Samy 12/2.0 in the Building
I ordered the Samy 12/2.0 some time ago and it has finally arrived. I've
been critical to the QC earlier and am pleased to see that this one was clearly better assembled than the 14/2.8, that I had to fix both the scale, infinity and some decentering... This time its only a tad over focusing at infinity, but that's way better than the other way around and the scale seems about right. In my first assessment I can't se any heavy decentering. I've paid for all my lenses with my own money... A SOOC (Straight out of Camera) JPG at f/2.0 can be found here over the weekend: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b1zq2rov0tu66tk/i160506%237817.jpg?dl=0 I might write an evaluation of the M system later and perhaps post it on my blog in the fall. Edit: Pasted the wrong URL. Corrected now. Sorry. ;-P -- teleportation kills |

Sure, there's amount barell distortion in the lens. I'm in the process of finetuning the profile. No keystoning was used in the processed file. -- Bats can't tell us apart! ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
