Comparison of colors and contrast with four older M42 lenses - quite some differences here. Guess which one is the winner considering I am posting this here :cool: Youtu.be |

Cameras: Fuji-X-M1 and Olympus E-PL5, all images: Colors & contrast with old M42 lenses for 30 90$ (Helios, Zeiss, Asahi) - 4K samples III | Flickr
In short: the Asahi SMC Takumar 50/1.4 and Zeiss CZJ 50/2.8 give best saturation and contrasts while the Yashica and Helios are somewhat muted and calmer.

I wonder if it will ever become a trend to collect old point and shooters - or will they remain the obsolete toys of yesteryear?

I just found my old Pentax Optio S from back in the day - and it still works.... :)
Took it through four countries until I switched to a more serious camera - reminds me of many people now switch back to simple smartphone cameras
I did upload some image and video samples for fun, the macro images are surprisingly good, but normal and tele range is weaker than any modern smartphone now (even with digital cropping). You Tube |
