I will add more files with the days
There are no corrections to the images, not even the usual ones for these shots (so no skin blemishes corrections etc) - just don't have the time
You can use these to evaluate the lenses
All the M42 shots have been taken with a blank (non AF chipped) adapter and a lot of guessing (so please accept some slight focus missing when it happens)
All the shots are medium or high ISO, and hand-held
You will find indication of what lens directly on the page.

Amazing clarity in the full size images, Orio! I especially like Valeria for its fine composition and balance, a truly great shot. Smile

That's a brutally honest lens. It's like walking into a bar, calling the biggest bloke a *%^£( and legging it out the door. Smile

In that case, I recognize that the glass is exceptional, and is in the hands of an outstanding photographer.

I'll withhold comment on the model.

For 8 Euros per 45 minutes that's the best that was available as two models Laughing

I was expecting a superior performance from the Pancolar (so many people buying it at these prices can't be stupid).
But what really surprised me was the Pentacon (photo of Valeria). Man, what a lens for 48 Euros! I can't understand how can it be sold for these low prices. I used to have a Canon EF 2/100. The Pentacon is one stop slower but quality wise beats the socks off it.

I can only see the pancolar 80/1.8 sample. Crisp. honest. slightly shy on contrast.
