I have replaced the focusing screen with a custom one (got it from Alex, 2 years ago) and now I can manual focus again with the 5D

The Takumars sure do hold their own beautiful rendering and sharpness!
I really like the first image, with the "captured" snowflakes and the
dimensional effect. Clear and clean!

Thanks Laurence! One thing is for sure: my Takumars still focus as smooth as butter. I simply love them!

I don't know; I just stumbled upon a few of them (new, but custom made from -I think- Minolta screens). It does have a split-image in the center and a ring of microprisms. I also noticed that shims (stickers?) were attached to the sides of the screen.

glad you find a screen, also consider the Canon ee-s, cheap and magic for fast aperture

Thanks Poilu! The EE-S screen is for sure an option if all else fails. But for now the custom screen seems to serve me well!

I have (not build in) a FSB screen, just tested it but somehow I don't like it... it works great to f2.8 but beyond that the split prism gets black - it was cheap... should have bought K3 for my D300s  |

It's always very very impressive to see samples from this lens.
I am just wondering about those deep dark tones in these photographs, although these photographs are not underexposed... My 135/2.5 produces much lighter tone-values in the shadow parts.
Have you done some Curves/Levels adjustment ?
Cheers
Tobias

I don't exactly remember what I did, but it may be a combination of me underexposing the shots a little, and the camera's response. I will try to do more ETTR in the future (Expose To The Right). I'm still trying to get to grips with the 5D. Different lenses need different exposure compensation on the 5D, so hopefully the experience will come soon

Very strong images indeed.
Sharpness (esp. in #2) and contrast (esp. in #1) are amazing...
This is impressive if you have not tweaked the curves in post-processing.
It does not matter you cannot remember. Just take some new photos and show us!
