Pros: Solid, powerful, sharp, safe, f/1.7, very low cost, construction, blurred by scream.

Cons: Flare, original hood unobtainable, MAF difficult (you need to have a very trained eye).

Opinion: Extraordinary optics for portraiture. I use it with my Contax RTS analog of '82, and with a special adapter ring on my DSLRs. The rendering in the portrait is really surprising and superb so much so that, if I have to make portraits, I use only this optics: there is no comparison! Nothing to say to current and modern optics, but lenses like this, with almost 50 years on their shoulders, still have a lot to say and to give. Rating 10/10.

Pros: Solid construction, high resolving power, excellent microcontrast

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I have two (one AEJ and one MMJ), of very similar performance, which I use exclusively on Contax film cameras. Since the eighties this optics was distinguished by an excellent uniformity between center and edges, excellent microcontrast, cold color rendering. Preferable to CZ 50/1.4, unless maximum opening of the latter is required. It does not disfigure at all when compared with modern optics, except for a certain degradation in the images with a framed light source. Ultimately, a gem...

Pros: Very sharp for 120€!

Cons: Very noticeable flare without lens hood, focus ring with a lot of play, if lens overused (3-4 ° rotation without changing in the slightest)

Opinion: Optics of excellent quality, purchased for about € 120 in about mid-2021 (+ urth adapter at € 29), for that price it is rare to find better! Maybe canon fd 50/55mm f/1.4 or 1.2 would be better, but I've never tried them... To use it at its best you need a lens hood to fight the very noticeable flare! (universal can also be found at 10€) I don't know if it can be a different model, but my specimen has only 6 opening slats, it still produces a flashy hexagonal bokeh. The large aperture also allowed me to try two skyrocketing photos. On a sony alpha 5000 you take beautiful photos, I use it for portraits and some situations in nature. I also recommend to amateurs like me! When I have some time I publish the photos taken with this beauty!

Pros: Sharpness, three-dimensionality

Cons: Flare

Opinion: They are cheap and I took it pretty much for Sfizio. I have to say that it has exceptional sharpness and three-dimensionality. The only problem is the dramatic Lens Flare at F Downs in backlight. It is sturdy and not too heavy, the rings are very fine. I thought I was just portraits but I found myself using it in other contexts, as moving subjects in some rooms lit in candle

Pros: For the price all

Cons: ------

Opinion: Superb optics, taken with a bargain at just €80, and I have to say one of the best 50 I've Had. Surely it stops everything if you reason in terms of "peso\\power". small, it mounts on any mirrorless without any problems. I have few shots made with this lens, but I must say that even a simple flower takes on a character all its own. Obviously I talk about the yield on full frame, on aps-c I do not express myself. Try it because if you like vintage lenses in my opinion it is one of the Best. The bokeh is really peculiar, quite creamy despite being "only" F 1.7, but still it's a bit "swirly", which makes it really unique.

Pros: Sharpness, construction

Cons: In my opinion nobody!

Opinion: Shooting only in analog, so my review does not take into account the use of digital camera .... But I have never read negative reviews of this lens with the sensor..rn I love this 50mm fixed, things of the past! rnAnche at full aperture defends itself to the great! But from 5.6 in my opinion it has no rivals. At least among the optics of the period and leaving out the leica ... but those are another planet ... let's say among those at human prices :-D. But I think it makes the dust eat even in many modern lenses. In my opinion the only defect that can have compared to modern buildings is the lack of autofocus (like all the optics c / y) .rnThe slides projected with the colorplan 90 are exceptional! Full-bodied colors, extraordinary clarity, no difference in yield between center and edges! Someone speaks of cold yield, never noticed anything like that, I do not know if it is due to use with the digital. But with the film I could not ask for more from a fixed 50mm. Now it is at great prices, it will not disappoint the purchase! Rn

Pros: Construction, sharpness, blurred, excellent performance even on APS-C

Cons: Not found

Opinion: Taken with adapter for Fujifilm XT-1 has confirmed all my expectations. Construction at the top, very good sharpness already from f / 1.7.rnEasy to focus even at full aperture with the aid that Fuji makes available on his camera bodies. Very pleasant blurred, slightly cool tonal effect "vintage effect" that I personally like a lot. Nothing else to add, Rating 10 deserved. I'll upload a few photos soon.rnA small note on the adapter (K ??& F Concept); despite the ridiculously low price, quality is beyond expectations. Completely in metal, solid and without strange grafting games.

Pros: Build quality, sharpness, blurred

Cons: at this price? Nobody!

