To add to the above I have to differ... certainly not all lenses perform equally well at f8. Many lenses old and new can perform well at f8 but there are a few that perform exceptionally well. That also applies to wide apertures. The ancients do very often produce beautiful Bokeh in part due to round multi bladed iris. Leica lenses generally produce fantastic skin tones and the focus roll off is hard to duplicate.

I'm interested in your Industar. There are many LTM thread lenes I would like to explore. Please post a photo that expresses what you like about it.

I don't use any of the photo apps. Not impressed with Intagram. Can anyone suggest one that does not degrade the quality significantly?

vm 21/3.5 / f8 I specifically removed the grass from the corners. Covers well/very well.

And that is with a Lumix S9? So this shot has a slight crop then ? The 21 looks like a good compact contender for use with some Lumix cameras. I still have not pulled the trigger on ordering a 28mm color skopar. Had hoped to test one first.

Yes, S9. Nothing is cut off. I'm waiting for someone to try the 28 Scopar on Lumix. )

Appreciate the sample photo. Looks good at f8. You have encouraged me with your 21mm photos... Do you have any photos taken at wide apertures? I'm sure the quality will be diminished but it would be great to see what it looks like at 3.5 on your S9.. I have found a dealer that has the 21mm in stock so I hope to check it out this week. . They don't have the 28mm f2.8 Skopar yet but look forward to testing one when available.
