Thought it would be fun to put up pictures taken with Fast lenses. I have a couple of those, Nikon F-Mount and Leica Mount.
50mm F1.1 Nokton, Wide-Open: (ignore the camera's "estimated" F-Stop, there is no linkage between the lens and the camera for aperture.)

This is an example of the inherent 3-D effect of the superfast lenses. Their entrance pupil is so large that the subject might be viewed under different perspectives.

Great idea for a themed topic :)
Here's two images with the two f/1.2 lenses I own.

I thought you had a fast Heligon, Jakov ?
Df + 55mm AI @ f/1.2.
-
Jakov has the 100 mm f/1.6 which of course is "slow" ...
The classic superspeed lens, Rodenstock Heligon 50 mm f/0.75.
By the way, don't try to follow my example unless you are well aware of what you are doing, as this can be dangerous to your eyesight. No kidding.
-
The last one is phenomenal, Bjørn!
I have quite a few heligon shots here: http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,1448.0.html
No need to double post them I guess.
The fact remains I don't posses a f/1.2 lens or faster :)
My question would be: is a 100/1.6 faster than a 50/1.2?
-
Not seen as a lens "speed". f/1.2 is faster. However, the entrance pupil of the 100/1.6 is much larger: 62.5 mm compared to 41.7 mm of the 50 mm lens.

Beautiful examples, Bjørn.

This site renders the color different from what I see on my own site, but this photo was actually taken in my lawn (not removed/staged), and taken in the natural light in which it was found.
The light was admittedly harsh, but the green in the background is my lawn (in sunlight) with the darker green behind being the looming forest. Shot at f2/8.

The industrial lens 55 mm f/1.2 CRT Nikkor-O, designed for recording faint oscilloscope traces on CRT scopes and hence deliberately made with an inversely curved field.
-
Another example of what the 55 mm f/1.2 CRT Nikkor-O can deliver. Given it was made for narrowband phosphors of the CRT display its ability to cope with broad-spectrum daylight is actually quite a surprise.
The lens was designed for a narrow range of magnification, around 1:4 to 1:5, and needs a short-register camera system if one wants to push it further towards infinity. However, due to its specially designed field curvature, it will show a massive fall-off of sharpness towards the periphery of the frame for any subject outside the near range.
This capture of a Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) was acquired with a Nikon D3X at 1:3.5 magnification and f/1.2. The perfect circles of confusion is a hallmark of this industrial lens.

In combination with a 0.7X focal reducer. Metabones makes such reducers for several formats. I use the 50/1.2 AIS Nikkor on my Panasonics and get 35 mm f/0.9 as a result.

Oude Delft 65 mm f/075.
On what camera are these photographs with the Oude Delft 65mm taken? Didn't you once write an article showing how to modify this lens (or some other of the ultra-fast exotics that you have) for F-mount or Nikon 1 mount or m4/3? I can't seem to find it now.

Thanks, I was looking for 'De Oude Delft' which isn't mentioned in that thread, but instead a Rodenstock 50/0.75.
I have access to a cheap Oude Delft 65/0.75, don't know what I will do with it, but it was too cheap to pass up.
I will have to find a mechanic of some sort to make it usable on some camera, so any thread with information on these sorts of modifications are helpful.
-
The lens (65/0.75) is useable on any camera, but its bulk and weight make it quite impractical, if I might say so. The register distance is extremely short and if exceeded will generate a highly curved field.
I have seen a very interesting application though for that lens. A guy make it into a superspeed astrocamera. Using film, as even the better mirrorless cameras available today will put the lens at too far distance from the sensor plane. Haven't the reference at hand now, but an internet search should bring it up.
I believe the old Nikongear had an article on making an F mount for the 65 Oude Delft. It is not that difficult but requires you play with adapters and step rings. I hold my solution in hand as I write this. It even has a CPU ...
-
Yes, I was expecting it to be quite bulky.
Does it cover the FX format or are you using the F mount as an intermediate stage with further adapters?
EDIT: I now found the thread on fotozones, it's a long thread response to a question by Bez on how to adapt a Rayxar lens and also contains images. We might consider reposting it here as I think it is very valuable, unless this breaches any contracts.
-
No, should be reposted. Problem might only be if it is hidden behind some kind of paywall. Put the link here and I'll investigate. As BEZ is a member here on NG and I wrote the stuff there should be no infringement involved.
All those 'X-ray' and image intensifier/relay tandem lenses do cover the usual formats up to FX as they increase the projected image circle when the lens is pushed outside its designed conjugate parameters.
-
I can send it to you via PM later so you can post it in a thread under your name.
-
Thanks. Will do.
Now, back to that dreadful bimonthly VAT returns. I think I'll do the final accounting while watching "Der Untergang" on streamed TV. A suitable combination of terms so to speak.

