Latest Review Posted | Porst Color Reflex MC Auto 55mm F1.2 Really very good lens, but lots of images go to waste basket. Praise the Lord, I have got a digital camera aswell. I would die, If I were to shoot analog only.
I also lived "love and hate" relation with this lens like other users. Yes, green button works but it's not so easy, at the end I found a way to get what I want: exposure bracketing. When it comes to focus: unless you have power of a falcon's eye (if you can't separate the dot and the coma in a semicolon from 5 miles away), I wish you have a good luck! :p
In some way I don't know yet, somehow it's so dreamy soft when wide open that sometimes I could not answer where I focused at.
OTOH, flash photography is another powerfull side of this lens.
Everybody should use a f:1.2 (or below, i.e. f:1.0 or 0.8) lens like that at least once in a life time, it's so good.;)
If the only lens you've got is a kit lens, then don't waste your time here, go and buy a FA 50mm F:1.4 instead of 1.2; but if you are looking for something weird: welcome to the hell:D
After living hard days (bad love relation) for monthes, I couldn't stand it anymore and sold it.
But the very next day I began to miss her.
I was not surprised to see it changed 3 owners in a few monthes. When I could get in touch with the guy who holds it lately, I had already ordered Cosina 55mm f:1.2 which is (I heard of) sharper (than my ex-beloved Porst) wide open.
Now, I love the one with the Cosina name on it (filter thread is 58mm) m... |
