It appears to me a lot of the incredible quality of your shots has to do with excellent focusing and composition, but I got no idea how you get that level of clarity wide open - very impressive. What camera are you using the lens on?


Thanks. Maybe I just got lucky with my lens copy (I have a black version).
Old Sony a7.

No - looking at your flickr images I got to insist that's pure skill (the lens probably being a good sample is merely a bonus)!

Excellent shots - exceptionally well done! Like 1

Perhaps you're right... if that's wide open, your Domiron sample seems to be special as well. Mine doesn't seem to be nearly as sharp, even though it's a bit hard tell by how much, given the different image size.

A brilliantly creative shot! Did you use a flash?

There certainly is some truth to that but I'll openly admit that I'm not completely indifferent when it comes to sharpness.

Thank you! No, just a small LED light with barn doors. Pretty minimalistic setup. The hardest part is getting the angle of the golden cup (it's actually an ISCO cine projection lens, because why not? Wink ) in the background right...

I just love this lens... it really inspires me in a way not many lenses do.

are there any differences between the silver and black sample of same lens? besides aesthetic of course

I don't think so. The (black) version of D.P. does appear to show excellent clarity wide-open. I'm not sure my (silver) sample is up on that level... That being said, we haven't compared any kind of similar sample-shot under similar conditions and at full size, so it's very hard to say. I also still consider myself a Domiron-beginner... 😅 Also, the black version is probably worth more as it seems to be quite rare.

I feel like a lot of the lenses capabilities for making special images depend on the right angle and particularly distance to the subject. You'll find some great samples for that in the thread, particularly by D.P. and Toby (kymarto).

Here are some more attempts with mine:

Yeah, as a Meyer fan this is a lens I'd love to own, but I'm just not willing to pay the price for it. Sample pics is the next best thing.

Yes, indeed... that has prevented me from buying one for quite some time as well. The Meyer Oreston 50 mm f/1.8 or Pentacon is an excellent lens with a similar look (at least in many instances), slightly faster, easier to adapt and vastly cheaper, so it really is not easy justifying the price of the Domiron.

Thanks, the same to you!

I've been thinking about doing a simple comparison between the Domiron and Oreston. Maybe the Oreston will suffice!

these kind of shots just increase prices on ebay lol
i had the pentacon 1.8 last version, but don´t recall to see same effect, oreston might be a little bit different though
