I am shopping for a CZ 50mm and I know that Planar is sharper than Pancolar at wide open but what about bokeh? I am a huge fan of creamy bokeh... _________________ -----------------------------------------------------------

I would opt for the Planar, but if you prefer the classic, "warm" look the Pancolar might be the better option. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

BTW
my opinion is the best combo of Sharpness and Bokeh is the Takumars.
Another member has a SMC version in the Marketplace for a nice price.
I have a de-yellowed supertak version there also.
The SMC has better contrast and flare control although, very difficult to tell the difference in most cases.
In my opinion the ST version is nicer build. Both are excellent.
If you can shoot Nikon lenses. There are many to try there as well.
Same for Zuiko especially the "Japan" ones.
I think a lot of guys here have a large collection of 50mm lenses as they are cheap and there are many excellent ones.
It is a fun part of the collection to "play around".
Cheers
Andy
Ok I edit after I see your list.
You have Tomiokas for your Bokeh lens.
Try the Planar 1.7/50 or a later Zuiko 1.4/50 for your sharp lens.
The Zuiko that has just the word "Japan" on the trim ring is the latest batch and the best.
Zuiko had many variations all are good......those are supposed to be the best. _________________ Moderator |

Andy, I agree about the ST.
My father had the ST 1,4/50 (the old with 8 elements). I have a lot of perutz color slides of the principles of the 60's.
The lens seems very sharp (considering the old film) _________________ Konica 2,8/100

Yea I have two "Tomioka" lenses and they are lovely but they don't give the 3D feeling or binocular effect like Zeiss.
I am still waiting for your photos. _________________ -----------------------------------------------------------

If it's that Zeissy 3D you are looking for.
You should really rather take a Planar 1.4/50.
In a nutshell here is the difference.
The 1.7 is sharper (but not much) until about 2.8 were they will become equals in sharpness.
The 1.4 IMHO has better micro-contrast and 3D effect.
The transition of the OOF is smoother and gives more plasticity.
If you are going for a 5oish Portrait lens on a cropped cam.
That Planar 1.4/50 is the lens to choose _________________ Moderator |

I have the 1.4 and the 1.7. The 1.7 is not great condition, with surface marks and internal dust, but works fine, and is mechanically perfect. The 1.4 is in nice condition. I can't say why, but I am much happier with the 1.4. I just like the images it makes.
The 1.7 will go, whenever I can get round to selling it, probably for not very much. I paid £30 for it. |

If your Pancolar isn't yellowish you will find this lens a very good ones.
My father in law used a contax with planar 1,4/50. I never used it but saw the prints.
Sharpness and 3 D, yes it had but no more than my pancolar 50. And for me the pancolar has more yet.
Of course all is a taste question, as the fellows say. _________________ Konica 2,8/100

Planar 1.4/50 is different. |
That's right Orio, I have to learn many many thinks watching here in the forum and "talk" with accuracy. I understand that the pancolar is a copy of planar.
I can't explain how these lens give that different character on the film or ths sensor......I mean [CA+...]
What is that making the difference, the material quality may be?
The DDR tuning technology may be?
And why the planar design is different between 1.7 and 1.4?
New in town, too many questions, I know..... _________________ My flickr___ My Wix___ RailPictures |

The materials, the making... the quality controls... there is a lot of factors besides the optical design.
I have had both the Planar 1.7/50 and the Pancolar 1.8/50 and I rate them on the same level. Both very sharp, with the same type of bokeh.
The Planar 1.4/50 is different because the larger front glass makes it more sensitive to a number of problems typical of very fast lenses like edge performance, aberrations etc. At the same time, it gives the lens a particular personality that sometimes faster lenses, better calibrated, don't have.
This is true of the Planar 1.4 and of other 1.4 lenses as well, like the Nikkor AIS 1.4, which looks different from the 1.8 model. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Thank you sir,
in that case I am going for the 50/1.7 cause the better qc. I watch the prices on ebay and I think that pancolar is over-overpriced [take a look at stil22 completed auctions]
Thank you again. I don't collect lenses, I look for good users, so I' ve changed my mind and I' ll go for a good priced cz 50/1.7.
To be honest [about collections etc] I've just hit an industar 50-2 [mflenses fever]...... _________________ My flickr___ My Wix___ RailPictures |
