This one is actually a projection lens - Hektor 120mm f2.5. As usual, it's mounted on a focusing helicoid, this time on the Vivitar 2x Macro Teleconverter that I made into a helicoid. This lens is actually pretty sharp, as good as the Hektor 13.5cm f4.5 that I used yesterday. The only negative is the contrast being pretty low. Being a relatively fast lens without aperture, this is expected. It also shows quite a bit of purple fringing on high contrast, backlit scenes. The bokeh is not bad at all, and the lens is quite a bit easier to focus than the other Hektor.
Well, another fun lens to shoot with :)

The first one wants to jump out of my screen and hit me in the face!!! (in a really good way).

DeleteThe first image shows the same sort of effect normally seen with tilt lenses, to make DoF so minimal as to seem like macro shots of toys.
ReplyDeleteBut the Bokeh is why I love full frame :-)
