Porst 55mm 1:1.2 and Fujinon 135mm f2.5

[Ernest]

Hi everyone! It's my first post here so hello

I would like to ask you a question what you think about:
- Porst 55mm 1:1.2
- Fujinon 135mm 1:2.5

Thanks!

Welcome ! I did make an own thread from your post.

I had Porst 55mm f1.2 good lens , sharpness also ok at wide open , but nothing special. I don't know nothing about Fujinon I just heard they are nice ones.

I have a Porst 55/1.2, and compared it to the SMC Pentax 50/1.2 : the Pentax has a smoother bokeh (Porst's bokeh is also a bit more difficult to handle), slightly better contrast, sharpness seems to be very close, it is hard to say which lens is better on my 6MPix sensor. The Porst is IMO woth having it.

Hello Ernest. I'm watching that Porst too.

Ernest: That Fujinon you see is way too expensive. Even the f3.5 on there seems high.

The Fujinon is a very nice lens (most of them are), I'd rate it better than e.g. Takumar equivalents. Price depends on the deal you find; I seem to have accumulated two of the EBC Fujinon 135mm f/2.5's without even trying. But if it's expensive nowadays, I'll probably sell the extra one… =)

The Porst I haven't tried but based on samples I've seen it's more of a novelty lens with potentially interesting (but not smooth) bokeh wide open, but poor sharpness wide open and at other apertures same or worse than much cheaper f/1.4 lenses. Wouldn't pay much for it.
