Can this be any good on crop body , i am thinking to use it on tube for 1:1 work if i can get it for reasonable price
does the fact that is a medium format lens degrade the quality on crop body
any info or experience? thanks! Very Happy

Very Happy Very Happy his exact words was "for macro you need a very sharp and high res lens and because mf covers bigger area the lens res on the crop will not be as good as canon 100 macro and it will be even worse because of the extender needed"
Very Happy this person shoots L series ZOOMS only Embarassed

Seriously if your browse this forum how people could make excellent macros without dedicated macro lenses...

Surely a good dedicated macro lens will produce better result than any generic lenses . If you need good macro lens , take a look what is available for your budget. Nikkor 55mm f3.5, Olympus OM 55mm f3.5 can be dirt cheap with great IQ.

Hi Attila
The reason why i would like to try it is i might get it for 40 us dollar Smile
and because it is a makro planar i thought it will be better than a generic non makro lens the only disadvantage is that it can not go near to 1:1

Does makro planar then mean that is only a close focussing planar and not a true macro design ? and maybe better result from takumar 50/4 macro for 1:1 work?

A similar (stupid) thing was once posted elsewhere (photo.net) and the Zeiss marketing manager then answered. He mentioned that Zeiss designs lenses always to max possible resolution and not stop when a certain limit is reached - in that case the permissable circle of confusion for MF format which would be of coursde much larger than for APS format.

I trust that, since I made a few tests and the resuts were excellent. It is just that these Hasselblad lenses are very bulky and heavy...

LOL!

A working Hasselblad/ Zeiss with good glass for 40usd is a steal!

Get it (and ask him if he has more Wink ), you can always trade these.

The only real disadvantage of a Hasselblad lens is that it is BULKY and HEAVY

I use Hasselblad lenses + adapter Hassel/PK with my Pentax K10D.
Planar 2.8/80, Sonnar 4/150, Distagon 4/50 are pretty comfortable- Sonnar 5.6/250 not quite

LOL
what lens do you want?

kidding ... i think it is very decent, however, you probably need an expensive Hasselblad to xx adapter, but Hasselblad ... that is like getting a Mercedes, whereas Canon, Nikon and Pentax are like Honda and Toyota. Honda and Toyota build very good reliable cars ... and some are even excellent, but a lot of people still prefer more expensive Mercedes, BMW or Audi.

Damn !!!! Contacted the guy again to tell him that i am picking the lens up in person (300km round trip) and pay cash.....Then comes all excuses,lens is co-owned by family member, must first finalize with her...will call back......i call again, he tells me wife doesn't want to sell because lens is from inheritance Rolling Eyes
Why advertise in classifieds if not sure you want to sell !!
I guess ..if it sounds too good to be true it normally is
I am well and truly p.ss.d off !! Twisted Evil

Thanks Attila
At least today i won on your local auction site a lens that i still wanted but could not find up to now ,super takumar 50mm/ 1.4 in mint condition with sp1000 spottie for ( 40 US as well)

It s not the makro planar but also a good buy for a lense that is not so common here. looks like all the spotmatics here were sold with takumar 55mm/f2 and the 1.4 quite rare

Don't worry Daniel, there is always "next time"...
Or if a friend and collector once told me,
"you find the rearest items if you can wait long enough..."
