Rikenon P Macro 35-70mm F3.5-4.5
Latest Review Posted Ricoh Rikenon P 50mm F1.4
I love this lens.


I only purchased it about a year ago because my Rikenon XR 50 1.4 has a stuck aperture, but this lens is much superior to it. It is already sharp at f/1.4 - not extremely sharp, but sharp enough all the way to the borders in my K-S1. At f2, it's sharp all over. It peaks at f4-f5.6 on the K-S1. The center is always tack sharp and the borders are just sharp - but I think that's common with the 50 1.4 designs that are designed to make the subjects "pop".

It does have a hint of aberrations at f/1.4 but not too bad. Close one click and it's basically gone except for the extreme corners.


The only thing I miss from the XR version is that it focused a bit closer, but this focuses exactly at the same distance as my M 50 1.7, so it's not that bad.


Bokeh is excellent, and even wide open it has a bit of that 3D effect. Colors are rich and accurate.
