-40 in Calgary
Have seen some great FF samples from this lens with some Canon 5Ds already so not in doubt that it'll render great results. But is the 36mp really a big improvement compared to the 5D iii's 23.4 mp sensor for MF lenses?
I've heard some claim that the A7 is a better choice for old MF lenses because it doesn't demand such high resolution from the lens compared to the A7R, so if you are planning on using a bunch of old MFs the A7 is a better choice, is that true? |

Only true on wide RF lenses
But retrofocus wide angle lenses are ok (slr lenses) _________________ Lars | Lens collection | Manuellfokus.no |

-40°C or -40°Fahrenheit ?
-40°C is very cold The coldest I've ever experienced was in switzerland in winter on a mountain during a snow storm, 2500-3000m above sea level; -41°C . Definately not nice weather for photography. Some cameras like Kiev 60 already stop working reliable below 10°C ^^ _________________ I'm not a collector, I'm a tester

-40°C or -40°Fahrenheit (+4.4°C )
-40°C is very cold .... |
-40°Fahrenheit is also very cold. You might want to check the conversion. _________________ John |

A great lens! I love that swirly bokeh.
I always wanted to get one, but those are really expensive in Poland (cheapest go for $350). There's also a different version of that lens named Cyclop 85/1.5 and even Cyclop 85/1.2 (sic! but image quality of that one is rather poor). It doesn't have aperture at all, but who needs aperture if you have so thin focus plane _________________ Samples and subjective tests of manual lenses here:

Speaking of Cyclop, I was wondering how it would look in comparison. FF is definitely the format for best Helios results - it really brings out the flaws in the lens; the flaws are what we now value.
When I first looked at -40°, I thought this must be C and is warmer than F, which I'm more familiar. But no, same temperature? I didn't do the conversion. I have never experienced -40F and do not wish to ever. I have been in below zero F and don't like it much. The last time I was in as cold as +8°F, I got a flat tire from the cold and after changing it had to go back home to thaw out and then worked from home that day. I moved south and this weekend was in 50sF and we were complaining. _________________ Regards,
