Pros: remarkable quality.

Cons: difficult to use if not used to lenses that are not suitable for digital machines.

Opinion: Once you have done your hand with the Vintage, taking into account that some machines have a specific function. I use to put in AV and adjust the time with the compensation, the focusing instead is signaled by my machine. It is a lens with remarkable optical qualities comparable to the old Zeiss. the gradient is very progressive and the perfect saturation and contrast, often the photo does not have to touch it anymore and you can safely avoid using the Raw. mine was already mounted on my old Yashica. I only bought a 17 Euro metal adapter with sensors to communicate with the Canon. useful only to signal the focus but do not detect the diaphragm that the machine to read the light sets "office" to 1.4mm. Conclusions; maybe I could find others in a good state of these goals.

Pros: Featherweight, excellent quality

Cons: I do not see it

Opinion: I used it with a 108MP yashica, obviously in manual mode, and switching to DSLR canon I had the chance to continue using it with a 17 euro adapter ring with MF confirmation chip. What can I say, I found myself in my hands an excellent portrait lens (on APS-C frames like an 80 mm, keeping however compared to the latter a prospect more similar to that of the human eye). Despite this lens at the time did turn up his nose in comparison to his little brother f.1,7, I must say that shows excellent color rendering and excellent sharpness, in addition to the pleasure of focusing in manual with a beautiful wide and smooth ring. They pull it behind you on the used market.

Pros: size, weight, sharpness. Minimum focus distance

Cons: brittle, sharpness to TA. Distortion. Sticker. Very marked astigmatism. Two-dimensionality. Bokeh very nervous. Ac

Opinion: At full opening it is naturally soft, but still usable. It also solves well on 24mpx full frame. After many years of extremely careful use, the diaphragm slats have moved a little and close in a broken, irregular geometric figure, but the result is not compromised. Flare simply beautiful and very easily dosed. There are several chromatic aberrations, as well as a slight distortion. Astigmatism is marked and in the night photos you can see. The bokeh is very nervous, not always appreciable but certainly of character. I definitely recommend this lens as a portrait optics, it gives really appreciable lights and the right softness of the case. This is not, in my opinion, an approach to be underestimated. I use it with a 3d printed adapter unfortunately a little inaccurate, infinity surpasses it by far, despite this it puts very close subjects in focus. Great goal!

Pros: Small, well constructed and with very fluid rings. Reduced aberration and sony apsc has a good sharpness even in low light. The apsc cuts the corners so no vignetting. Defocused more than decent at full openness.

Cons: Keeping in mind that optics is nothing.

Opinion: I use it pretty much on sony a3000 and I'm very happy to have put this lens in the drawer back in my father's old fx-3 breakup. It does much better than I thought, and I'm taking it taste for all-open photos for the beautiful blur that gives (to my liking), certainly better than the 18-55 standard. rnAppena comes the sony a7ii i also use the 28mm f2.8 :-)

Pros: Lightweight, small, cheap, crisp

Cons: Built in plastic, but very solid

Opinion: a beautiful lens, my favorite of yashica ml 50. 50 1.4 is unacceptable as regards the flare and the translation at RT, 1.9 50 this is already very much better. closing already at 2.8 improves notevolmenternnon costs nothing (like € 35 in excellent condition, less if ruined but for the amount that costs it is better to take it good), is in his pants pocket and fits all mirrorless with an adapter that costs anch 'it all (€ 5 from china) rnper me is a must :)

Pros: economic - lightweight and compact

Cons: very little detailed in TA - requires a definite closing of the iris to be acceptable x

Opinion: while using it with a sensor undemanding (1D III), I've never been satisfied in full x the lack of detail rendition at the widest apertures - I could understand on a wide angle (but kiron 28mm f. opening is equal to 2.8 better), on a 50mm I find unacceptable --- I think it's better to turn to his brother f. 1.7 it is in good standing
