sure makes me appreciate modern high end lenses a lot, but at the same time it almost feels like cheating.
Vinatge lenses are absolute shit by today's standards, my 24-70/2.8 ED wide open takes a giant shit on my Jupiter-3 stopped down to f/16The only reason they are relevant is people larping as Henri Cartier-Bresson, bokehfaggots and a few people who still enjoy shooting a mechanical film camera. I have a full set for my Canon 7 and love them but I', tired of Jewtube faggots memeing them up into unobtanium. I remember when Meyer-Optik Trioplan 100mm lenses for m42 were like 50 bucks, now they are 700 because some Jewtube fag shilled them.

>>4325185you say that yet 99.9% of all photofags just manipulate their pics in some sort of software anyway. So who cares that a lens is able to to capture what it seems more accurately when its going to be manipulated to hell regardless.
>>4325188What the fuck is "microcontrast"?
>>4325198Schizoid nonsense that’s objectively unmeasurable. Same as other such “I overpaid for a shitty old lens” copes as 3D pop
>>4325197You can't photoshop your way into 3000-dollar ED lenses with Flourite elements, f1.2 apertures and nano coatings.
>>4325207t. communist spamming gearfagGo on post more of your shuttle pics lmao, pathetic
>>4325175Falling for this meme inadvertently got me into shooting 35mm because meme lens prices don't apply as often to listings made by attic-cleaners who are selling their whole unrestored camera in "idk the shutter works" condition and don't know what a light seal is. I eventually cleaned up one of the least fucked up bodies I had and put a roll through it, giving myself that worm in the process.
>>4325189This would be a good lens for studio portraits
>>4325175Maximum sharpness and color accuracy is not always the goal. And don't say that you can always soften/desaturate in post. Optical "aberrations" are impossible to fully recreate in software, because they respond differently across focal distances. It's the same reason iPhone/Samsung "portrait mode" is shit and can't truly mimic shooting with a shallow depth of field.Certain effects can only be achieved in camera.
>>4325185aren't you the same tripfag that loves every screwdrive AF nikkor prime except the 28mm/2.8 ordoes 80s not count as "vintage"?

Here is a nice example of the effect.[EXIF data available. Click here to show/hide.]Camera-Specific Properties:Image-Specific Properties:
I recently began collecting some vintage lenses within the last year. I can upload examples if anyone wants.Starting with the 50/1.4 Super-Takumar (8 element version) - known for flaring like hell when wide open but cleans up after stopping down while still retaining character. Pretty solid all around.Then I obtained a 105/2.5 Nikkor (AI version) - this was the one used for the famous Afghan girl portrait. Great lens, and I regret passing it off when I was consolidating my collection because it seemed redundant at the time. Oops.I also bought a Helios 44m-4 for that sweet meme swirl. I still need to try it out some more.My most recent purchases are from the Contax/Yashica line from Zeiss. So far I have the 28/2.8 MM, the 50/1.4 MM, the 85/1.4 MM, and the 135/2.8 AE. I'm really digging this set in particular.Pic related is the Contax 50/1.4.

>>4327824You should have just overexposed. Those highlights in the corner? Worthless. Just overexpose.
>>4327847Alright, I'll have to get over that particular mental block. Overexposure just bugs the shit out of me though.(Picrel is the 105/2.5 AI Nikkor)

>>4327860>>4327847>>4327824i agree about prioritizing the exposure of the subject. hopefully your editing software automatically fixes the stupid color shifting that happens with some sensors. it probably does. i will say that i do like the dark black of this cat and his eyes though. i think the photo is surreal.
I posted this in the fgt but Ill ask here too.Is there any way to put an Arsenal Jupiter-8, (Contax C-Mount, I think?) onto an L-mount Non-Leica rangefinder? Are there any adapters for something like this?

I get heaps of request for this softer kind of look of the vintage lens by clients including this and the Helios 44. Lots of folks want something a bit different than everything else out there shot on super sharp contemporary glass. How many Sigma art lens looks can you stomach? Cold and clinical. Lots of clients say they want something more emotive and these cheap old lenses lend an emotional abstraction to the image that a lot of people are drawn to if used right.

>>4328677Not him but definitely max aperture. These older lenses start to exhibit hexagonal highlights in the background when stopped down.
>>4328677yep wide open
>>4328677Yes wide open and those are fairy lights in the background to add pop to the bokeh. The Zebra auto takumar exhibits classic soap bubbles.
>>4326652I also have the Imagon, made famous by classic Hollywood photographer George Hurrell. Only just got it recently and have only shot with it once. Very interesting halation. Can't wait to try it on portraits as I think think the blooming will create really nice skin glow.

>>4328934Best thing is with the Imagon the amount of softness that you want can be controlled precisely using the 3 different grades of diffuser discs.

>>4328947I think this one is actually good as opposed to the cheesiness of the corvette shot. Some more still life's with the black background would be a sick project. I just looked up the lens, how are you using it?
>>4328950The corvette one is set to maximum diffusion. The flower mid. There is another step down that is quite nice and subtle and probably what I will use for portraiture. I haven't had it long so I really haven't had much of a chance to do more than a couple of quick tests. Set up with the Zork Tubus into the RZ lens base that I bought it with. Then I either put it straight on the RZ or use a Photodiox adapter to my R5.

I'll look into this one.I have a pair of more modern zoom lenses that I can use if I'm taking photos for others, but I've been slowly changing my prime collection over to mostly older glass.

Yo vintage gearfags, I'm thinking of adapting some older, possibly M42 shit onto an M43 body. Planing on dipping my toes in the water with the Industar 50-2 f/3.5 50 mm.Is there any warnings, recomendations, expectations that any anons can give me if I go down this path? Cheers

>>4337114Are you autistic, or just deciding to be unhelpful. Or is there an actual point there you'd like to explain?
I own many lenses. But my gotoo's are the exceptional long barrel Nikkor 35mm f2.8 Ai (with my Nikon D2x), and the unrivalled Nikkor 50mm f2 H.C. Auto/Ai.I also use a Nikkor 28mm f3.5 Ai-S, which is also a very good lens.When using my very portable Nikon FG, I use the second version of the Series E 50mm f1.8 (very good with lens hood) along with the aforementioned 28mm.
