| Latest Review Posted | Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestegor / Pentacon 200mm F4
I have the Meyer-Optik zebra version of his lens.
It is a delightful lens to use. Solidly built with a pleasing weight. 15 blades makes for smooth bokeh. The lens is sharp at all apertures. f22 will show up all the dust on the camera sensor. I find that, like many of the manual lenses that I have, it fools the exposure meter into overexposure, so I have to dial in -2EV to get it right.
It portrays colours well. There is some fringing wide open in bright light, but this is easy to remove in post processing.
The long throw makes focussing precise, although it can take a long time to get from way out to way in. If you get a chance at this lens for a reasonable price I would recommend giving it a go.
