scientific lens meets first snow

[kds315*]

Just got a 3.5/50mm quartz fluorite lens and took a quick walk while it was snowing... shot fully open at f3.5

Woa, some nice rendering, Klaus! Is this from one of the lenses recently got?

[kds315*]

Yes, I just got that one in today! Test shots....

But it has a serious issue when light is reflected into the lens directly
(those I haven't shown), so it is for controlled environments (= lab) use.

[Katastrofo]

Excellent sharp performer, love the colors.

[kds315*]

That obviously it does, but a big part has the Lumix sensor which is really nice
with nicely saturated colors. (Admittedly I use the old 1/3 stop underexpose method).

[Katastrofo]

I've been thinking about MFT, opens up all those cine lenses possibilites.

[kds315*]

I use that a lot, although it is a lot of modding at times. But going the c-mount
route usually works well - except the risk of vignetting and quite inflated prices.

Fine series Klaus. What will you use the lens for?

Beautiful color rendering!
What lens is that Klaus?

[kds315*]

That lens is mainly intended for UV work (Hamamatsu made it for that)

Here what it is planned for...same Eucharis flower as shown in another thread here:

Very good performance for such a special lens!

[Orio]

Simply stunning.
