More images from Rokkor 85/1.7 attached to Sony A7S

I shot the 85mm through a double-glazed glass window (what a genius!) from the living room with the Sony A7S+Rokkor 85 combo attached to a tripod. The images are full frame, cropped 100% on a sharply focussed area and cropped 100% on an out of focus area.

The series were shot ar f1.7 progressing through f2.8, f4.0, f5.6 and f8.0 (I remembered to stop down this time) successively maintaining exposures as best I can by dialling in the appropriate shutter speeds as needed. Small exposure tweaks were added in CaptureOne to balance out the overall exposure.

Focussing is maintained throughout the images to assess sharply focussed areas, out of focus areas as well as the general look of these sections at different aperture settings.

The framing of the cropped images were kept similar as best as I can at 100% crop.





@f1.7




@f2.8




@f4.0



@f5.6




@f8.0

 You'll notice a whitish splodge on the top left of teh crop images, this could be reflection on the double-glazed glass window (possibly originating from a white light from my work desk at the back).

Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 85/1.7

I attached the lens to Sony A7R2 via a Neewer MD to Sony E adapter and shot off a few exposures out from the front door. Shots made at the same Iso: shutter speed varies slightly depending on the aperture choosen. Raw files converted on CaptureOne 20 and then further tweaked and resized on PS.


@f2.5


@f2.5 (actually @f1.7 wasnt stopped down*)


@f1.7



Minolta MC ROKKOR-PF 85/1.7


@f1.7 correctly stepped down


@f4.5 correctly stepped down




 *And I just learnt today that this Rokkor-PF 87/1.7 needs to be stopped down manually to get the effect you wanted with your chosen aperture ... I was wondering why the background of the shot @f2.5 and the shot @f1.7 looks weirdly similar. If not stopped down the shot will be taken at @1.7 (widest aperture)!