Please do, BEZ. Start a new thread. Probably best in the Nerd board? As it deals with modifications and suchlike stuff.
I just fitted my Rayxar to the Sony A7 and will attempt to get something out of this combination in the near future.

I will start a new thread later ....I mostly use mine now with my fuji's and the lens is much closer to the sensor than with my D800. But I lose some of the dreamlike qualities the lens has on the Nikon.

Hi Bez,
Thanks for joining the discussion.
I already sent the fragments that Bjørn wrote to him, I think with your help we can reconstruct the discussion.
Thanks for the offer to bring the lens. If it's no burden for you to bring it, it would of course be interesting to play around with it.
Meanwhile, my lens (Oude Delft 65/0.75) arrived. At 50$, it was a real bargain I couldn't pass up, even though I had by no means been looking specifically to buy such a lens. Most likely, I won't have a mounting solution ready until the Scotland meeting.
A quick grab shot, I included the Nikon 50/1.2 AI-s, the next fastest lens I have, for size comparison:
-
That's a bargain ;) You got a lot for your money at least ;)

Yes, the amount of glass per $ is quite amazing, usually with fast glass you only get a fraction of a gram per $.
-

I have given up local search and do search with google site search.
As is takes load off the site I recommend to replace local search with google site search. Also good for google ranking.

50 US$? incredible. The cheapest version on Ebay Germany is 666 € currently, the dearest is 1500...

Proof of concept. The Rayxar 65 mm f/0.75 mounted on a Sony NEX-3. My alternate experimental Sony body, compliments from Jan Anne by the way.
Just a snapshot of the earlier photo posted by Simone, using the Rayxar/NEX-3 setup, handheld.. The lens casing is probably near pristine when it is removed from the device holder.

I think so Francis ;)
I have now both Ai-versions: so the last 55mm and one of the first 50mm. They basically share the same 'issue's' regarding being a fast lens.
In comparison: The bokeh-rendering of the 55 is a bit softer than the 50 in close up. At a distant the 55 is a bit blurrier than the 50 wide open. That gives more issues (and opportunities) indeed ;) The focal length of the 55mm is a plus in my view.
-
Beautiful image, John.
I hereby declare that I will refrain from buying any more lenses in the near future ::)
-
Thanks Jakov.
Well, perhaps an option is to sell one, and buy something else back ;)
-

Jan Anne, what if I bring along my Canon AE-1 Program 35mm SLR :)
Would it work then? Although, I would not know where to buy film ;D
-
... Will also bring a Canon FD 85/1.2 SSC Aspherical but that isn't gonna do you any good ;D
Don't say that. We travel with the famous Dr. Lens. I can take a few spare bayonet mounts with me. Give Erik a few minutes to work his magic and the Canon will fit Jakov's camera. Well, not to infinity focus probably, but I foresee no problems otherwise ... :D
-
On the flip side, Jan Anne can use the Enigma 125 mm f/1.2 on his Sony ...
This snapshot is mostly a proof of concept.

I've found three fast lenses made by Kowa on the commissioned sale in Tokyo. They appear to be X-Ray lenses: 55mm/f1.1 (24,000 JPY), 65mm/f0.75 (80,000 JPY) and 95 or 90mm/f0.95 (80,000 JPY). They all look like Rodenstock Heligons. None of them are listed in Klaus' Macro Lens Database.

