hi john thanks for your note. Did you manage to score your own FTL? I stumbled on a place in the UK having a sale on their FTL+50/1.4 for UKP65 so picked that...
... I would not doubnt your experience, my result is most wide angle work reasonably well when stop down 1 or 1.5 stop. At wide open, they are usable ( and I...
Maybe you had too much demand : ) Don't forget that the high ISO and 5D is very useful. The ISO 800 is just as good as ISO 200 on my Canon 10D and the Nikon...
the beauty about the 5D is the easy avail. of user-interchangeable screens... impt. for m42 lens use. For a wide-angle, the most famous is the Contax Distagon...
For the bargain great wide angles ( under $300 ) The Flektogon 20mm/2.8 and Pentax 20mm/4 are both quite impressive. The Pentax 17mm/4.5 fish-eye is very too....
Btw, the E-TTL flash also works with M42 lens. I just plugin the 550EX with 5D and the 35mm and 50mm Zeiss lens and it works great. Although it is slightly...
hey fonzzy have you had any issues with rear-element clearance on the 5D ? I've just been reading on the FredMiranda list about leica-R lenses having mirror...
Hi Kevin, I've tried only the 28mm Leica R lens only. I don't have the 15mm, 19mm or the 24mm : ( I didn't have the mirror issue. However, I did noticed...
I'm shopping for 300mm F4 lens. Has anyone compared the Pentax SMC takumar 300mm F4 lens vs the Zeiss MC sonnar 300mm F4 lens? Is it worth paying double for...
You forgot two very good lenses. The Oregestor 4/300mm allthough this is a heavy beast of a lens. Quality wise it is a delight. And the Tair 3phs (Foto-Snaiper...
Personelly, I would go for the SMC Tak 300/4. I don't find the Zeiss MC version particularly superior ... but it will certainly be bulkier. And, I find that...
... And I can suggest, if weight and size are a primary concern and you can do with a smaller aperture, the 300/6.3 Tele-Takumar. It is easily handheld and...
If light and small is an issue, you can look for a mirror lens, like the Rubinar 4,5/300. Vivitar also made a 300 mm mirror lens I believe. Jannes ... From:...
... That's if you don't mind the ring-shaped highlights and poor rendition of out-of-focus areas...where the 300/6.3 Tele-Takumar is very strong. But I can...
Last week I received a 300mm f/5.6 Auto-Revuenon lens in M42 mount. I can't yet comment on performance as I haven't had a chance to take any pictures with it....
I've decided to get the SMC takumar 300mm F4. Sometimes I did find some photos taken with single coating looks better than multicoating version of the same...
"In theory". what may be more important is the use of an adequate hood. i'm not sure the supplied one is adequate. Date: Tue, 08 Nov 2005 02:54:28 -0000 From:...
Hi Kelvin, I do not think, or believe it is theory, I believe it is fact. No matter what the lens formula or whether or not it is MC'ed, a proper lens shade ...
hi all i have some Oly FTL and Fujinon M42 lenses which will not mount flat on my m42/eos adapter due to their metering pins/ridges on their lensmount intended...
I took these photos the day after hurricane Wilma came thru my town (10/25/05). Color was Kodak High Definition 400 film and BW was Tmax 400 film. Both shot...

Indeed very sharp and nice render of image and color. Half of the weight of my Zeiss 180mm 2.8 However, min distance is 18 ft (5.5 meter ) I guess I can't use...
You can always put a short extension tube on the 300mm lenses if you know you are going to be working close up but always stop way down because the minimum...

This is a rather perculiar looking Jupiter-6. 180/2.8 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7559534075 Does anyone know anything about it? It...
