Just for fun and to tune up your already formidable psychic powers, guess what lens was used.
All were shot wide open, except for one!
There are five different lenses. No cheating by peeking at the file names!

Kind of pointless to post guesses when one can check the results just by hovering the mouse over each photo—I spoiled the answers to myself accidentally as I scrolled down the page.

Hey this is my fave lens that I won't sell it Very Happy

I even sure it open between F 5,6 - 8
As other lenses, I don't have Zeiss macro planar 60/2,8 or Fujinon 50/1,8. I had Pancolar 50/1,8 but my friend bought it...oops did I mention the name Very Happy

IAZA, I just bought the Volna recently (from super nice member JeffZen). Haven't had time to use it much. I think it was around 5.6.

I did not use my or Zeiss macro planar 60/2,8 or Fujinon 50/1,8 in this test, nor the Pancolor.

Since you can scroll over the images to see what lens was used I'll go ahead and say that the one that was the sharpest was the Rollei 50/1.8 and it was used with an 8mm extension tube. The rest were not used with tubes. I was also surprised at the IQ of the Nikkor-H 50/2.

All good lenses. I'm getting a collection somehow without really trying too hard. I did splurge and buy a mint Pancolor with original hood today plus a Schneider Kreuznach Xenar 50/2.8 in M42. Woot!
