Hi Hagen...thanks for commenting! The preset feature isn't a benefit for modern digital cameras. For your film SLR cameras, it just saves you the time and effort of having to set your aperture after focusing which will obviously negate the effort made to focus in the first place. I've never experienced breathing in any of the CZ lenses that I have...like many vintage lenses, samples may vary!
I think I have the Soviet copy of this lens. Not sure how it compares to the German version. However, Eagle eye is a very appropriate name for it. I was once taking general pictures around and when I got home I noticed a tiny spider in the flower when I was pixel peeping that I didn't notice with by eye.
@@sebastiang7183 ...Hahaha! Same here! My wife looks at my lens shelf every once in a while a swears it is growing in number! I think I've been pretty good this year not buying more! I just tell her it's an optical illusion because I'm always rearranging them to dig out ones buried in the back!
That depends on the composition...if the subjects are lined up on the same plane then wide open is doable...it's really when there is depth to the "group" that stopping down becomes necessary.
Interesting video. Have to try out my tessar again.
How does it work with preset lenses and focus breathing?

Hi Sebastian...The Tess is a nice lens for sure...my love of vintage lenses keeps rewarding me with surprising performance as do yours I'm sure!
@@DrScottMcDonald007 That it does but it also rewards me with lenses piling up and my wife wondering why I need so many lenses.

When you shoot a portrait of 2 persons, do you use f2.8 or stop more down?

Old tessar very better for b&w
100% agree with you!

Well, 5 blades will give you 10pointed sunsatrs,
Too true! There are bright sides to every story!
Hi i have 2 exakta mount tessar i think 1950 very better than 1970
Again...completely agree with you. I too prefer the older versions!
Are older tessars radioactive?
