So, got the group-buy lenses today; voytek's is on its way, I'm meeting Bruce tomorrow for a handoff, and Paul from NY will get his shipped as soon as I get his money order
Took a fairly long walk an hour before the sun set to snap some shots. Yes. I like it, just like what I saw, very sharp in-focus area, fantastic bokeh area. This is the first "new" lens I've purchased for my K20D in quite a while!! (OK, 4 months, but do you know how many used/manual lenses I've purchased in the mean time? )
Some samples; not the best, some of these shots (e.g., first flower one) was shot at 1/20s handheld (!!! Thanks, builti-in IS ) due to rapid loss of daylight.
One personal drawback for me, which is shared among a couple other lenses around this focal distance range (Sonnar 135/3.5, Takumar 135/3.5), is that because I have a KatzEye split prism focus screen in my K20D, f3.5 will already start to cause slight blackout in the prism. I guess that's part of the tradeoff. All in all, very satisfying purchase, thanks in no smart part to the 3 other members that joined in the group buy, so thanks! _________________ Sony α7R, Pentax 67II, Kiev-60, Hasselblad 203FE, 903SWC, Graflex Norita 66, Mamiya M645 1000s, Burke & James 8x10, Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic (4x5 and 3x4), Century Graphic (2x3), R.B.

It doesn't completely black out, mind you, but it starts to get dark, especially when the angle is bad.

Hmmm, and your KatzEye prism doesn't go dark at all regardless of the angle you peer inside @ f3.5?? Yours must be a better KatzEye than mine At f3.5, depending on the anlge I look in, one half of the prism will go almost completely dark. Of course, it's a rather extreme angle that I'd usually never find myself using, but it's enough to introduce noticeable fluctuations in brightness of one or the other half of the split prism to make it visually annoying for me.

Did you see this thread?
http://forum.mflenses.com/set-of-contax-focusing-screens-t16915.html
I've tried my AL90SL with this new screen in and it's a winner.
The Center Microprism circle gets a bit darker only in low light.
It's a 100% winner. The screens are on ebay sometimes search contax.
It's like I finally can use my 5D _________________ Moderator |

Oooh, very cool, will have to try this! My 5D currently has the screen I got from Alex, which is nice enough, but having a Contax screen in modern DSLR.... that's just SEXXXXAY!

Anyone cheaper? I'm very angry because I missed a lens on ebay the other week, it went for $255 and I screwed up.
I guess cameraquest are about the only ones that has those in stock... But with those prices it isn't hard to figure why.
But sooner or later prices will rise and the will get them sold, with great profit. But I'm not that desperate... yet! |

Yes, I do. |
Hmmm, and your KatzEye prism doesn't go dark at all regardless of the angle you peer inside @ f3.5?? Yours must be a better KatzEye than mine At f3.5, depending on the anlge I look in, one half of the prism will go almost completely dark. Of course, it's a rather extreme angle that I'd usually never find myself using, but it's enough to introduce noticeable fluctuations in brightness of one or the other half of the split prism to make it visually annoying for me. Nothing I couldn't live with, though |
Did you see this thread?
http://forum.mflenses.com/set-of-contax-focusing-screens-t16915.html
I've tried my AL90SL with this new screen in and it's a winner.
The Center Microprism circle gets a bit darker only in low light.
It's a 100% winner. The screens are on ebay sometimes search contax.
It's like I finally can use my 5D |
Andy:
What model contax has this screen?
If you should happen to use an A/F confirm adapter will the red square still light and show? _________________ Ron |

Hi Ron
It is the original RTS that I swiped the screen from.
Yes the AF confirm does blip as usual.
The center of the AF patern and the center of the micro prism area do not match up.
I can live with that. The VF is a joy to use now. _________________ Moderator |

Thanks Andy.
What I always used to use with my M/F film cameras was a split screen.
Is this a split screen. Sorry if this seems dumb. _________________ Ron |
