Sony A7S + Canon Serenar 50/1.9

The Metabones Leica M to Sony E adapter has also managed to allow me to use the Canon Serenar 50/1.9 lens in M mount. This lens was manufactured by Canon as a contender to the likes of Summar and Summarit 50/1.9.

The specimen I have looks pretty good externally, functions as it should without any blemish or fungus. One blemish is perhaps the chipped off paint that is supposed to act at a baffle to stray lights entering the lens. It will be interesting to see what effect this has on pictures shot directly into the light.

Test shots made indooor look great ... images sharp performing on par with the other lenses from it's class and age.

Minimum focusing distance 3,5 feet, @f1.9

Looking forward to taking this combo out for a shoot sometime and suss out what exactly this vintage lens can create. The Serenar is chrome, compact, sleek and should fit very well with the Sony A7S.
