Great pictures from Steve and Andreas!
Nikon S2, Nikkor-S.C 50mm f/1.4, 400-2TMY/Adox MCC 110.
The old Nikkor is also a Sonnar.

Thanks, Erik! And more great photos from you, too!

You are very much right again Erik! I don't remember for sure if mine had a haze which, surprisingly, I was able to get rid of mostly?
because the lens looked quite clean when I took it's photo:
Canon LTM f1.5/50mm by andreas, on Flickr
but right now, I just checked it, it has a rather strong haze across the full diameter of an inner element!
Makes me think that it may have had the same haze all along and that I took that photo of the lens in a way so that it does not show much of it.
Not cleanable alright, nevertheless I may open it one of these days to see if I can get rid just a bit of the haze.
With haze, it is always difficult. The Summaron 35mm f/3.5 from Leitz also suffers from it, but that is easy to remove. After some time however, it is again there.
Steve, thank you for your compliment!
Erik.

My sample of the Canon 50/1.5 LTM is very clean. Some recent photos taken with that lens are in posts 155 and 162 above. Here's another one:

My non-Serenar Canon 50/1.5 developes haze periodically on the lens surface just behind the aperture blades. Thankfully, it wipes off easily. Most of the coating on this surface looks to have been eaten away by fungus long ago, so I assume that's why the haze always reappears.

that makes all the difference..haze that can easily be removed! ( unlike that of my M-Rokkor f2.8/28mm )
I guess it had some haze when I took this last year, here I like the effect

Right Peter, thank you so much for your expertise! Mine also says Canon, not Serenar, I just had opened it and wiped it clean. Had done that before, remembered when opening, also noticing that, for easy cleaning, I had not tightened it very strongly

love it Erik, the many layers and depth, the unique main subjects and here including you. By now you have made deep enough impression that it will happen that I will try to imitate some of that 😉
Amazing that it's new, I'd rather expected that it had been taken 30 or 40 years ago.

Steve, more gorgeous photos from you and your Zeiss Jena Sonnar! It gave me momentary GAS, until I checked some used prices online. 😱 I'll just enjoy vicariously through your posts.

I'm particularly admiring the strong technical and artistic qualities of this shot, Steve. A very good performance by the lens and the human behind it.

re: "Bingley"
Steve, your pics almost always have dense content front to back, not just in the foreground.
Complex design...very interesting work.
