Christmas 2007 in Piacenza (second part)

[Orio]

Today I was in a big hurry and didn't have time for a good series. So I only took a few photos to test the new lens, the MC Macro Revuenon 2.8/28, paid 14.something Euros, it focuses down to 20 cms.

I add here and there some non sharpened 100% details to let you evaluate the lens. Consider that the pictures were taken at 800 or 1600 ISO, so there is some detail loss because of that. Consider also that all the focusing was done "by guesstimate", i.e. I shot from waist level without looking in the camera:

Looks great for the price. There is certainly an advantage to having a set of "travelling lenses". Expensive kit on the road can be risky sometimes. Better to find good alternatives like this may be. Nice job "shooting from the hip" BTW.

GREAT test shots. I particularly like the showing of bokeh in the unsharpened details. The one that you actually marked "bokeh" is beautifully smooth and gradual in the falloff.

It's a valuable combination that you have a 5D for full frame images, along with these varieties of lenses. Having the 5D means consistency, and the comparisons can be rendered with a good degree of accuracy, and we get to see the "real world" usage of the lens with all its characteristics pretty much intact.

I tend to agree that the Revuenon is a very good performer, ESPECIALLY in the price:quality ratio. Based on these image, I would not hesitate to take the cheaper Revuenon traveling, in lieu of a more expensive lens.

Thanks for the good work.

Thanks. I am finding that I can get very good results with this technique using wide angle lenses. When there is low light and I can not use the "3 m at f/8" rule, what I do is to set an average distance that is appropriate for the subject (in most cases today it was about 2.5 meters), set a good compromise between aperture and speed, and then I "focus" by walking to or from the subject until I evaluate a proper distance. Or if the subject is moving, I stand still and shoot at the appropriate distance.
it works. It's not perfect, but it works.

Here's the lens on the 5D (quick and dirty hand-held shot):

Oh another note: the multicoating works on this lens. I could not get a flare in spite of the hundred lights.
No hood.

We are always good for a surprise!

Very impressive shots, actually. This lens seems to be a really nice one.
As often the Revuenon lenses are much better than their reputation!
