AUTUMN THREE SIDED BOKEH BATTLE : NIKKOR AUTO-Q 135MM F2.8 vs SAMYANG 135MM F2.0 vs NIKKOR 135MM F3.5

 I shot these two clips on the same day, Nikkor 135mm f2.8 at f2.8 in the morning light and a new Samyang 135mm f2.0 at f2.8 then f2.0 in the afternoon on Sony A7R2 at 1080p resolution, might 4K at the next sunny bluesky day. Both clips were shot out of the front door.


Nippon Kogahu Nikkor Auto-Q 135mm f2.8 shot wide open at f2.8. Bought 20 years ago ar EUR30 from a bargain bin. A clip for Nikkor Auto-Q 135mm f3.5 is linked.


A brand new Samyang 135mm f2.0, a firm favorite amongst astrophotographers for a few years now, shot wide open at f2.8 then f2.0. Acquired a few weeks ago new at a quite fair bit more than EUR30.


For good measure I added this clip from Nikkor 135mm f3.5 shot at f3.5 on Sony A7R2. Lens acquired from ebay shipped from Japan. The clip was shot on a different day, on one of those diffused full cloud cover day ... giant diffuser in sky producing beautiful soft light.


I have also shot a few stills which I haven't look at yet, hopefully I'll have some time to do this weekend, will post it up here soonish!
