Sonnar Formula Lenses: Any Focal Length, Any Make, Any Mount, Any Camera

He has been pushed out of here (and another place) before. While he came back, I do not know/understand _why_ he left this time as I only discovered it when I went to ask him a question by DM as was my usual thing. He did Not delete the account previously so this time was more serious.

I have been carefully considering if I should stay here myself as a result. RFF w/out Brian is a much less valuable resource.

Again. I am drawn to the first because of the skin tones. It is at f/4.0 which means focus shift which I did not compensate for. The second is becuase I just love the colors of the hulls. Skyllaney has done a great job in creating this lens.

I post this, again, for the flesh tones. To audition sound systems bring vocals. We all know what voices sound like. I think flesh tones work the same for evaluating lenses. This is a old friend. He had lost his razor.

Probably at f/4.0 or f/5.6, focus shift zones, and I did not compensate. On an M240.