Opinion: Taken on an online auction for 50 euro this lens has opened a new world: that of the fixed lens bright. Took more out of curiosity than anything else has proved an excellent training ship. I used it on the Canon 60D. If you do not have viewfinders very large and with pentamirror I suggest you focus using live view. Not autofocus, but those who turn to Zeiss knows. Rings of focus and aperture-smooth, which made it seem those of my old toys for children 15-85. The opportunity to "play" with diaphragms and focus manually, by setting the camera the only time is an excellent opportunity to get to know the secrets of the show. SHIP SCHOOL, 10 vote.

Pros: Yield ecceziunale really, crystal clear already at RT. Tank. Fabulous colors

Cons: Absence AF

Opinion: A great goal, is a great price, when my canon 50 1.8 saw hid in the cabinet and there is never released. Clarity that surprises already at full aperture. When you see it is like to see the B-side of Belen Rodriguez or Emily Ratajkowsi you will raise the flash pop-up.rnDa when I put on my canon and I did a quick comparison with the canon I immediately they realized what I had in my hands, I realized the strength, and that if the Germans had had 50 Zeiss instead with panzer now in Europe we'd all blond mustache because they would have won the war because it is so strong and solid that you think having in hand a nokia 3310.rnQuando the evening are a little bit down and you look at him you jump off the flash pop-up in no time at all. If you put it all opened is fine, if you close a little bit is fine, always it goes well insomma.rnSe the use of FF is wonderful, if you put it on APSC is equally fabulous, on aFF is like a night of love with Belén, if you put it on APSC extends the focal length but is wonderfully stessornTi from the color that makes you see even the LSD

Pros: Incredible sharpness, construction-like lug (as generally all targets C / Y), flare virtually nonexistent (thanks to the legendary T *)

Cons: no one

Opinion: I used this lens for several years on the Contax film (along with the 28 / 2.8 and 135 / 2.8), and I was always satisfied. Compared to modern optical colors are less "hot", in fact the yield is chilly, say "sharp". On APS-C I discovered a 75mm equivalent wonderful with a simple manual MAF !!! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a perspective of value at a ridiculous price.

Pros: Amazing sharpness, solid construction date from excellent materials, colors tending to the cold but that give the flavor of vintage that kidnaps

Cons: No One

Opinion: I bought this lens to about € 120 to try to use a Zeiss without svenarmi tastarne and quality, the same as my father told me to find several years ago when a young man was photographing. I use it in parallel with a Canon 50 f / 1.4 lens, and despite being a product at the end of the 70s, I can say that as I find steps made over the 50ino of the house red and white, on any front, even sharpness. As written below, the MAF is a valuable manual for those who want to engage in photos taken with calm and not "shoot and run". Focus is a pleasure thanks to the ring soft and precise, of course, with modern SLR focuse is difficult, but with a little practice and maybe a glass mat becomes easier. The colors I find them very beautiful, slightly cold, reflexes tend all'azzurrino and damage to a photo of that vintage. The blurry I find it very nice and smooth, definitely softer than the Canon. Ultimately a lens that, for those who want to learn, must not fail in the kit.

Pros: Everything: Yield of color, micro-contrast and sharpness are unrivaled, or, if the beats still on equal terms with any other brand.

Cons: No One

Opinion: High competitiveness, for a lens built and sold as far back as 1975: Mechanics and glass designed to last and if today, with digital, it can still compete, it is the objective demonstration. Has certainly stabilizer, nor autofocus, but for those who do not like photographing "hit and run", this is not conclusive. I also believe that, once again, is debunked the "urban legend" that the goals vintage, film, are obsolete, ie, they are not suitable, even progettualmente, the sensors of the Digital Age. I believe that in 99% of cases this is a huge hoax, understandably concerned.

Pros: Build quality very high color rendering outsmart, very good although a little blurry strung, but definitely more enjoyable than many other modern plasticotti. Price and ease of operation.

Cons: I honestly do not know, certainly not his brother f 1.4 offers even more three-dimensional images, but the price is definitely different though not very high.

Opinion: I wanted a 50 mm to match my SLR and between different proproste market I chose this. I'm a child of the digital optical not so certain I had the good fortune to use them, but I will say that the pixels behave very well. Very high quality, beautiful and enjoyable blurred, saturated colors brilliant. Perfect. LornConsiglio to all those who buy the canon 50 1.8, for the price it's worth, this gives a lot more satisfaction. Every now and play with rings of diaphragms is not so bad. Stra recommended.
