I'm really impressed with the quality of this lens..

i bought it to Luispictor (a great seller, thanks) and he sent me in a excellent shape...

some samples ... what do you think about? anyone knows the lens?

The photos are taken with and olympus E-1 and one adapter exacta to 4/3..

The first two are taken in a village cemetery,,, one local people said to me that never see nobody across 100 years don't go to see or put a flowers for the girl.

The third is a specially perspective called " Common Places, intimate spaces ..." is a series of photographs that try to reflect exactly what it says .. daily life and at the same time private.

I have the S-K Curtagon 28/4 in Retina mount. The colours and rendition of detail are ok, and for its age the corner performance is acceptable enough. It would be worse on FF though.




100 % corner crop

i have also in retina mount. i use it on my retina reflex iii, and with adapter on my olympus ep1 and canon 5d. it is, as really all this series of S-K, great color/contrast and to me at least very decent sharpness for such an old lens. i love it on the olympus--the whole retina series of S-K are great on this camera. a little less great on 5d, but still lovely and i like to use them especially when light is not so good because of great color...

I really like the two shots taken in the cemetery, but then I always like shots taken in cemeteries!!! Just joking, they're really cool, with lovely Schneider colour rendering.

I have a M42 version for Edixa with coupling posibility for a lightmeter on the camera. I like the rendering of the lens ons APS-c, but the viewfinder is somewhat dark because of the F 4.
