Focusing with the old lens at moving subjects was not easy, and I had out of focus images. Most shots were taken with the lens wide open.

I have so many OOF images that I don't even think of it any more any more any more really. Though, hoenstly, I do think that the narrower the FOV at the extreame end, well, I'll try it for giggles...

I had done a couple of available darkness shots with my 1.4 lenses recently. Thought I'd see how they came out with the Nikkor 50/2. The old car under the streetlight? Not bad. The little free library? Someday I'll figure out how to not get that little string of christmas lights to not blow out the highlights

One of my favorite Sonnars… maybe THE favorite… is the Zeiss Opton Sonnar 5cm f2.0. I love how much detail the lens resolves and the roundness, 3D quality of the images. Here are some examples in black and white:

Yes, the "roundness" or 3D resolution. The Jupiter 8's I have are great at that. The CZJ 272 f/1.5 5cm and the Bertele have yet to be tested. Soon. Love the definition in these photos.One of my favorite Sonnars… maybe THE favorite… is the Zeiss Opton Sonnar 5cm f2.0.

Great thread! I posted this photo on one of the Contax threads and thought it deserves a post here too, showing the character of the CZ Sonnar 1.5 at f4.
I'm pleased to now own the Opton version of this lens too thanks to rff member milescl.

Eye checking machine at the hospital. I was bored while sitting in the hallway. I like the color, I like the shading, I like the 3D. Bertele Sonnar f/2.0, ISO 160 IIRC, M9.