I have many unlisted lenses as I stopped around 300. Now I'm at 600++ but don't have teh time to update...
I know those and have a few of them, they are often nearly identical lenses built by many manufacturers (Rodenstock, Varo, De Oude Delft, Canon and Leitz at least) based on demands of system integrators for such X-Ray machines (such as PICKER Corp.)
Canon 0.75/65mm vs 0.75/Leitz 65mm both made for Picker Corp.:

Received the 85/1.2 today and only had time to take a few test shots after the sun decided to warm another part of the globe. Missed the focus on the ever moving eyes but the goal was to get acquainted with the boke qualities of the lens and first impressions are positive.
Boke balls do become lemon shape in the corners like with the 50/1.2 but that I already knew so no surprises here, nailing focus at f/1.2 will be challenge however ;D

Superb Tervueren !
I had two. One of them looked like yours! ;)
Below, just got this fast lens in France. No information about it on line. I just know the maker is an American company (FJW Industries INC).
50mm f/0.75.
I don't know yet how to convert it in F mount... :) Will be trickier than the heligon, I guess.
-
Shouldn't be that difficult? There is plenty of massive metal to drill into :D
First step is getting a foundation with solid threads. A Cokin adapter plate with 52 mm threads is a perfect starting point. Fasten it with three holes through which solid flat-head screws are run. From there on, just add K-rings as spacers and end with K-2 to make an F-mount.

You cannot, well at least not very useful on a Nikon. A mirrorless camera would be the way to go, as they have a much shorter distance mount to sensor. This lens looks exactly like my De Oude Delft and Zeiss jena 0.75/50mm I had, both with very short back focal length of just a few millimeter. I had my mechanic make a thin adapter plate with a large female thread fitting the lens and a M42 male thread on his lathe, which could be screwed onto the outer large diameter thread of that lens. Then added a very thin M42 helicoid to it with rear camera mount fitting my LUMIX camera. Not difficult actually. And worked well for close up shots.
The lens:

Bjørn, Dr Klaus, thanks for these useful informations !
I will bring it to Killin anyway, along with my Proxxon tools (minidrill, stand + vice and lighted magnifier), so, to help all butchery sessions... ;D

Thank you Jørgen. I did own a few 50mm f1,4 lenses but the 55mm f1,2 Nikkor-S.C really was an eye opener as to what makes super fast lenses so fascinating for creative use.
Oh, and I should not take all the credit for this photo. Editing was done by the model/my girlfriend. Kristina
The only other lenses that produce bokeh of a quality comparable as to what this lens has to offer are the 105mm f2,5 Nikkor-P in the older Sonnar optical design and the 5cm f2 Nikkor-S. They do not qualify for this thread but I had some excellent results with those lenses as well.
I use most of my lenses wide open most of the time. Main reason for that is that most all of the Nikkors have straight aperture blades and a limited quantity of them too. This really makes stopping down lenses into somewhat of a compromise. Fortunately all the Nikkor lenses I tried perform marvelously wide open as well.

Blue bell flower token with that combo : http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,2990.msg51153.html#new
Nikkor O 55mm f1.2 + Sony nex 5 + 36mm close-up ring.
-
Francis, nice photo.
Apologies, I saw you use another Nikkor-O lens. Interesting adapting method to the Sony NEX.
-
Thanks, Buddy !
These Nikkor lenses are completely different :
# different shape;
# different optics;
#different mount;
# dedicated for different use.
No focussing ring on the Nikkor O (CRT). ;)
The only things they share are the max. aperture and focal lenght.
-
Did you investigate the option to include a focus helicoid in the Nikon F to Sony NEX converter? Having some means to focus other then moving the camera or adding tubes would make th elens far more flexible.

I did think about it. I have, indeed, to buy an helicoid. More easy than using any device such as stacked close up rings or below.
A focusing rail helps.

very painterly :o :o :o
we have tried so hard to achieve this in rendering softwares yet the 50 1.2 does it effortlessly
