zeiss_jena-tessar_50_f2-8Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm f/2.8

Pros: Soft blur, color rendering, micro-contrast, very smooth focusing, look (aluminum version) super cool

Cons: Not too bright, suffers quite a bit from backlight

Opinion: I bought this lens by seeing a few video reviews at a good price. Being in the period when I used brighter lenses such as the helios and the super takumar 50mm f1.4 I left it aside a bit. In recent days I have picked it up again and I must say that it left me surprised. It has perhaps one of the most elegant, soft, and painterly bokeh among my vintage lenses. At close range it is very beautiful on flowers and nature and even closing the aperture a little (at f4 or f5.6) it still maintains a very soft and pleasant blur. Also nice for portraits with soft or sharp light (if not backlit, as it suffers a bit like all old lenses). I am very satisfied, it is a very poetic lens.

sigma_50_f1-4dnSigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art

Pros: Blurred, autofocus, brightness, color rendition, sharpness

Cons: Weight, barrel distortion

Opinion: After almost a year of purchase only now I decide to make a review. In my opinion it is a nice lens, I really like the color rendering and its rather soft blur. It is sharp and sharp even at very wide apertures. The autofocus is quite fast, not always very precise (especially in poor light conditions). The sore points are in my opinion the weight, but it fits for an f1:1.4, while the distortion so evident at the barrel on a 50mm of this price range is really annoying. Passed but not with full marks.

zenit_50_f2Zenit Helios 44-2 58mm f/2.0

Pros: Blurred, brightness, color rendering

Cons: its defects make it the character of the lens

Opinion: I walked around it for quite a while, buying almost all the lenses of the 44M series (which I sold) and then arriving at the historic 44-3 and finally the 44-2. I must say that the lens gives me satisfaction adapted on my sony A7iii. It is a very defective optics, it suffers a lot in backlight, it has very little sharpness at the edges at full aperture and it is difficult to take a little 'hand to get something decent out. Accustomed to modern lenses, where at maximum aperture I am used to decentralize the subject, everything I did with this lens sucked for me. Now that I've got a little carried away and I've figured out what I can do with it, I'm satisfied. In my opinion it is a lens to have in the kit.

venus_laowa_85_f5-6macroVenus Laowa MiniFF II 85mm f/5.6 Macro 2:1

Pros: Magnification factor, lightness, sharpness, usability

Cons: Anonymous lens cap and hood not easy to mount

Opinion: I bought this lens because I was looking for something specific for macro photography with a very high magnification factor. Being used to other completely manual optics I had no difficulty in its use. I had documented myself with reviews and opinions online and I must say that I am absolutely satisfied. Its quality is really good, the sharpness is very good, the distortion is almost absent. With the x2 magnification factor, completely new creative worlds open up. If I really have to find moles I must say that given its cost a custom lens cover would have been welcome, but Laowa on this has not worked at all. The hood doesn't lock with a shot like the other lenses I own, so it's a bit difficult to mount. Despite this, he is for me promoted with flying colors.

tamron_24_f2-8iiiTamron 24mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2

Pros: Cost, minimum focus distance, sharpness

Cons: Slow and somewhat noisy autofocus, distortion

Opinion: I bought this lens because I needed to have an intermediate length between my tokina firin 20mm f2 and the Sony 35mm f1.8. I didn't have a very high budget and I researched around. I took the tamron 24mm at 140€ used, in good condition. I must say that I was pleasantly satisfied and the expectations I had, thanks to the reviews of other users, were widely respected. It's a great lens, given the value for money, I don't think you can ask for more from Tamron. The thing that amazed me is the focusing distance, really minimal, which makes it a lens that works curiously well even in macro, at least for my experience. The moles are obviously there. The autofocus is rather slow and in some conditions where responsiveness is required it becomes unusable, it is a bit noisy (which is a problem only for video) and the distortion of the image is quite accentuated. Taking everything into account it is for me promoted with flying colors.

pentax_smc_super-multi-coated_takumar50_f1-4Pentax SMC Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm f/1.4

Pros: Sharpness, color rendering, softness of focus ring, construction, size, brightness

Cons: I can't find any

Opinion: It is perhaps one of the 50mm manuals that I love the most. In addition to having a wonderful aesthetic and construction, I find it to be a very beautiful lens and adapted on my Sony A7III works very well. Being manual focus takes us back to a vintage world where photography was certainly less frenetic and the shot more "meditated". I would not use it on a professional service where you need speed but for a personal search it is perfect.

tokina_firin20_f2afTokina Firin 20mm f/2 FE AF

Pros: Weight, compactness, photo yield, thread for nd filter, brightness

Cons: Af noisy and a bit snappy

Opinion: It's definitely a nice goal. I switched to this from sigma art 20mm f1.4 because it is too bulky, heavy and without thread for nd filter, especially to use it in the video. On sony it works well, the distortion is really little, quite sharp even at the edges and large iris openings. I'm satisfied. Too bad for the autofocus a bit snappy and definitely noisy.

nikon_afs20_f1-8Nikon AF-S 20mm f/1.8 G ED

Pros: Light, bright, fast and little distortion

Cons: Not sarprei

Opinion: Great goal, very light and compact and small. Very bright given the opening to f1.8, the colors that gives are very beautiful as well as the quality of the blur. I think really has very little distortion, I would recommend it highly to anyone who wants to buy a fixed lens ultra wide angle.
