Super Members BTM_Pix Posted August 20, 2017 Super Members Share Posted August 20, 2017 Following on from @mercer thread about mixing lenses, I thought I'd just do some quick grabs from different lenses for.....well, something to do, because its Sunday morning and I'm bored. I thought I'd do a mishmash of a few typical different types, vintages and price ranges that you might adapt and some native ones so you can see how they'd match (or not). Apologies for such a boring test scene but it seemed apt for such a boring test but it has enough elements to work with. So, here are the 12 lenses and the various adapters for our test camera which was the Fuji X-T20. We have the following in C/Y mount Contax Zeiss Vario Sonnar 28-85 f3.3-4 Contax Zeiss Distagon 28 f2.8 Contax Zeiss Planar 50 f2.8 Contax Zeiss Sonnar 135 f2.8 We have the following in Nikon mount Nikon Series E 28 f2.8 Nikon 28-105 AFD f3.5-4 Nikon 24-70 f2.8 G Sigma 35 f1.4 ART We have the following in M42 mount Helios 44 58 f2 Carl Zeiss Jena Floktagon 35 f2.8 And we have the following native lenses FujiFilm 35 f1.4 Fujifilm 60 f2.4 From this we can compare a somewhat matched set (the Contax Zeiss) with some cheap and old to expensive and new not matched set (the Nikons), some old and very cheap (the M42s) with new and native from Fuji. I have also done a couple of shots at different focal lengths from the Contax Zeiss and Nikon zoom. All shots were the same exposure at f4 based on the slowest lens in the group. All shots taken from the same position with the exception of the Contax Zeiss 135 f2.8 which, well, you can guess why that was from further away! All shots are JPEG straight out of the camera and no post matching has been done. Shot order (starting at 1 in top left and ending at 16 in the bottom right) Contax Zeiss Sonnar 28-85 @ 85mm Contax Zeiss Sonnar 28-85 @ 50mm Contax Zeiss Sonnar 28-85 @ 35mm Contax Zeiss Sonnar 28-85 @ 28mm Contax Zeiss Planar 50mm Contax Zeiss Distagon 28mm Nikon Series E 28mm Nikon 28-105 @ 50mm Nikon 24-70G @ 70mm Nikon 24-70G @ 50mm Carl Zeiss Floktagon 35mm Helios 44M 58mm FujiFilm 60mm Fujifilm 35mm Sigma 35mm ART Contax Zeiss Sonnar 135mm I can put the individual files up at some point (not now, I'm going to the beach) if anyone is still awake and interested enough.
