there is an exactly the same lens under Auto Chinon Multi Coated, Revuenon and other brands PK mount which can be EOS-ed. Manufacturer probably Tomioka or believe it or not Leica/not sure, mainly based on conclusions/. top quality lens distinguished by the 0 zero mark on the aperture ring. not only the glass is Top but also the construction.

hi, save yourself some money and buy a cheap 1.7 lens as they render best sharpness overall. many on ebay below 50e
if you are on the search for a Bokeh, a 1.4 has better bikeh for the same apertures so go for the Zeiss. or a Af Sigma 50 1,4 m heavy but modern lens

or be brave and buy this ones. seems very good

Nice pages! Just a little correction, you’ve got the Nikon 45 listed as Ai-S but it’s an Ai-P lens, meaning it is chipped.

Hi, thanks for the post on pancake lenses, really useful. If you need a photo taken with the nikkor ais 50 mm f 1/8 (a lens I simply adore), try this one (http://www.rgbphotos.info/2008/09/aperitivo-e-cross-process.html). Let me know if you need something different.

Ciao

Hi. Thanks for the wonderful review. I am just wondering between two lenses for my canon 5D. Ultron 40mm f2 and Carl zeiss 50mm f1.4. Both are now electronically compatible with Canon. Which one is your preference? Another option for me is to buy an adpapter and Contax 50mm f1.7. I have tried Canon 50mm 1.4 and 1.8 but not satisfactory. Thanks Charlie

Strictly speaking, the mount is called “Konica AR”, not Konica-Minolta KM, since this was long before the Konica-Minolta merger, at which time Konica had abandoned the SLR market.

good article. informative. even made me more interested in pancake lenses! i have a Olympus E-420 and was curious about Zuiko’s pancake (F/2.8) but was somehow still holding back, being not well informed yet on how it will help me with my photography.

now after reading your article- i am now more informed, and had even acquired a sense of humor.

Comment on Interesting Places: Alang, India by Tijger Tsou

Alang is generally off-limits to anyone except those who have successfully applied for a visitor’s permit from the Gujarat Maritime Board. For foreign nationals you can bet that this involves a drawn-out application process that will invariably involve the host nation’s embassy, and other red tape.

I have not been there personally, but this sort of thing is typical of local maritime agencies, and you can bet that photography or video are prohibited. For example, to be a non US citizen, caught at Newport News shipyard in the USA snapping pictures of the newest nuclear powered aircraft carrier under construction would probably get you in some sort of hot water.

However quite a bit of media makes its way out of Alang so you can also infer that there is either bribery or covert media capture going on. Taking pictures of the shipyard in the best possible light (smiling, enthusiastic workers, no snapshots of unsafe work practices) will probably help as well- if you get caught.
