Depends how you define sharp :D Mirror bokeh is fine with me :D I like donuts!
For me real sharpness starts around the 2.8/80 Biometar (the kit lens for Pentacon Six TL). Or you can use the Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar f2.8/180 for P6 or f3.5/135 Sonnar. I highly doubt any mirror lens will be able to give that kind of sharpness. And these are old lenses as well :D I also saw pictures with the 5.6/500 Rubinar and that lens was quite sharp too. But I will be happy to see some pictures (RAW preferred) with your Tamron and K10D (or whatever camera you have). I am really curious! .timber William Robb wrote: > I have a Tamron 500/8 mirror lens which is very sharp indeed, though the > bokeh is typical mirror lens sucky, so one wants to be careful with > backgrounds. > > William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
