Here's a few test shots in my shop and the outer store, most were wide
open:









And here's one from last night using diffused flash in one of my
storage rooms in the house:





stopped-down a little, it does resolve nicely.

Hope to do some outdoor pics this weekend!

Bill

Nice to see your shots, Bill! I'm waiting to see your outdoor photos Smile
IMHO wide open Trioplan is good for "atmospheric" photos. I compared photos from Trioplan and from Tair-11A taken at F/5.6 - there's almost no difference in sharpness between them. If anybody want some test photos (8 MPix, compressed to JPG 2 - 5 MB), please write to me. At F/2.8 Tair is of course sharper. But they're two different lenses :]

New test photos (JPG from camera, only resized):

F/2.8: low contrast and characteristic bokeh


F/4: better contrast and sharpness (but light was a bit better), more neutral bokeh


And something to the dessert... I promise that it is the last photo of my bicycle Smile


Best regards,
Hubert

I guess the best pictures what I ever seen with this lens your bicycle pictures so who car you use as model all time. I like flash pictures better Bill than without that.

Love your idol picture, Bill. The flash makes it supernatural. Underexpose 2 stops, make it B&W, and you can submit it to the Mystery contest Wink

I also vote to see more from your bycycle.

Would be entertaining to see somebody climb the Stelvio with that bike (the big one) Laughing

Steve - what a bike! Probably from Stone Age Wink I've never been in Scotland... it's time to change it!
Orio: if U want to see more photos - no problem.
My previous photo in B&W:


Other shot:


Both photos taken in not the best light, November in Poland is rather cloudy Smile

By the way - my cousin collects old cameras... In his collection I found two cameras with Trioplan 50/2.9. These lenses are in very good condition, unfortunately they haveExa/Exakta mount (no M42 screw). So I can't use it.

OK, here's some outside test pics, plus one that Orio suggested I do
with one previously posted:









First 3 were shot at f4-5 somewhere and the last at f8.

Bill: SUPER IMAGES!
I really could not imagine that the Trioplan could be so sharp and contrasted!!

As for the idol, I had something different in mind Smile

Orio, it had a little help (but not much) in CS3 when it comes to contrast. What did you have in mind for the idol?
EDIT: here's another version (above).

The wind was really kicking up and these were the best out of 20 pics
taken on a break from work.

Also, the blue you see on some of the waxy leaves in the first pic are
reflections from the blue sky.

Thanks for your comments.

Bill

This lens is fast becoming one of my "must have" lenses. I need to quit LOOKING at these results!

I know what you mean - it's got such a strong character. If it wasn't for lack of infinity on a Nikon I'd have been bidding like crazy.

Great shots that really show the lens off.

Thanks for your comments, fellas!

@Richard, I cried like a baby when I sold my last Nikon, but I wouldn't
have a digital back that would cheat me out of the joy of using these
old lenses! It simply doesn't get better than this! The glass is everything,
digital backs come and go, but the lenses remain.
