walk outside with biotar 75/1.5

[lwsy711]

Got this lens from Klaus, today have a chance to test it outside. There was a heaviest snow yesterday( 20 cm deep ) this year, although the light was not perfect, but really surprised by the performance of this lens. Never thought it would be so good, it totally worth the money. Never will let it go!

Click to see high resolution.
First the signature of this lens:
f1.5





f8.0?(forget the exactly number)






poor guys suffering from snow:
f16, cropped










This guy forgot his tail





PS: still don't have infinity focusing for sd14, need to find adapter to mount this extakta version to e-p1 to reach infinity

Hey great first outing. I love the pic of the egret(?). The sparkles in the snow and the birds shadow make a real impact of the sun and cold of the day.

Thanks guys,

By the way, this copy don't have a perfect round circle when stopping down to f/16, this should only affect bokeh, right? But when stopping down to this aperture, the bokeh is not so important and it also helps a little bit to match to "focusing to infinity"

Klaus, thanks again for the gem!

Thanks Attila and fish4570

Andy, thanks for the useful tip, I did not compare sharpness at different aperture. Will be use aperture under f/8 with cautions

This is a exakta mount copy, to simply use it on SD14, I just attached a m39->m42 adapter( with glue, totally reversible ), so I am not able to achieve infinity focusing for now. DOF helps a little bit for this temporary defect.
