I am not a guru but i can answer your question. This is how you calculate the effective focal length 50mm on a APS-C sensor is 80mm (1.6 x 50mm = 80mm) 50mm on a full frame is 50mm itself. The same lens would appear to be wider on the 5D MkII. |

Pawan the 50mm lens is the most versitile lens and its loved by one and all, the reason is, it is a lens which replicates or sees exactly what you see with your eyes, so you dont have to look through the camera to compose. This is a lens which would give you amazing lowlight pics at the same time act as a wide angle lens as well. You will know what you were missing once you get a full frame DSLR. 18mm kit lens will give you great wide angle shots unlike a crop sensor. Some day i wish to upgrade to a full frame DSLR, provided i sill have this hobby. Pramod |

I have read that its not too stellar on a digital body. But I had the opportunity to use one when I was in the USA and as expected it was not too great near abouts wide open, but was brilliant stopped down. People rave about this lens on a film body. A lot of lenses including the very good 24mm is also a digital victim and the 28 and the 24 were very popular and sharp lenses during the good old film days. |

I originally posted a question seeking opinion on a Kiron 105mm Macro lens which I was getting, I missed it because could not take decision in time as it was not cheap and someone here suggested Nikkor :-) now there was simply no Nikkor Macro in that era ( 1950 to 1975 ) which could be considered a competition for that lens. With this background it should be clear that consideration was vintage manual focus lens which are still useful and optically match / outperform modern digital lenses. I've come to the conclusion that you are prone to inaccurate, sweeping generalizations. Whatever the earlier context of your discussion, your post about the Nikon 28mm was wrong. My answer was to that. And you'd be wrong when you say the 28/2.8 Ais is not a good performer on digital. Here is proof - NRFOTO Bjrn Rrslett (a perfect score on cropped sensor and full frame digital). Incidentally, the Micro Nikkor 55/3.5 was first sold in 1961. Its an entirely subjective opinion whether it can compete with the lens you mention. But to say there were no macro lenses from Nikon at the time would be wrong. Google is your best friend and I am sure you will find correct links if you search for manual focus 28mm F2.8 or 28 F1.4 or 24mm comparison tests And I suggest you use it before giving inaccurate information. I also happen to provide links to back up what I'm saying but I haven't seen a single one from you. Please search on these lenses on net or visit some vintage dealer you will be pleased , Carl Zeiss Jena was East German where as Carl Zeiss was in west Germany , Contex is legendary film camera. I am not simply rich enough to buy all the contex , Schnider and CZJ but that does not mean that they are not good. Go to some forums like MF lenses forum and check opinion and images if you like. No wonder I'm confused, perhaps its Contax with an A that you are talking about and not Contex. You really need to do your research on the internet a lot better. And just like Contex, I'd never heard of Ashai either. Asahi is a different matter. Laugh as much as you like but fact is that Nikon and Canon were not in same league in MF era as others they were considered amateur stuff and not serious pro , In a war situation whatever equipment is available cheaply is used and to an extent the Nikons and Canons found respect after press used them. Yeah, it's the cheapness of the cameras that did it for pros in a war situation and not their bullet-proof (pun intended) reliability. May be I messed up between 1.4 and 2.8 in long chain but that does not change the basic point. As I've pointed out, that's not the only thing you messed up on. Please be a little conservative with your advice. Perhaps you know a lot about Kirons, Chinons etc. you should restrict your advice to those and not mouth off on makes you know little about. People read this site for the quality of its information, not wild, uninformed discussion. |
