Hi folks
I already have a mint 1.8/50 Hexanon but I got a bargain job lot of Konica that included the 1.7/50. It's larger than the 1.8 and looks like an earlier design although they are quite similar in appearance. The 1.8/50 is a great lens, razor sharp so i have high hopes for this 1.7 as it's said to be better.
Seems like a cracking lens to me, going to test it further today.

That sky is a sharpness killer when the lens is prone to flare.
But the constrast is good. And the resolution power was affected.

It was one of the worst days for photography, no light, very dull and grey, this lens deserves better conditions for sure.

Cheers Bruce, it is a lovely spot, just need to shoot it again in good sunlight.
I try to get the feeling of immersion with these panoramas so I am pleased you get the feeling of being there, that is my goal with this type of work.

Yes, bad day indeed. Lots of PP in terms of exposure correction and contrast.brightness, also increased vibrance. Shot in RAW.

I got the exposures a bit wrong and the images looked very flat so extensive PP was needed. I much prefer to keep PP to a minium if possible but living here we so often have bad light to work with so it's inevitable.

Yes, I know what you say , I had also this problem ...If you allow me a suggestion , try to keep out the sky from the frame on such a light .Not easy ,that means shooting closer subjects . Then , PP ,if needed ,does a better job.
