A comparison of standard primes

[Sirrith]

Got bored again and decided to test all my ~50's

Shots were wide open with all lenses, some were cropped to make framing similar, slight exposure adjustment, default LR sharpening +25, no other PP.

This is just to show some characteristics of the lenses e.g. bokeh.

Canon EF 50/1.8:


Volna 9 50/2.8:


Pentacon 50/1.8:


CZJ Pancolar 50/1.8 zebra version:


Industar 50 m39 slr red "P":


Helios 44-2 new barrel:


Helios 44-3M:


Helios 44-2 MMZ zebra:


And not a 50, but just for fun
Jupiter 9 85/2:

Remarkably similar really.
Probably not a surprise. I think the Canon and the Pancolar are the same design.

The Canon has pretty good bokeh actually.
