaps discussions of that sort could reference the Examples only thread?

This idea is good, Wayne. My PN portfolio is mostly arranged by lens brand/type and not by topics.

I think the big guys upstairs should add a section to the gallery for this

Did you ever try a search in the gallery area on lenstype and see what comes up? .. you might be amazed!

Thanks for the tip. I searched for 35mm Summicron & got a zillion samples! I'm going to go back and add the lens data to my gallery postings.

I see we now have a 90mm Tele-Elmarit section going.
