Topic: new 50mm lens

[LT]

I recently got a new 50mm lens for my 35mm rf set up - here are a few snaps using it - usual test subjects ... my dogs, old boats and dungeness.  It's turned out to be a worthy purchase. 









and this last one was with the 21mm

Hi Leon,
I'm a fan of the standard focal length in all formats.
What 50 mm you buy? As your images look superb.
Regards JON.

thanks Jon - it is the CV 50mm nokton.  I'm really impressed with it. focal length makes much more sense to me than the 40mm I've got.

Lovely images Mr Taylor. Rather knocks spots off my Industar 61. But hey, I'm believing I like blur now!

Lovely work with that lens, Leon. I'm a huge fan of the 'neutrality' of the standard lens.

Leon,
Yes the Nokton 50mm is an incredable lens and a gift when you compare to the leica equivalent.
Looking at your excellent images again the one that stands out to me is the barges.  IMO this would
make beautiful fine print if it was printed on fiber matt or semi matt textured paper.
I suspect your negs are just right and thats what shows in  these images.
JON.

Looks a really sharp lens,  the second last one of the dog in flight with the shadow is a beautiful image.
