Question about canon 0.95

[tammyb]

Can i use Canons 0.95 on my Canon 5D Mark II? And if i can, wich adapter do i have to get?

Kind regards

[Attila]

no, 0.95 is rangefinder lens Leica screw mount, even if you can mount it with adapter working distance will be limited to close up works or even more worst.

Perhaps this article is interesting for those who intend to use a super fast lens on a digital camera:

I saw several shoots with this lens from my friend who is one of the best photographer what I know on Sony A7R , this is not Noctilux.. I don't see point to pay for this lens $$$ an 1.4 any lens what is fit into your camera will serve you same well or even better.

I like images from the Canon 50/0.95 lens on a Sony Alpha 7:

Does someone has informations about the microlens angular efficency of the Sony alpha 7 cameras?`It seems DXO does not perform further measurments - or don´t puplish them.

Up to know I did not find exacter microlens informations about this new camera- and I am very happy with my EOS 5D.
This article is nearly 4 years old, directly afterwards was some discussion, but it slowed down.

I found the Konica Hexanon 1.4/57 to be markedly superior to the Canon 1.2/58, and a lot cheaper.

Thanks a lot to all of you!


why i want this lens? Well, i fell in love with the bokeh I almost only use old lenses this Days, cause i love the artistic feeling i get with them.

And i really appreciate all your help. I love to photograph, but i'm really bad with all the mecanic talk )

Yes I love mirror lens, but I still don't have any, really would love to buy Rubinar 300 but that seems impossible This Chines Mitakon 50/0.95 - does that fit the Canon 5D Mark II?

I must look up the other one you tiped me about, Konica Hexanon? I will look that up

Thanks a lot!

Hi tammyb,

Maybe you got a bit confused, the other members were talking about mirrorless camera , not mirror lenses.

These cameras like the NEX, A7, etc let you use almost any manual lens available with the proper adapter.

Also, the konica lens Ian was referring to won't let you reach infinity with your canon camera unless the adapter has a glass element, which can affect IQ.

The A7 series don't perform well with wide angle rangefinder lenses, the wider the angle the more pronounced the shortcomings O believe. But with slr lenses they are pretty much spot on. You probably know that.

[Lightshow]

The A7 series are great for legacy glass, if you really want to use that lens, hold on to it till you get a camera that can use it.
Most of my glass buying has been to get the glass, not to get glass that matches a body, because I might use a body for 3 years, and the glass for 10x that.

[Gerald]

I also think that the Sony A7 is one of the best platforms to use with legacy lenses.

One of the things that made me choose the Sony A99 instead of the A7 was the larger A99 body that balances better with large lenses and is more comfortable to handle. However, many people prefer the A7 precisely because it is smaller.

The A99 has internal stabilization in the body, but in practice this does not work well because adapters usually come with chips for emulating 50mm lens. It's a shame that Sony does not allow manually setting the focal length.

A thing that is unique in the A99 is the fully articulated LCD. In the other FF cameras like Sony A7, Canon 5D and 6D, and Nikon D600 and D800, the LCD is fixed, or just tiltable (Sony A7).

The high point of all current FF Sony models is the electronic viewfinder, EVF. I know this is a controversial subject, but, oh boy, the EVF is what the doctor ordered for using with manual lenses!

There are a few cases where the OVF may have some advantage over the EVF. For example, in an outdoor scene with lots of light (on the beach, for example), you SEE better with the OVF, but you PHOTOGRAPH better with the EVF! In almost all other cases, you SEE and PHOTOGRAPH better with the EVF.

Advantages of the EVF:

1. WYSIWYG
2. Review directly in the viewfinder.
3. All information can be seen in the viewfinder.
4. Real-time view of the effects of setting white balance, exposure compensation, etc.
5. Focus accuracy not subject to misadjustment of mirror, focus sensors and ground glass.
6. Image always bright even with small apertures (F11, F16, F22) or high-magnification macro lens.
7. 5X or 10X zoom for ultra precise focus adjustment.
8. Focus peaking for manual focusing in video recordings.

Finally, I would like to emphasize a feature that the Sony A99, A7 and most Canon cameras have, but the A7r does not have: the so called Electronic First Curtain. The EFC is extremely efficient to avoid shutter-induced vibration. Try shooting with an ultra telephoto lens, or a macro lens with 1:1 magnification, using a shutter speed of, say, 1/15s, even on a tripod, and you will understand how important the EFC is.
