I think dreamy is a nice way to put it.  This lens almost reminds me of a Trioplan. I'll have to try it on sunnier days where I can stop down more. |
What's the date of this lens - 50s/60s? When I was a young lad in the 50s, before Japanese quality came on the market, this was one of the very best lenses, when wide angles for 35mm were in their early days and f2.8 was very fast indeed. I remember an old uncle telling me that lenses should only be opened up wider than midway if the light demanded it, and only after running out of slower shutter speeds. In other words, as a last resort. So I think we shouldn't expect too much from this old lens wide open. You'll probably be much more pleased with it at F5.6 or f8, Bill, and with today's faster films there's even less need to use wide apertures. |
Peter, it's been very sunny lately so instead of fast film I used my favorite
Ferrania 100, this is at f5.6 using the Exakta 500 with the 2.8/35 Flek:
Ferrania also converts well in Silver Efex Pro:
