Pros: Blurred, sharp enthincenter

Cons: Length, uniformity

Opinion: Great blurred to all diaphragms, perhaps the greatest value of this goal. The sharpness, rated on 42MP sensor, is quite good at f/4, increases quite a lot to f/5.6 and reaches the maximum at f/8 with a remarkable solver power, especially considering age and number of lenses. I do not consider it a serious defect but it is not particularly uniform, outside the center the performance drops quite quickly (probably with three lenses only the blanket is really short), but at f/11 the uniformity is good. Very low distortion and even vignette, barely visible at f/4. Zero flare from internal reflections (i.e. that typical, lighter central area with closed diaphragms if there are bright, even not very strong, areas in the field), but mine is the T version with anti-reflective coating. Mine had the focus dial almost blocked and it seems (from what is on the net) that it is a fairly frequent thing, so be careful for the purchase. Overall a very pleasant and very valid lens that can give satisfaction even with sensors with many MPs, not to mention the charm of the three lenses.

Pros: Sharp optics that I found at a really super price quality ratio... very high yield both for the bokeh and creamy blurry as well as for the whole sixth.... Great sense of robustness...

Cons: the 14 cm long...

Opinion: From f4 to f6 the bokeh is beautiful and the creaminess is gorgeous... it lends itself to any photographic genre with a very high sharpness especially considering that it is an optics from about 50 years ago, but it is an optics that manages to compete with many modern optics.......... If you find it at a good price do not hesitate for a moment........ I was lucky to find it at a good price, but up to 100€ is to be taken...........

Pros: Cheap, beautiful colors, cookie triplet, 15 lamella, almost no falling to the edges, the beauty of the aluminum

Cons: Adjustable diaphragm in the head, fire from very long racing, attention to the dust that can hurt in the machine attachment

Opinion: Cooke Triple, 15-lobed diaphragm, a post-war lens that still says its, by character and quality. The scheme is as simple as it is, as it should be for an affordable lens. It's always a Carl Zeiss and you see! The colors are not off but well-balanced, giving them beautiful shades. Slightly soft at F4, but still usable anyway. Aluminum frame, where scratches and small shots are noticed but from the unmistakable character that few lenses can boast. RnThe focus is not one of the easiest but the one who has practice will not be in trouble. The diaphragm adjustment position remains peculiar ... it's almost like the hood latch! It slaps a bit when you have to work precision, Nikon specially, for the confirmation of fire. The back of the lens is half empty, leaving too much dust. As soon as it is taken, the cap is immediately put and the problem is resolved. There are two models: pre war and post war, the slimmest pre(My) most robust.rn Normal and T * red colors with the most appetizing seocnda.rnAlluminous or not the lens is good solid, some specimens may have sharp focus and diaphragms, just make it a small breakthrough from who you want it and The problem is resolved.rnrnA I like a lot, so much that repays even the position of the diamant and the length of more than a lap for the fuchsia.rnTry on the portraits and on each set, less suited to instinctive shots, for obvious reasons .. .rnrn As much as it should cost 3 times, and if I do not mind the market, it will be a lens that will rise in price like the Trioplan.

Pros: Sharpness, bokeh and price

Cons: The cons that can have a lens that is a triplet of more than 30 years ago

Opinion: Bought used for a while, I use it on reflex nikon full frame. It has good sharpness and bokeh is by far my favorite of all the lenses I have tried, along with that of the brother f2.8.rnLa 50mm lens is a triplet, with T..non treat expect a comparable anti-reflective coating modern ones, belonging to this I think is a great lens for the price that ... Really nice and good results. The only one against it is that using it on Nikon SLR will lose in any case the focus to infinity, even when used with an adapter corrective lens (I use hama), the maf to infinity will be impossible rn
