Screen shots from the video. If you have a good camera (GH2, AG-AF100) you can make very high quality movies with this lens.

Xenon is a Shneider's optimized version of a famous Carl Zeiss's Planar formula.

Hi Snuff, welcome at mflenses! I noticed that your 2nd ever entry was one to sell an expensive lens here. No-one knows your really here yet; we like to first known someone, his work etc before usually we like someone to start posting sale-ads.

Nevertheless you have some nice images of your pretty GF if I may say that. Looks very film like. Which setting did you use on your camera to achieve this retro-look?

Hello, Klaus!

All pictures were taken with my Olympus E-P1.
I shoot in RAW and then convert pics in LR. That retro look is achieved by means of LR standard tools.

My camera settings: Low contrast, Low sharpness, Low Noise reduction.

PS: and don't forget that THE LENS creates the picture, so all that creamy look is its merit.
