Vintage lens investment with growing sensor sizes!

[Jacek Zakowicz]

I also own a set of Lomos (22mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm) but the 22mm vignettes a bit at 3.2k

Which 22 did you try? the big okc3-22-1 or the small okc1-22-1? I know the small one has illumination falloff and less coverage...

This is based on a video on Vimeo to be honest with you. I'm still awaiting mine in the mail.

It ALMOST covers. Slight vignetting in the corners.

The big one, though. I love the rendering of that lens, though.

The only issue i've seen is sharpness inconsistency. They could be very sharp or quite soft and uneven, crap shoot really...

Heh, I guess I will find out how my luck is soon. The 28mm and 35mm are very sharp, even wide open.

I guess, moving forward for S35 lenses, this sort of optical extender could be an option... https://www.redsharknews.com/product...ks-to-fujifilm

So what kind of price would be deemed good for a set of original housed panchro's
I am looking at the moment and find it hard to gage what real value is. Last thime I tried to buy a set it was 2.5k euro 10 years ago.

Wow, yes, quite a change and partly my dilemma... 2.5k would probably only get you one lens now. Prices are slightly crazy IMO.

Haven't yet listened, but just noticed that The Wandering DP episode #233 concerns a spot shot on Speed Panchros on the Mini LF. Seems like there might be some comments germane to this discussion...
