Internationale Foren zum Thema Altglas?

[hofsethpaul]

i note that there is some scepticism as to using text to describe lenses rather than results. Apart from such exact and time consuming test as those by the creator of artapohot.ch , many comparisons and pictorial examples are unreliable. Cropping and treatment of curves plus sharpening says more about software and aesthetics than about the hardware . Texts may of course also mislead.

Strong preconceptions about trademarks may colour assessments. Some will laud any Meyer product even if it is not a triplet, others will defend 52,4mm Jupiter 3´s even if out of adjustment. I once tried an industrial laser cutting lens :theoretically extremely sharp at one frequency. Its "italian flag" rendering might have charmed some special effects aficionados, but I found it useless in normal use for daily snaps such as landscapes and architecture.

conclusion: optical facts (such as given by marco cavina) plus some pictures accompanied by description of post-treatment is preferrable.
