These were shot wide open on the Nex5n. Shutter speeds, ISO are different but not recorded. I'm still getting acquainted with this new camera. No PP, only resized.

Well, not the best samples I've seen from this lens, even without PP.
I have this too, and remember it as quite good?!? _________________ Lars | Manuellfokus.no |

I think the focus is slightly of. And the last image looks kinda blurred due to motion.
Maybe try shooting in the daylight some time? I always find it really hard to tell if a lens is nice in tungsten light. _________________ //Tijmen

I have two copies of this lens (and thinking of getting a few more) because I've liked some shots that I've seen from it (maybe yours?). But both of my copies had a filter stuck on them. This copy, I finally managed to unscrew the filter, but the grease on the helicoil was very stiff. I did manage to loosen it enough to focus with considerable effort. The glass looks to be pristine, so it just needs to be dismantled and re-lubed...which shouldn't be too difficult. I did take some shots with it outside and liked the overall color, etc., but I didn't take notes, and shot with dozens of lenses over a few days. I just remember thinking the colors seemed to correspond with my memories of what an Oreston looked like. I'm still getting the hang of this camera...not used to focusing on a LCD screen. I plan on getting the EVF, but it will have to wait awhile. _________________ Cameras; Sony Nex5n Lenses; Konica Hexanons; 21mm f2.8, 40mm f1,8, 50mm f1.4, 50mmf1.7,57mm f1.4, 100mm f2.8, 135mm f3.2, 200mm f4, MC Helios 77M-4 50mm f1.8, Jupiter 8 50 f2, Super Takumar 85mm f1.9, Vivitar Series 1 90mm f2.5 (Macro), Steinheil Munchen Culminar 85mm f2.8, Steinheil Munchen Exagon 35mm f2.8, Jupiter 37A 135mm, Astra Berlin 135mm f3.5, Angenieux 180mm f4 , Tair 3-PhS 300mm f4.5 |

This is one of my favourite lenses, It's reasonably sharp, has interesting bokeh and produces amazing colours.
I'm going to do a shameless link dump now

All of the shots were with the meyer, the only post processed images (from memory) are the skaters.
Cheers,
