    Hi, I have a hard time with the pictures because I think you have left your white balance to auto so the colour tempiture is changing from picture to picture. Very hard to separate that from my overall opinion of the lens.

    All the best

Meyer Görlitz Primagon 35/4.5 M42

Image
Meyer Görlitz Primagon 35mm f4.5 M42 4 lenticular design Primagon 4,5 / 35mm. 10 blades. Solid construction. Smooth aperture. Produced in the years 1955-1963. The father of Meyer Optik Gorlitz Lydith 3.5/30 Lens and grandfather of Pentacon 3.5/30. Grandson grandfather has all the features, but it is cheaper and much easier to use. In addition, thanks to MC coating allows much easier to achieve better results. Optics: ★★★☆☆ From f 4.5 to 8 to soft. From f 11 up looks good. Good colors. Ergonomics: ★★★★☆ Small very handy. Solidly constructed. Pre-selection aperture. Very precise in use. But for the good outcomes must be earned. Build quality: ★★★★★ Rugged, lightweight and very easy to use. Market value / value of subjective: ★★★☆☆ Less than $ 200 is a very good price.

PENTACON auto MC 29mm f/2.8

Image
Pentacon 29/2.8 comes in a straight line from the Meyer Optik Görlitz Orestegon 29mm f/2.8. Produced in the years 1970/1991. During this period changed several times. Initially, a copy of the version of Meyer Orestegon 29mm f/2.8, then the electric version, and in the end version of the MC - There are also non-electric versions of the MC. It is a wide-angle lens with a very good f/2.8. Version of what I test is one of the last what was produced. Great multilayer coatings MC. The quality of workmanship as good as the old lenses Meyer. The lens has only 6 aperture blades. In a digital camera to take pictures with this lens requires a lot of attention already. Pictures are not sharp - just above f/11 we can talk longer with acceptable results. All the magic of color lenses Meyer here almost disappeared. You have to make an effort for it to have a picture in itself is a beautiful thing. Focal length [mm]: 29  Maximum aperture: 22  Minimum Aperture: 2.8  Fixing: M42x1  ...
