My wife has an F 50mm macro. It's the sharpest lens
in the house. I bought it for myself, but gave it to
her because I don't have an AF body. Dumb, dumb, dumb

Then there is your problem.
You have a FF (flat-field) lens that is intended for glass mounted slides. A CF
(curved-field) lens is for regular slide mounts where the film tends to curl a
bit. Easiest way to check this out is to buy a small box of glass slide mounts
and remount some of your slid

ll of the above says there could be any number of
reasons his projected slides
were not super sharp, even if the macro was.

Sometimes that is due to the curvature of the slide itself. I have run
into this with some slides that were quite curved.

And, Ramesh, I forgot to suggest trying to see if this is a factor
with your slide projection disappointments. Try "rocking" the focus

The A 50/2.8 Macro is a very different lens than the apparently
optically identical F and FA 50/2.8 Macros. The A is a lovely lens
to use (if you li

Sometimes the lens defects in the slide projector's lens can make a
good slide (taken with a good camera lens) look bad. So, d
I have this macro lens. I use this for landscape
photography too. Recently I started observing the
sharpness in edges during projection. I found that
sharpness reduction in the edges is apparently, on
some cases it is too obvious. I was not comparing the
test charts and they were mostly landscape s
Considering the fact that I paid $300.00 US for mine I think $188 is a good
deal for a great lens.

That's one of the most important things for me - it's good to know that I'll
have an opportunity to handle this lens before buing, though :-) I knew
about the dampening swich, but I've r

Just my two cents worth.

Hi there,
I have an opportunity to buy this lens in ex + condition for the equivalent
of $188. Is this a good price?
And another question - I love 50/55mm lenses. Really liked my M 50/1.7, was
very fond of the FA 50/1.4, and now I'm a proud (and happy) owner of one K
55/1.8 and one K 50/1.4. But.

Macro work of course, and sometimes also as a normal lens. If I can take

Hi,
SMC-FA 50/2.8 Macro
What is your opinion of this lens? Is it any good? What do you use it
for? What do you like about it? How well built is it? How is the lens
handling (weight, size, etc.)?
How about optical qualities: resolution, contrast, color, distortion,
bokeh, light fall-off
