I have a Domi in the drawer that came in a bundle with the lens I really wanted, but I've never used it. That may be about to change...
Seeing the samples here, it seems that it was a simple budget lens that produced some sort of satisfactory result that would have been ok for the vast majority of users who would never have enlarged a print beyond what the photo lab gave them.
Maybe it's had a rough ride because we are now so used to better quality glass for not a lot of money and the humble Domi gets slated undeservedly - I don't think anyone ever claimed it was a great (or even a good) lens, when it was current.
If we judge it by the standards of the typical users of the day, it probably comes out better. It is somewhat amusing that the vast majority of Helios 44 owners back then didn't realise what they had, but they did know it wasn't bad. The Domi was just another standard lens option, albeit a cheaper one and performed more in line with its price than the Helios did.

I've never seen any samples from this lens, but looking at those images it cannot be as bad as many make out.

Not to compete with the nice shots shown above (I specially like Peter's oldies  ) but to show how does perform my best Domiplan on the Oly E-330.
All of them taken at ISO 400.
1. Closest focus (0,75m) and wide open (2. . Bizarre bokeh...
2. Set to F/8.0 to get some sharpness (all the remaining)
3.
4.
5.
6.
Not as awful as I recalled, but definitely not a bright lens...

Who can resist a Domiplan challange. Great idea!
I originally planned to test a D200 that I have been offered to bye, but decided that this must be given top priority.
Stopped down a bit it's maybe not as bad as I remebered, but it's not exactly the first lens I will grab from the drawer in the future either.

Dave, I traded in a little Industar-50 when I got the Domi and even with 6x4 prints you could immediately see the much poorer quality. With slides it made a huge difference. The reason it sold well was that it was very much cheaper than even a Tessar, and a Pancolar or a Takumar were totally out of reach for the vast majority of people in those days, me included.
So I think the real point we need to understand now is that there are far better lenses available for the same price or even less today, for instance the Helios as you say, so the reason we bought Domis back then just doesn't apply. It's not worth buying one.

Thanks! A challange like this deserves to be taken seriously
The ones I could get reasonably sharp was at f/8. Wide open it's a slightly different story.
Is there a pre-set function on a Domiplan by the way?
I haven't been able to find one, and on the Pentax with M42 adapater the automatic F-stop doesn't work. I had to open up and jam the iris actuator in order to get it to manual function.

My contribution to this challenge. Today´s quick shots with Domiplan on short macro ring (hope this is not cheating ). Both wide open and hand held. Developed with RawTherapee without any color boost, only exposure correction. I definitely like the colors on booth and bokeh on second picture. Not sharp but like painting. Maybe poor man´s Trioplan...

Good night:
I think that all these good photos, they demonstrate that the "Cooke" Domiplan, it is not a lens so bad as some of they of them believe.
Also it is necessary to remember that these cheap lenses allowed to many people to be able to buy cameras reflex.

Some super photos already, well done all!
Here's a fun one from earlier this evening of Tasha's Nabaztag - an electronic bunny (NOT that type!!). I took it in the dark so as not to interrupt Harry Potter
This was taken with the one stuck wide open (I found it attached to a Praktica L in a box  ) Those lights flash like crazy, so I used a 4 second exposure to make it look a little bit mad
Oooh how I wish I could just use that unsharp mask command a little...

Sven , how did you manage to "jam the iris actuator " ? I took a Domiplan apart and modifying the diaph mechanism appears to be not obvious ...

The best example so far!
Wow, you eat some weird stuff in Oz. I've tried some tough old kangaroo steaks but WTF is that??

The Moleman is close enough, deep fried octopus and a favourite fast food amongst the local Vietnamese community. Gotta say I'm quite partial to them as well.
If the roo steak was tough then it was overcooked. Now if you eber want to chomp on a decent sized drumstick nothing beats emu. Gotta love our edible coat of arms. |
