Īut if I look at the performance it is pretty similar to that of other lenses of the same era.

I think this is an excellent landscape lens but for general purposes I would prefer other lenses because of the under performing center at f/2. Classic, manual focus Leica SLR stills lenses adapted for cinematography use. What is remarkable is that the corners are the best I have seen in any legacy 50mm lens at f/2.Īt f/2.8 the center sharpens up a lot to excellent levels.īy f/4 the lens shows very good sharpness from corner to corner which is a stop earlier than I would expect from my Canons or Minoltas.Īt F/5.6 it is excellent from corner to corner. This lens showed an interesting performance pattern.Īt f/2 the center is only ok, my other lenses like the Minolta MC 1.4/50 or Canon nFD 1.4/50 are noticeably sharper in the center at f/2. It takes f/11 for the corners to sharpen up to very good levels. My Canon nFD 2.8/20 is a better performer for a whole lot less money, but there are many other legacy lenses in the 20/21mm range which have worse corners.Ī pretty unremarkable performance, my 20 bucks Minolta MD 2.8/28 is slightly better.Īt f/2.8 the center is a lillte soft, the midframe is noticeably worse and the corners are pretty bad.
Stopped down to f/11 even the corners are sharp but not very much so. The center is very good from f/4, midframe is okayish and the corners are soft. Typical performance for UWA lens of it’s era.
