Yes, Robbie! Got one recently from a forum member, and nice one! I don't mind having second copy or K50/1.2

I thought you were only comparing MF lenses... You might need get one of these

Please keep us updated with your comparison, and definitely will follow you and Robin...

Kind regards!

P.S. Steinheil Munchen Quinon could easily go above £250, but i got a bargain...

Used prices also suggest this, good A's command €450, K's around €375, Cosina, I'd put at €250-75 now because it only allows you to stop down in Full Stops which I was frankly gobsmacked at. Can't begin to understand the thinking behind this at Cosina.
Eventually, it comes down to which you are most comfortable with, right?

Serious condensers for "best MF standard lens" (40-60mm) from my collections are:

Voigtlander 58/1.4 -- nothing more to say about this one, legendary.
Zeiss ZK 50/1.4 -- some people say "creamy" but I like it...
Steinheil Munchen Quinon 55/1.9 (M42) -- rare beauty! not fastest, not sharpest, but the most german, like it!
Pentax A 50/1.2 -- nothing more to say, but 4th place...

These are the only two lenses, which I would have been interested in
We may have to do another test of Zeiss versus Leica. First we have to finish this one though!

In the meantime, I have five articles on my blog. This search should find them.

The lens takes beautiful photos!
Please don't get us wrong! I am definitely interested to see how it goes. Again, for fun, right, for fun...

They are trying to find out the best standard lens.

It is not about flowers but the time to shoot flowers. I can see you guys, use low iso and low shutter speed, did you use cable release or?

First is much better IMO.

Please unveil the answer which is taken with K lens? Do you mind giving aperture used in these two images respectively as well?

Cheers!
