does anyone have any comment on this cosina cosinon 50mm f1.8.

Well, I got the 50mm Cosina 2.0 IMO, they are soft wide open but gives out vibrant Image.

As I know, some old lens brand including Voigtlander uses Cosina glass in the past.

I love my Cosina that last week, it took me 20mins to decide should I bring along my FA50 or Cosina 50. In the end, Cosina. lol

Cosina at 2.8 If I remember.

after comparing with the f1.2 shot , the dof looks the same (to me at least) , i would't be able to tell them apart. but it would sure be great to own one nevertheless :bsmilie:

2nd hand at $80.

The guy now selling his 2nd Cosina in B&S section ;p
 

Cosina used to OEM for the BIG Boys during the film days and cameras made by Cosina were:

Canon T60
Nikon FE10
Nikon FM10
Vivitar v2000, 3000, 4000
Voightlander VSL43 SLR

and the other current Voightlanders . . .

My first SLR was a Cosina CT1 Super and that was how I began photography.

Superb lenses. Had one Cosina F1.4 which I sold to FW

Ah! so the Cosina has returned to the Master (insert hissing voice)
 

I like my M 50mm f1.7, I read somewhere that this lens is sharper than M 50mm f1.4.

Here are few shots taken by this lens. I don't remember the aperture.

newbie question, how do I know the aperture of the photo taken by manual lens (Pentax K or M)? On my picasa it's written n/a.

Yes you can't know the aperture using software, you had to write down the aperture when you taking it(at least this is what i do, don't really know if there are any special software that can detect the aperture of a manual lens). Just one question from me, did you use any spilt focusing screen for your camera? If not, do you find it diffcult to use the Pentax-M f1.7?

Anyway nice picture you had there very sharp.

Mm too bad, maybe I need to get Pentax-A version :bsmilie:

I didn't use any split screen, need to save first to buy one, K3 is it? :devil:
Yar it's difficult, especially for the model, she need to keep her smile longer. :bsmilie:
