good spacing between the various focus distances which results in nice precision to the focus
it still operates smoothly
Great color

for a corner-to-corner tack-sharp lens
still attached
it is a tad front heavy

Everything is a little bit hazy
This site uses Akismet to reduce spam
The details look a bit bit smeared as a result
knurled metal focus ring
the focus ring not only has a tab but is also
not made to the same tight tolerances
glow on the highlights is blinding
Their vintage lenses can take a beating for sure
This is frustrating when shooting moving targets
fuji cropped sensor - disappointingly soft wide open
the lens has a massively bulbous focus surface
the high resolution images on smug mug
magenta tint to the right of the stars
Vignetting is fairly severe wide open
the price tag is a bit high
slowed down my posting at dpreview
the color is not as nice as your process
each artists pencil draws differently
Vignetting is noticeable at wider apertures
the edges are still soft
PANASONIC LUMIX G LENS
the adapter is only half as thick as the usual old SLR adapters
Colors are a bit dull and flat sometimes
contrast loss from transmission loss degrades image quality severely
SC version really not that great for color photography
not suited for color or the reproduction will not be optimized
you lose electronic contact information
you lose the ability for the camera to tell when you are focusing
