Next up, I found a side lit scene with a few geranium blossoms to focus in on.
#Most interesting film bokeh lenses manual#
I set it to manual after metering and took some shots, using a tripod to ensure the camera didn’t move while I swapped out lenses. The camera metered the scene at 1/250 sec and f/8. I would start by shooting a straightforward scene of some plants and whatnot on my front patio. I loaded up my trusty Pentax ME Super (probably my favorite aperture priority camera of all time) with some Fuji Superia 400 (which is my favorite 400 ASA budget color negative film right now) and got down to business. I set them on the picnic table to take a picture of them and said to myself, why don’t I throw in the SMC Pentax-M 40/2.8 pancake and SMC Pentax 55/1.8 in the mix just for fun? So I did. I started by grabbing my SMC Pentax-M 50/1.4, SMC Pentax-M 50/1.7 and SMC Pentax-A 50/2. Methods, materials and madness(s) My Pentax ME Super + lens family Nonetheless, I was intrigued by the possibility of the 50/1.4 being “better” than my 50/1.7, so I decided to conduct a little experiment. I shoot between f/5.6 and f/11 90% of the time and guess what? Almost every lens is sharp at those apertures. I could not give a damn about how the bokeh looks or how sharp the lens is wide open. I had used the 50mm f/1.7 forever and never really had a desire to seek out the 50/1.4 Why? I mostly shoot street and landscape. I ended up with a copy of the SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.4 quite by accident and it made me think. And guess what? We may have different opinions, which is great! Variety is the spice of life. This test is for me to see what I like best and you to see what you like best. All of these statements are wrong, but some are less wrong than others.Įverything is in the eye of the beholder. Cruise around photography forums and you will see similar statements about Nikon, Canon, Minolta, Olympus, etc., lenses as well. I get tired of people saying things like “The is just a dog but the is brilliant” OR “the is so much worse than the ” OR “The bokeh on the is too distracting”… Lens review: Pentax prime comparison - five lenses head to head from 40mm to 55mm - EMULSIVE Close Search for:
