I've got a bunch of street people photos, mostly slides from back during the 80s when I hung out at Venice Beach, CA a lot. That was the best place I ever found for street people shots.
On the Venice Beach Boardwalk, about 1986. Canon F-1, probably a Vivitar 28-90mm f/2.8-3.5 (one of my favorite walking around lenses back then). Kodachrome 64.
I've got more, which I'll post separately. I'm assuming it's okay to post more than one photo? _________________ Michael

Thanks Larry. I was lucky, because it was one of those occasions where everything fits: the blue uniforms, the red tinted hair, the orange butterfly, and the touches of muted reds and purple in the bokeh, where the muted greens echo the colour of the eyes. I could not have made it better if I arranged that myself.
Plus, like you note, I had the luck to have the lens perfect for this situation: the Sonnar 180 is not the sharpest of lenses, but it has a killer bokeh, and in this shot, bokeh does really keep it all together.
Everything was really like I could ever wish in this image, so I kept it even if I slightly back focused. But in this image the pictorial side is more important than the focus. ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) _________________ Orio, Administrator

Orio, so you feel that the Sonnar is not sharp? Or, just not as
sharp compared to other lenses? The reason I ask is because I have one
"ordered" through the auction site. I had the older version with uncoated
lens and Pentacon mount, and this time I'm trying out the newer
version. In fact, brand new. I like having the reach for floral and
rain forest plant images, as it allows me to avoid laying on the ground
all the time, especially when near an alpine stream. _________________

Orio, so you feel that the Sonnar is not sharp? Or, just not as

Just not as sharp compared to other Contax lenses (or modern Nikon and Canon lenses).
But it's a very old design, this is normal, it is the Olympia design from 1936. Zeiss did update it a bit for the Contax version, but it's not as advanced as the long teles from Nikon or Canon that we are used to today, with APO build, aspherical elements, high refraction or fluorite glasses, close range correction etc... In comparison, the Sonnar 180 is really a retro lens.
Contax itself made sharpest zoom lenses in the range (both the 80-200 and 100-300 Vario-Sonnars are sharper than the 2.8/180).
But none of these lenses has the luscious bokeh of the 2.8/180. It is clearly a portrait lens and as such it outperforms every other 180mm that I know of. It should be used in the close to medium range, that is where it really shines. Used at infinity for landscape is still a good lens, and adequate for most uses, but it's not super, for instance you have the CA in high contrast edges such as line of trees over sky.
At least this is my experience.
I am sure you will love the Sonnar 2.8/180. For the type of pictures you make, where you concentrate on meaningful details and luscious green bokehs, it looks like the perfect 180. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Olympic Sonnar stopped down to f8 or more is even better than most of the never lenses in 180 - 200 mm range at infinity I've tested. Naturally , you can't still compare it to wide-open APO-Telyt 3.4/180 but given it's age the overall performance of this lens is amazing. _________________ .: APO-Maniac :. |
