More Petzval
Blog:
http://jonaseklundh.se/pages/Mer_Petzval?lang=en I'll probably post more of these as time goes by. I were over at a friend for barbecue and brought the Petzval, this time mounted on the Sony A7 with a Nikon adapter, and the focus peaking and focus magnification in the EVF certainly made it easier to focus. It's not razor sharp, but really good overall. http://jonaseklundh.se/aimg209462.jpg ILCE-7, 0.0 mm, f/0.0, 1/1000 sec., ISO 100 http://jonaseklundh.se/aimg209463.jpg http://jonaseklundh.se/aimg209464.jpg ILCE-7, 0.0 mm, f/0.0, 1/3200 sec., ISO 100 http://jonaseklundh.se/aimg209465.jpg ILCE-7, 0.0 mm, f/0.0, 1/125 sec., ISO 100 http://jonaseklundh.se/aimg209466.jpg ILCE-7, 0.0 mm, f/0.0, 1/160 sec., ISO 100 -- Sandman[.net] |

I'm still not sure I would want to go this way though. |

How are they supposed to differ from a regular wide-aperture lens? Does anyone really consider them an improvement? There is something curiously disorienting about the photos. First thought is wide aperture, but then of course a number of elements seem inconsistent with just that, and some manner of software processing comes to mind. But then that doesn't quite work as an explanation. Reminds me of the preference/'realism' some get from analogue/vinyl music systems :-) -- Cheers, Rob |

Not all do, though. -- Sandman[.net] |

However, no one has to like the look, just because it's old. There are lots of old looks I like. The Petval bokeh simply isn't one of them. I don't like haggis, either. -- PeterN |

What I meant was that the optical principles are now available for testing for anyone with $600 to spare. I agree that the lomogryphy implementation probably isn't the best one through history. But thats a guess since i haven't had the opportunity to study others. Back in the days they were made for large format view cameras, I believe and not of the same design that's sold now. -- teleportation kills http://tinyurl.com/androidphotography |
