Generally speaking, a wide-angle lens is used for producing panoramic landscapes and shooting in cramped interiors. The super wide-angle amplifies the effect by intensifying perspective and providing greater depth of field.The 28mm lens, not long ago looked upon as the typical "super" wide-angle, is now considered almost a "normal" wide-angle lens. |

It has always been one of my dreams to get this lens. There aren't many available on the market . It looks like a medium format lens, but made with an M42 mount. Its a bit heavy and quite inconvenient to use as you need to hold the lens not the camera body as usual. It is a very sharp lens, even at wide open and pretty fast too. It has outstanding image quality, rendering nice colours, if you ever see pictures taken with this lens you will be falling in love with the oldies. This lens started me off using vintage lenses on DSLR's. If you ever have a chance to grab it, do it! Even if it looks ugly, all pieces are excellent I have never heard from a bad opinion from anyone about this lens.

The fisheye lens produces some extremely unusual photographs. Deriving its name from an angle of view closely associated with that of a fish's eye, this type of lens was originally manufactured because its 180° angle could record celestial observations of an entire hemisphere. The exaggerated fisheye world can be seen in the finder of the SLR camera and this lens is now commonly used for creative photography.

A lens is good enough to take pictures. In reality, however, cameras capable of replacing lenses and lenses of different focal lengths are supplied in quantity. So why interchangeable lenses? The answer is that every lens has its own angle of view which corresponds to its focal length. This allows the photographer to interpret and/or record each subject individually.

Introduced in 1977, along with the AI 1.4, the 50mm f2 ai was only available for a short time but marked the start of the AI era and due to it's relative low cost sold in large numbers. Optically it was essentially unchanged from the pre-AI version.
It's a classic Nikkor of the period, very solidly built with a precise well marked focus ring that exhibits the lovely smooth viscosity of the best Nikkors. Aperture stops are firm with no looseness. |

I was really shocked when this lens arrived I never seen such a small wide angle lens especially super-wide angle one! 31mm long lens with 21mm focal length and takes 49mm filter ? Unbelievable! I expected very good image quality before I started the test and I wouldn't disappointed !! Amazing color rendering, sharp at wide open as well. Professionally built, superb quality lens.This angle view suitable for architectural and interior photography, short focus distance and lens sharpness provide a pretty good macro capability also.I don't think so, many better lens available on the market at this price level and perhaps if pay much more for a lens it will not help you can't get better quality.I am really, really proud owner of this lens. |

Changing the angle of view: Using lenses of different focal lengths changes the area covered in the photograph, The longer the focal length of the lens, the smaller the angle of view; the shorter the focal length, the larger the angle of view. |

I was lucky when I got this lens, I wasn't know that this lens made by one of the best Japanese third-party vendor Tomioka. This lens excellent in every point of views optically and mechanically and you can get for very low price ,because the label shows cheap budget lens. Believe me this lens good as any OEM vendor product such as Canon or Nikon.It has M42 mount so you can use virtually on any interchangeable mount cameras. |

OM 50mm f1.4. A beautifully made lens with a
fine precision movement feel to the focusing ring that has just enough
resistance that makes it a joy to focus. None of your Russian tank
grease here, these Olympus lenses have a lovely white, low viscosity
grease on the helix. On the Olympus lens I opened it was as fresh as
the day it left the factory, usually you can expect to be scraping crud
out of the threads on most lenses. The F stop ring is at the front
which takes some getting used to, on a lens this small usually it is a
rear aperture ring.
Wide open centre performance is above average, of the 5 50mm 1.4
lenses I have I would rate this as 3rd best after the Zeiss Planar and
the Yashica ML for sharpness, but slightly better than the Super
Takumar (non smc). Stopped down this has good sharpness but not
outstanding like the zeiss. A nice lens for general use especially if
you are expecting to have some evening shots without a tripod, you may
just sneak some shots on a high ISO. I have also used this for shooting
bands playing in a club with minimal lighting. It is a good solid
general purpose lens.
