Lovely 3 dimensionality Corran! Anyone else have any examples they'd care to show off?
Examples of the 2.7 tessar or fast lenses in general?
TRy out one of the 50mm/f1.9 Ocillo Paragons (Ilex or Alphax shutter). They were optomised for ~ 1:1 imaging of a 4' oscilloscope screen and will not cover 4x5 at infinity, but will cover for macro work. DOF is about the thickness of a Nat's whiskerwhen wide open.
They are often on the Bay and usually pretty cheap.
I'm actually surprised how good most of these look, considering they are pretty old designs being shot wide open. The depth of field is narrow but what's in it is decently sharp, considering.
