Test Shots
(clicking makes with the embiggening)
Chinon 55mm f1.4, old, old, incredibly old M42 manual lens. Both shot at f1.4, the can slightly overexposed (in original; fixx0red now) through my own fault. Thoughts: detail on focal plane is crisp, edge contrast chroma is minimal, bokeh is surprisingly smooth. Don’t know how the latter will fare on single light points, though; don’t know how many blades the aperture has. Also: gives camera a satisfying heft again (since standard kit lens is very light and the body weighs less than my old Nikon).
Still, for (edit; stupid memory) sixty-five quid, that’s a damn bargain.
