1) [shoplink 22592 ebay]Voigtlander 12mm f5.6 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
From a pure esthetic point of view the camera lens combination looks superb. But the image quality isn’t really good if you look at the corners. Smearing, vignetting color shift…everything is there :)
2) [shoplink 22593 ebay]Carl Zeiss Distagon 18mm f4 ZM (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
Has the same issues as the Voigtlander 12mm
3) Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8L (at Amazon) with Metabones EF to E-mount smart adapter:
Perfect results!
4) [shoplink 22595 ebay]Olympus OM 50mm f1.4 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
Great quality and great bokeh!
5) [shoplink 22597 ebay]Canon new FD 20mm f2.8 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
Corners show the usual issues
6) [shoplink 22598 ebay]Canon FD 28mm f2.8 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
Much better performance than the 20mm. Definitely useable!
7) [shoplink 22599 ebay]canon fd 85mm f1.2L (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
Superb results and bokeh.
8) [shoplink 22600 ebay]Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f1.4 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
A little suprise for me. I expected the lens to perform bad but it’s rather good! This may be one of my favorite lenses. Very compact and cheap and also fast.
9) [shoplink 22601 ebay]Nikon ais 135mm f2.0 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
Great quality
10) [shoplink 22603 ebay]Leica Summicron 35mm f2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
Shows some heavy vignetting but otherwise a very good image quality and no smearing.
11) [shoplink 22604 ebay]Carl Zeiss C/Y 85mm f1.4 made in Germany (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
Absolutely great lens
12) canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L (here at Amazon) with Metabones EF to E-mount smart adapter
Great!
13) Canon EF 200mm f2.8 L I (here at Amazon) with Metabones EF to E-mount smart adapter
Also great!
