Hey guys,
I was fairly busy over the past few weeks and couldn’t get as many photos as I would have liked.
Obviously I’m biased, but this is hands down the most exciting and fun lens I’ve used up to now. IQ is pretty surprising with a pleasant soft focus effect which can be remedied very easily with a an “aperture” stuck on the front of the lens.
There’s hardly any colour aberrations, I seriously don’t think that I have many lenses with this little purple fringing, and whilst contrast isn’t always there the colours still come over as fairly strong.
The swirl is obviously cool, but it’s not the only thing this lens has. I can’t quite put my finger on it yet but there’s something to the rendering that makes is distinctively look old.
On film it really shines and it’s rendering looks even older than on digital.
Below are a few examples
And then I tried it on film.. -and my god is the rendering different on film! It instantly looks to much older I hardly could believe my eyes!
You can click any image to be taken to it’s flickr album I created for this lens. It will gradually fill up more and more as I love using it!
Thanks for reading, I hope you’ve enjoyed it & as always, stay tuned!
Geoffrey
