There are a few spots at Silverstone where the track is not too far away, but you are separated by a fence and some railings. By using the lense wide open you can't actually see the fence as it is blurred out, but gives the impression of being beside the track. Plus, I guess, the 135mm is a 202.5mm lense equivalent on the NEX-5N |

best regards to all |

Very nice photo !
I recommand viewers to click on it and open it in a better resolution.

This is not a particularly good photo technically, but I like it. Got the exposure wrong, a bit blurred, had to post-process (probably too much), had to crop etc etc. Taken with Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm F3.5 on a Sony NEX-5N at the Farnborough airshow today. Does go to show though that the 10fps capture does help capture the right moment

Hello Pero and welcome from me too. The picture certainly is better at full size.
You say you're not impressed with this lens and I think you're the first person I've ever
heard say that. Your picture seems to have a yellowish tint and I'm wondering if the
lens has yellowed slightly. Not the amber coating, but does it appear yellowed when
you look directly through it at a sheet of white paper behind?
You might know this already, but the 1.4/50 Super-Takumar is well known for developing
a yellow cast when it's been kept in darkness for a long time. The yellow clears when
the lens is exposed to light - in particular UV light. There are lots of threads on the
forum about how people have cleared theirs - me included. _________________ Peter - Moderator |

Thanks for the welcome all, hope this reply with a quote works... Yes Peterq, thanks for the advice,
I am aware of the yellowish tint, will expose the lens to the sun for some time, I hear that gets
rid of it. I did kinda like it at the start, but it started to bother me.
I am by no means saying the Takumar is a bad lens, I still love it, love the soft felling it gives and
the astoundingly beautiful bokeh, but I used it for video and was not impressed by the sharpness,
maybe it was because of the bad light conditions...(we compared it to a Zeiss Planar 1.7, also 50mm)
Has anyone got a good tip for an old lens? Maybe in the range of/around 24mm? |

For which use and on which camera ?

- Konica Hexanon 24mm f2.8
- Nikkor 24mm f2.8
- Yashica ML 24mm f2.8
- Carl Zeiss Jena Distagon 25mm f2.8
- Tamron 28mm f:2.5 _________________ Olivier - Moderator

Here is another picture from the same series - out of camera, no postprocessing, only cropping and resizing. It seems sharper.
Unfortunaly the expression in her face isn't as nice as on the misfocused one, and the wind has blown more hair in front of her face. Oh well - the soft one will do.
