Andreas,
So far I have used 50/1.2 and 50/1.4. My copy of 50/1.8 has stiff focus, cracked element, and slightly fungus.
The 50/1.2 is among the sharpest I have at f1.2, but the one that gives best contrast at f1.2. Only thing it has as cons is MFD=1m, while the other f1.2 has 0,45m or a bit closer. Best is at f2.
The 50/1.4 is among the sharpest too, but also gives almost zeiss colors, bokeh is smoother than 50/1.4 MM C/Y.
They are just lovely. I like best the size on A7R. |

I just got a 100/3.5, which unfortunately has the cloudy element issue - not overly bad, but wide open the contrast is very low. Great sharpness though. My first Canon RF is the 50/1.8 which I love!

I remember having read somewhere that it comes from the Japanese Kannon or Kwanon. This is the good/ess of Mercy or Loving Compassion called Avalekiteshwara in the original Sanskrt, Quan Yin ( so many different transcriptions ) in China and of which the Dalai Lama is a manifestation for Tibeteans. _________________ my photos on flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kuuan/collections |

great answer!
it should be "Guan Yin" in Chinese and "Kwanon" in Japanese, which has been well described in your answer. _________________ I like Hexanon and EBC.

Kuuan - how does the 85/1.8 compare with the 100/2? I have the 100/2 and think it's absolutely great. I fancy getting the 85/1.8 but have read it suffers from focus shift when closing down from f1.8. As I use mine on an M8 that could be a problem, IF it's actually the case. I've never seen any problem on my 100/2, I must say, nor on my 'heavy' 85/2. _________________ Stephen

Thank's Calvin again for your advice, I got the LTM for a decent price and could not resist.
Yes Lars, got these. After Takumars and Pen-F Zuikos Canon LTM are third line of lenses that feels complete, aided by a few CVs on the wide end. The 1.9/85 stunned me, great sharpness already wide open, lovely colors. My f1.8 needed an easy fix and now performs as expected. It's way too early for me to do much comparing though and it may take a while before I could. I had bought these while anticipating a FF camera that unluckily failed to materialize, on my APS-C cams 85mm is longer than I commonly use.
Stephen the 2/100 has been impressing, not sure yet if the 1.8 is up it, from what I read on the net it might. My copy has minor but nevertheless a few cloudy spots around the outer border of a rear lens which may effect ( wide open ) performance while the 2/100 and 1.9/85 are spotless.
Focus is offset when stopping down! Changing aperture rotates the helicoid on all my Canon LTM tele lenses. My copy of the 1.8/85 does that less, my 2/100 very much, the 3.5/100 and 3.5/135 do. The Serenar seem not to suffer from this, interesting that your 2/100 and 2/85 don't.

Rotating the focus ring rotates the aperture assembly and ring with it. It is said that these Canon LTM tele lenses have a 'single helicoid' being responsible for that, and this also makes the focus ring turn when changing the aperture.
This is annoying, but one can easily redeem it by loosening an internal spring that defines the click stops by way of pressuring a ball into grooves of a rail underneath.
I just did that with my 1.8/85 and 2/100, now changing aperture doesn't rotate the focus ring, won't offset focus anymore.
The Canon LTM teles can be screwed apart in the middle, one part will hold the full optical block, the other part focus helicoid and lens mount.
the optical block of the 1.8/85:
un-tighten the two screws seen, changing the position of the 'leaf spring' they hold a bit upwards or bending it upwards will lessen the pressure unto the dents of the rail below which defines the aperture click stops. This can be done to a point until the clicks are still there but changing aperture won't move the focus helicoid anymore. If that, possibly due to the focus ring being too loose, doesn't work or if one wants the aperture ring to run freely anyways one easily could take off that leaf spring altogether.
same thing with the 2/100, more easily done even, just unscrew the two screws until working as desired
( there was another thread in this forum where we had discussed this issue presented in the Canon LTM 3.5/100 and 3.5/135, but possibly my photos disappeared and someone had been asking me to update these. However I can't find that thread anymore, if anyone knows, please point me to it ) _________________ my photos on flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kuuan/collections |

Kuuan - ! Thanks very much for those replies and the comments on making the aperture ring on the 100/2 easier to rotate. Using the Leica, I just set the chosen f number before I focus, so it's not really a problem. But it's a different story on the Lumix, of course. .
The 85/1.8 continues to interest me but I've just bought a 1953 vintage Nikkor 85/2 in Leica mount so even if I find one it might have to wait a while longer
Ian - if you have the late model shiny black 135 Canon lens, don't be in a hurry to sell it. I let mine go (admittedly to a good home!) and have regretted it. _________________ Stephen

most welcome Stephen. I use mine on mirrorless only and happy because so far this remedy seems to work well.
congrats on the Nikkor, just don't get me even started with these jewels _________________ my photos on flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kuuan/collections |
