A sharp and contrasty lens. I have nothing bad to say about it!

Around f/5.6 on all. Sony a7.

Yes it is a boring cheap good lens!
sharp and contrasty across the frame.

Very good pictures, that's a lens I'll get when I see one. I like Rokkors, but mine jump from 28 to 50, a good 35 would be nice.

Thanks Lloydy! I'm missing a 28 instead.

Yes it's almost a little boring, but less so with film.

I would like to try one of those 35mm HG Rokkor's.

Portra 160:

Very nice results, i have one and i like it very much produces very smooth bokeh for a widish lens when used for close focus stuff.

Nice pictures indeed. They colors have a film-like look to them - interesting.

I recently tested the MC W.Rokkor-HG 35 mm f/2.8. Don't know which exact version you shot, but the W.Rokkor-HG performed very ordinary - nothing special about the lens, but also not a bad lens at all Smile

One thing to note, though: My copy has an oily aperture, which seems to be a common problem of this particular version of the 35 mm MC.

Thanks! Ok so the HG is nothing special. My lens is not HG, just MC, different lens I think.

The original color profile in adobe camera raw was boring so I downloaded a pack of custom profiles. I think it was this one:
http://www.piraccini.net/2011/02/profili-colore-sony-a900-per-adobe-lr.html

And choose the faithful profile, it fits theese scenes much better than adobe standard. I love the look of film and usually try to mimic that.



Also, thanks everyone else!

Great pics blotafton!

I especially like Portra 160 and the second from the top.

It's interesting that you're using the color profile in ACR. I never thought to search for color profile for old lenses, I should give it a try I might find something...

Thank you!
I've been experimenting with color lately, it's good fun!

The profiles in the link, I don't think they are made for specific lenses, they work just as well for modern ones!

For my a7 camera. The good profiles are: "faithful" from the link, and already in ACR for the a7, "camera standard" and "camera natural". Try one those for more interesting color!

I'm after film look too Smile
