There aren't too many samples from this lens available on the internet. This was my original post when initially getting the lens: http://forum.mflenses.com/any-info-chinon-1-7-50mm-macro-t31458,highlight,chinon+macro+50mm.html
I was interested in seeing how the lens performed wide open. It gives an incredibly dreamy feel in close-ups.
Chinon CP-7m (with Kipon-make K to m42 adapter), between 1/500th and 1/1000th, v700 scanner. Zero PP except dust removal and resizing.

Your best shots here, I think, moleman.
Turn that lens on a human or two with BW400CN ...

Nice shots. I prefer the 1st one actually Marc. It's the composition that works better for me. It does have a glow to it and I suspect it will exibit some CA of the cyan kind in tough situations.

Yes, again these are nice shots, Marc, but when you get done dilly-dahlia-ing
around, I'd like to see some women. Don't you have another GF by now?  |

Thanks guys!
I definitely will get around to some people shots soon. As for girlfriends, I don't seem to be having much luck in that area. The girl I'm interested in now is a professional ice-dancer and she travels nationally quite a bit because of this. She never sticks around long enough for it to get serious. I really know how to pick em  |

I think I like the second one the best -- I like the soft focus of the background.

Thank you both. I actually ended up selling this lens for quite a profit (hint: for 10x what I paid. And I paid $35). Although i liked the images, i would rather put my money elsewhere. |

Nice work Marc, I shot a few rolls of Ektar 100 too. All images got toned violet. Did you noticed similar effects?

The blue or violet tones tend to happen when ektar is underexposed. Ektar HATES to be underexposed. It is very much like a slide film in that respect. This color cast is hard to correct for in PP. I typically rate the film as 80iso to make sure shadows areas do not fall victim to this cast. |
