Although it's hard to judge from this tiny image, it looks like the Rokkor was shot wide open. Try it at something like f/1.6 and it will be _much_ smoother/creamier. |
Hi AhamB, thanks for stopping in. Yes, lenses are both wide open, it is the best way to judge character. I agree as one stops down a lens slightly and concentrates more on the center of the glass, the aberrations at the edges of specular highlights are correspondingly diminished in oof, resulting in a smoothing effect. In lenses such as the Trioplan where the edges of the highlights show a pronounced bright ring, the transition to a smoother oof is even more striking. I believe this effect is universal.
As for the small images, yes. Flickr no longer readily provides the address of larger versions of files as per their policy on direct linking. I hadn't posted these on my personal page, but perhaps I'll do that more now with flickr's change.
