I want lenses with spherical aberrations. How do I identify lenses likely to produce them?
I also want lenses with low contrast, preferably low contrast and spherical aberrations
Old korean glass
>>4382385look at sample images, flickr pools and random reviews are a good start
>>4382396you mean like samyang?>>4382398am I just supposed to look at every lens? are there any indicators?
>>4382400Yeah, Samyang/Phoenix/Kalimar stuff from the 80's is pretty low contrast with many aberrations, in good conditions they are honestly not that bad
>>4382385Just buy Fujifilm
>>4382385Just buy cheap kit lenses
>>4382385My local camera shop has boxes of unloved gear, mostly k-mart tier lenses with various flaws. He's too honest to sell them as AAAAAA+++++ MINT on ebay & will accept any offer. Check your local shop for bins of misfit gear.
>>4382385They say leica on them
>>4382385you likely want lense all standard glass elements with some coatings, like single coating purple or green or blue, or multicoating without nanosurface features, zoom has more of this thing than prime
