Hi all,

 

I've just corrected the Modula Optical / Zonlai confusion I had in my chart, and have marked the zonlai 25 mm F/1.8 as released, since it can be bought via ebay.

 

I was just about to add the zonlai 35 mm F/1.8, as I realized something strange: The stats say it has exactly the same size and weight as the 25 mm lens. And when looking at the product image, I noticed that the markings on the lens do not say 1:1.8/35, the number after the slash is rather a "2". Do we have proof that there actually is a 35mm lens? Or might this just be a mistake?

Suppose to be it's really 35mm, but the best way to find out is contacting with seller

Looks good to me, did not see that before. Thank You again for your help!

Have added the 35 to the list.

That's cool! Thank You for reading, I hope you'll like it here!

 

@all: I've stopped to post the "changelog", because I don't think anyone is interested in retracing those changes anyway. Small things like repairing links, correcting mistakes or cleaning up the chart in the original post will happen unanounced now, but I will keep on writing a new posting if bigger things happen, like adding a new lens.

 

/edit: The Modula Optics didn't make it, kickstarter failed. Had stated it in the original post some days ago, but I thought I should perhaps repeat it here.

:)  well, you see, even under these circumstances of Carthusian work one can let his spirit wander...

 

The first ever piece of written Dutch language, that we know of to this day, was the beginning of a love song of the times ( 1100 C.E.) , they were written by a young Flemish monk working, in England, while painstakingly copying manuscripts in order to try his pen.

 

“ Hebban olla vogala nestas hagunnan hinase hic anda thu, wat unbidan we nu?

 

“ All the birds are nesting except you and me, what are we waiting for?” which, considering the fact he was a monk (in 1100 C.E. things concerning celibacy were a little more elastic in the church ... or perhaps not) was a rather extraordinary thought!

 

:D

Interesting, :) I never knew! I was a photographer at the Dutch Royal Library at the Hague and there, just outside the library restaurant where I ate every day, on the wall there was the famous text.

 

I have seen my fair share of handwritten texts and illuminations in my time there!

Hey Antonius, Thank You!

Last thing I heard about the 120 Macro was "June". I also hope your rep is right.

 

@milandro&johant:

You two probably can't imagine how much I'm interested in that. I always thought that our barbaric european languages were only spoken until much later (apart from scandinavian rune notices carved in pieces of wood and bone), and that latin was the only written language here.

Found new interesting 35mm f0.95 lens in Fuji X mount. It's Ver II of ZhongYi Mitakon Speedmaster 35mm 0.95

Not it's smaller, lighter, and should have better optical performance. But didn't see any reviews yet.

Only few sellers on eBay, and serial numbers on theirs pictures are within first 30 samples.

 

Specs:

 

440g weight

55mm filter size

11 elements in 8 groups

35mm min focus distance

F0.95-F11 aperture, 9 blades

 

better pictures saw on eBay here

Hmmmm... so there it is, the day I have to decide how to treat discontinued lenses.

 

Thank You, yukosteel, it's always so helpful for me when people post new lenses here, I really appreciate that. Honestly, I can't keep track of all the manufacturers.

I'll add this one as soon as I have decided upon that discontinued stuff. (can't just grey them out like the pending ones)

Yeah uhm... so... It actually didn't take that long to decide what to do. I uhm... was out in the woods with 1.4 kg of glass the last days and only came home to sleep and charge batteries (and order a new, wider strap to attach to the tripod socket).

 

For now, I'll do what Patrick suggested, and cross out the discontinued lenses. When there are more of them, I'll probably move them to the bottom of the posting, below the chart.

Looking forward to see some wildlife samples :)

    • I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕  
    • Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don  
    • Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side! 
    • I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !
    • First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
