I hope I get my Nikon Scanner lens 45/2,8 mounted and can compare it against the Laowa 100mm macro.

Some of us will be curious about this comparison Laowa vs. Nikon 7-elements 45 mm -
Perhaps you can show your findings here when you have this, then ...

All the best,

Christian

Robert, thankyou for another great testing and overview --- excellent, as we appreciate & love it. And thankyou for the time you have spent on this, again. Nice to see the performance of the tiny Nikkor 45mm f/2.8 7-elements scanner lens again – in comparison to the "giants" (SK MacroVaron) -- and t...

Dear Robert, thankyou for another test of a rare lens and your appreciated work, again! I am still curious, how powerful other lenses out of (former) high end scanners will work, in direct comparison to this - like the lens out of the Screen Cezanne scanner ;-) ALL THE BEST for a better 2021 - for y...

Hi Typestar, Thank you again for the loaner lens and the idea to test it in the first place. :D Interesting...I bought an LS-20 and it had the same lens in it as the LS-30. Ray, interesting -- in my LS-20 I found the tiny 25 mm lens – only in a Nikon Coolscan III / LS-30 I found the LS-30 --- I agr...

Special thanks to Typestar for the encouragement to run the test and for the loaner lens! :D Robert, ThankYOU for taking my suggestion and lens into your appreciated testings! Its great to be part of this community ..................................... As for the European price- situation or scanne...

Hi Robert,

@Rik I do not know the distribution, but as admin I am painfully aware that a wide variety of opinions are strongly held by various members. Forum policy is that we avoid politics at photomacrography.net . There are other places for that. --Rik Of course I understand - and just have deleted the stat...

Just for an orientation for all members here: In Austria - as part of EU -- I have to pay for ALL things ordered from outside European Union (also from the USA) high fees and taxes, all the time. We pay 20% taxes in addition what is written on the invoice - no matter if brand new or super old or use...

Dear Robert, I am a little late, but: Happy Birthday! THANKYOU very much for this great detailed testing, again! The sharpness out of the Componon + Scitex lens stack shouldn’t have been a surprise, after all the 2.8/35 Componon and S-3 110 are two of my best stacking lenses, seeing the performance ...

Dear Robert, First: Happy New year and all the best! (& to all the members here) Thankyou Robert for all the new 1x testings! Its interesting to see how well the Nikon Scanner lens behaves! (and disappointing to see the poor results of some of the "famous" lenses) Great to have all this references a...

@kaleun96 Hi Kaleun96; as I worked - years ago now - with some Polaroid ProPalette 7000 and 8000 filmrecorders, with nice colour results (printed on Fuji 50 Velvia and other prof. films -- the lens you list (43.53 mm) would be of interest, but I fear not to be exeptional on our modern digital use......

Dear Robert, Sorry for my late reply; great to read this additional Scanner lens intensively Thankyou very much for testing my lens and publish the results. As I know, which hard work it was to dissasemble the lens out of this beast of cage - I have to congratulate you for the efforts, that it final...

Hi nielsgoede,

there is no Nikon Lens with this label
Do you perhaps mix it up with the Minolta 5400 (lens)?

The Nikon Scanners (and lenses) are:
Nikon LS-40/ED 4000 and LS-50/ ED 5000

Dear Miljenko, I want to THANKYOU here for all your hard work in these weeks ago. This was a massive time-consuming shooting, comparing and discussing - for instance which tube-lenses to choose for this or that lens or better even without. So, we have "neutral" MTF numbers now in our database, in ad...

...The older Olympus bellows lenses in my experience, have serious LaCA issues, but this could be a good one maybe? The prices aren't bad with that one at least. Robert, at least Ray listed this (4 years ago) Olympus OM Zuiko 80 mm Bellows lens better in the results as the M-Componon, in the fifth ...
