I will tell you my own experience with the pancolar 1,8/50.
It's a lens with a very good resolution corner to corner (sure, not the best but very good). Very good contrast and more or less warm according to which version it is.
Till here, all OK. But I didn't find a pic taken with the pancolar in front of which I could say WOW, I like it. All were nice but not very good. Now I feel happy with the S-M-C 1,4/50.
humbly, I think that if you want to go for a win look for a Leica or Zeiss lens. You will not be wrong. But if you want to be moderate in the cost, pancolar, takumar, mamiya, yashica are a good base to try.
Good luck. Rino.

yeah rino, that's kind of what i am seeing, though i dont think ive taken enough pictures w pancolar in enough situations to finally say so. the pictures are 'nice', even 'good', but not 'wow', thats exactly how i feel. now, when i see pix w the tak 1.4 or the planar, i see a lens with a special character, pictures that look a special way. again, i need to use the pancolar more, but at 50mm i do want a 'wow' lens!

my experience is limited, don't have any with the Planars rbelyell
From various 50/55mm incl. the 1.8 Pancolar ( also white MC ) whenever I use the 1.4 Takumar it feels like a homecoming.
The images it produces looks very natural to me, well ballanced. Maybe without any particular wow factor - other than just being right 
Which 50mm satisfies you may come down to personal preferances. Planar is tops, the contrast, the colors...
..one day I will get one too

hm..difficult to say tony
first I had the Super Tak but once I got the S-M-C I stuck to it. I had liked the warmer colors of the somewhat yellowed glass of the S-M-C ( which now have gone )
I believe that the superior coating of the S-M-C should make it more consistent, maybe it sometimes adds to what looks natural, ballanced to me.
about the versions, you may know:
- late model Super Taks also have the S-M-C of the
- S-M-C, and these two share the same full metal body,
- the later SMC is optically ident but has a rubber focus ring

I have Pancolar 50/1.8, 50/2, Supertak 50/1.4 and Contax 50/1.4.
The latter two were on about 2-3 times on my camera (even if the Planar is way better than the Tak). Pancolar is always on. If I'd have to choose a 1.4 I'd go with my Tomokia 55/1.4, far better personality.
Maybe I'm biased about european lenses but I feel they suit my shooting a lot better. Sharpness isn't everything.

Aha! I'm presuming it's a West German copy as it's AE, but I'm not certain! Will check tonight I should have phrased it "I've never had a problem with West German or Japanese Zeiss"

There is no Contax Planar 50mm 1.4 or 1.7 "Made in Germany" .. all of them are AEJ or MMJ
German made ones can be found on Rollei mounts...

In one world plenty of lenses with extra contrast, super saturated colors, megapower of resolution, more real that the reality.....What beautilull (sometimes too much)
It's nice to find a lens, like the SMC 1,4, with which the things are taken like they are. Old SMC 1,4 and old summilux M 1,4, the things like they are.....

......From various 50/55mm incl. the 1.8 Pancolar ( also white MC ) whenever I use the 1.4 Takumar it feels like a homecoming.
The images it produces looks very natural to me, well ballanced. Maybe without any particular wow factor - other than just being right ... |
In one world plenty of lenses with extra contrast, super saturated colors, megapower of resolution, more real that the reality.....What beautilull (sometimes too much)
It's nice to find a lens, like the SMC 1,4, with which the things are taken like they are. Old SMC 1,4 and old summilux M 1,4, the things like they are.....
Regards, Rino. |
ha Rino, I don't know the Summilux, an M lens..
but how very well you express how I too feel about the SMC
