There are also helicoid adapters available that are quite affordable and allow for close focusing. I have one from the brand Urth that is fine. But there are more, also for different camera- and lens systems. _________________ For Sale:

Hi,
I have never spent more then 200$ for an old lens, but for this Porst Color Reflex MCM 55mm F1.7 (=Chinon) I did an exception. I think it is worth its money (around 300$).
Cheers from Zurich |
I believe the world's fastest macro lens is the Repro Nikkor 85mm f1.0, for 1:1 shooting. |
Thanks Toby, I do not dare to ask how much it costs...
Cheers. |
To necro-bump this, because why not it's relevant anyway, here's a very nice discussion in English on the FR Nikkor 75mm F1.0 for 1:1 shooting:
https://redbook-jp.com/redbook-e/record3/fr.html
There is also one, more brief, covering the Repro Nikkor 85mm f1.0 you mention.
https://redbook-jp.com/redbook-e/record/rep02.html
Check out that 150mm f1.0!! |
That's not F/1 for either of the lenses it's 1:1 reproduction ratio.
If you check the aperture ring on the '75mm f1' you see it only goes to 2.
The dimensions also show the filter threads are too small to allow a 75mm entrance pupil. A 43mm diameter element fits well with f/2 |

Indeed both the 75mm FR and 85mm Repro lenses are f/1 at infinity. The f/2 notation relates to effective aperture at the intended 1:1 reproduction ratio. _________________ ...See my Numismatic Photography website at: http://www.macrocoins.com

If that was the case the front lens element would HAVE to be at least 75mm wide yet it's only 43mm.
Read up on what aperture is & do the maths rather than relying on reviews that have misread the Japanese data sheet.

You are making the assumption that the entrance pupil is at the plane of the outermost lens(es), which is incorrect in the case of these lenses.
And it would be good to not be condescending to me and the other folks who have replied on this thread, please. _________________ ...See my Numismatic Photography website at: http://www.macrocoins.com

Where ever the entrance pupil is light from infinity can't enter an area bigger than the front element. It is the upper limit of possible entrance pupil sizes. |

Yes, or behind in this case. As it says in the literature above, "Another prominent characteristic of the lens is that the entrance and exit pupils are located far behind the lens, which makes the principal rays (rays passing through the center of each pupil) run almost parallel to the optical axis." _________________ ...See my Numismatic Photography website at: http://www.macrocoins.com

This is a good observation. As @DConvert says, the lens diameter is indeed the limiting factor, for infinity focus, but since the lens can't focus at infinity due ot the entrance and exit pupil locations, it is not limited by the lens diameter when focused at its intended 1:1 magnification. _________________ ...See my Numismatic Photography website at: http://www.macrocoins.com

The FR and Repro Nikkors were developed before the Printing-Nikkors. At that time, they were indeed the best available for 1:1, but the Printing-Nikkors are for sure superior, to anything made then, or today, for macro use in their intended ranges. _________________ ...See my Numismatic Photography website at: http://www.macrocoins.com

ehm - why is it worth 300 bucks? |
it just more collectible than ordinary 55/1.7 lens because it has 3:1 macro. no other reason came to my mind. |
1:3! |
Not too much difference then, less than an order of magnitude...
To be fair the lens does say Macro on the name ring as seen in the first photo http://allphotolenses.com/lenses/item/c_4694.html#prettyPhoto |
When I first read 3:1 I was like, woah, I've never heard of this lens, sounds super interesting, looked at the link, to find a close focus 1:3 that's not so uniq, there are far too many lenses with the "Macro" label when they should be 'Close Focus' at best, but that's marketing for you, "Macro" was a bit of a marketing gimmick for a while, I've seen lots of lenses with slightly closer focusing being marked as "Macro" so the marketing must have worked to some degree for there to be that many of them out there in the wild.
Over the years I've grown to love lenses that can focus closer than normal, it gives me more options for composing a shot that might otherwise be impossible. In the right hands/circumstances it can be a game changer.
Tubes or helicoid adapters can provide that same opportunity with lenses you'd never think of using, like for example an EF 85/1.2LII wide open on tubes, definitely not a typical setup, nor typical results. _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...

I've seen/owned lenses marked "macro" which were capable of only 1:4 magnification. The definition of "macro" has changed over time, at least from marketing perspective. I get a lot of use out of a Nikon 28-105mm "macro" which can only go to 1:2, and by today's standards would not be considered a macro lens, so I'm open to a wide range of interpretations. As long as the image quality is good. _________________ ...See my Numismatic Photography website at: http://www.macrocoins.com

Those are nice images for sure, but in terms of image quality they look just like a pretty average standard lens with close focusing ability IMO. Prices on Ebay are quite wild, in the same territory as some of the Olympus Zuiko OM 50/2 macro's (which is a real macro and fast as well). _________________ For Sale:

Hi,
I have never spent more then 200$ for an old lens, but for this Porst Color Reflex MCM 55mm F1.7 (=Chinon) I did an exception. I think it is worth its money (around 300$).
Cheers from Zurich |
I believe the world's fastest macro lens is the Repro Nikkor 85mm f1.0, for 1:1 shooting. |
Thanks Toby, I do not dare to ask how much it costs...
Cheers. |
As an indication, there´s currenly one for sale on eb@y in the U.S. for USD 2.400,-- _________________ Cheers, Gerhard |
