On this camera you can REALLY see the difference that the best lenses make:

100% crop:


specs: EOS 50D at 100 ISO, on tripod. Planar 1.4/50 at f/5.6

(note that this thread will redirect you to the oversize gallery, due to larger size of crop sample).

I was going to say sort of what Poilu indicated - you did a great job and obtaining this highly critical focus...and it shows in the beautiful clarity of the crop.

It's a depression that is not hard to cure, Trifox. This lens can be easily found for around 120 Euros. Wink

I focused with liveview. On the tripod, liveview is hard to beat!
However for the sake of curiosity, I also tried the same shot by focusing with katzeyes microprism collar, and by focusing by FA chip of the Big IS adapter.
All three results were de facto identical.

thanks Larry. The clarity is a cooperation of the lens and the 50D. Smile

In fact the clarity, more than the sharpness itself, is what impresses me.
It looks like medium format like clarity. I hardly ever obtained that with my digital cameras - a few times with the 5D only, so far.

I know this lens -- I've got it -- but the 50D is not in my possession Smile

Laughing right, I was not thinking about that. Rolling Eyes
Well, unfortunately the 50D is not as affordable as the Planar Sad

Unbelievable.. I think the lens clearly out-resolves the sensor in this part of the pic..

I wonder, how noticeble the IQ drop at the corners is with this lens..

An incredible lens. Cool

I have the 1.7/50 and i agree too, it has become my primary lense.. Simply can't take it off the camera.
One of the great features of it is to be used in reverse as a macro, capable of doing a 1:1 . Thnx to Attila for bringing that to my notice...

I also have the 1.4/40 SMC Tak.

What do you guys suggest is it still worth going for the Planer 1.4/50 & does it do the same kinda macro ??

ORIO if possible please upload some more shots from this combo. Its a treat !

There will be no difference for macro. In macro you don't use the lens wide open, and the 1.7 is as sharp as the 1.4.
The advantage of the 1.4 is in the half stop more and in the dimensional rendition of the objects (3d), things that are not important for macro.

I will, when possible.

Ooh so 3D rendering would be different too. That is what i was intrested in.
Orio would it be possible to explain how ?

And another related query is differece between pancolar & planer design.

#Macro ofcourse is a surplus, asked about it so that i can sell off 1.7 if i find a 1.4 planner

I don't know how, but the 1.4/50 has more of that.

I'm not 100% sure but I think that Pancolar is a double-gauss optical scheme like the Planar.
