Hello :)

 

Recently I bought Sony A6000 and become addicted to the old manual lenses.

A lot of character and atmosphere.

I would like to share some of my photos with my "new" Contax 90mm F2.8 Sonnar T*

 

(I will update the thread)

Will add more photos.

 

If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer.

 

To be honest this is one of the most difficult lens to work with.

- No optical stabilisation

- 135mm equivalent

- the focus ring is on the adapter: it is tiny and stiff

- because all above shooting moving people is a big challenge (for me)

 

But sometimes the results compensate all cons :)

I am not able to edit the tittle of the thread. If some moderator could edit and remove the "sony A6000" bit will be nice :)

Recently I chaged to Sony A7RII and I do not want to create another thread for the same lens, it's better here and anyone can contribute as well.

 

Here is one from last night:

      Bokeh?

      By Mr. Lips · Posted

      Like Cameratose, I usually go for as much depth of field as I can, but sometimes there is no getting around out of focus areas, such as a closeup of a cactus flower.  I guess, everything else being equal, I might be concerned about a lenses bokeh, but everything else is seldom equal.  At this point in my photography I think I have bigger problems than unattractive bokeh.

      Sony A1 ii Focusing Challenge

      By MDEMM · Posted

      I elected to upgrade from Sony A1 to the A1 ii and am seeing some significant focusing challenges in the little time I've spent with it so far. Less than 10% of photos appear to be in focus when photographing small birds in subject mode birds with seemingly no improvement when subject mode is changed to birds/animals/people. Scenario: Sony A1 ii, 200-600 G lens @ 600mm, F6.3, shutter speed on male cardinal (in-focus mostly) at 1/250 ISO 125 and female cardinal (nothing in focus) at 1/1600 ISO 100; AF-C set with eye supposedly in focus in both shots. Lens has AF on, OSS on, Mode 1. I've tried switching out lenses using 100-400 with and without 1.4X converter and used handheld and used tripod. Photos are at a distance of 20-25 yards. The photos below are within a couple yards of one another. There is seemingly no improvement in AF performance despite the combinations of lens, tripod and focus zones attempted. Birds are stationary. Many of the photos will have everything in the frame seemingly out of focus and some may have the head in focus and rest of body out of focus and immediate area around bird slightly out of focus at F9-F11. I considered that I was cropping too much and had pixel peeping / expectations problem, but some photos are wildly out of focus when supposedly focusing on eye or body. Neither photo below is cropped. Ideas are welcome!

      Bokeh?

      By Cameratose · Posted

      Agreed, but it's ancient thinking. Any modern forum lets you edit whenever. It's simply a setting they could click to turn off. It's one reason I won't post many photos here. After 10 minutes I lose complete control over my own property.
