 |
|
This is one of my best bokeh lens.
You can see it mounted on the 5D:
It is really a flat lens, flatter than it looks here because of perspective.
Pleasantly dreamy and with killer bokeh wide open, it becomes "tack" sharp once stopped down.
(I don't know, but I bet this lens is a Tessar design).
The size and features make it the ideal walkaround lens. I have decided that I will take this one to Budapest as 50mm lens.

Sharp stopped down:
but still pleasant in the blur (not a so common thing to happen)

It has no annoying diverging lines and the highlights are smoothed.

Also I have to add as a side note, not too bad in the "3D-effect" department either.

For those interested, the picture of the camera and lens is taken with the Industar-61 macro lens and with the help of a golden reflector to fill up the shadows. The white balance was taken on the white wall before the use of the reflector, in order to have it's reflection cast as warmer tone. I think it adds to the atmosphere.
Both the Industar-61 and the Volna-9 are fantastic lenses, amongst the absolute best in the Russian lenses panorama in my opinion. I will never sell them.
Here the Industar shows how well it can render the texture of the objects i.e. good microcontrast (a very important quality for a macro lens).

I used only once my Industar-61 , but I was so satisfied from every aspect. Focusing , picture quality etc one of the best.I sold my copy in the last fw days, because need to sell something to get income for newest lenses. Perhaps I will buy again soon.

Orio,
Is this Nikkor a series E? AI or AIS? I do not see the coupler for the older Nikon camera meters. That lens has fantastic bokeh.

No Bob. This is the top-of-the-line version. I used to have the Series E before this one. It was stolen with my photo bag in London 
The Series E was MUCH flatter (is flatter a correct word? Does sound strange to me).

The Series E is flatter (more flat? more flattened? what is the correct expression?). Also Series E is single coated, but apart from this, I suspect it could be a different lens scheme, because it has much less depth.

Yep.
This is proof that sometimes you don't need big money to get big performance. This lens is in the affordable range (I paid for mine about 70 Euros, but it's a "like new" copy - more used copies should be found for even less).
And for sure the Series E version should be even more affordable (althouhg a lot of time has passed since I used it and I don't remember about its performance specifically).
