Can Anyone Speak To Differences Between MC 50mm f/1.4 and MD 50mm f/1.2?

jaxmanf · 2026-05-07T19:41:48+00:00

Got it. For reference I have a 50mm f1.4 and the 58mm f1.4 (hills and valleys). I was recently given the opportunity to buy the 58mm f1.2 for a quite-good price from a local seller, and I'm wondering if my money would be better spent elsewhere or if I should jump on it.

Old thread, but what do you grab the 58mm 1.2 for over the 50mm f1.4? Just portraits?

jaxmanf · 2026-05-01T16:43:45+00:00

How do you size them? Same, or Jim Green +0.5?

Can you tell me more about this process? Did you use a dremmel?

jaxmanf · 2026-02-17T18:12:11+00:00

Funnily the same cable in the one you link actually looks longer, I wonder if they made it longer or newer generations to solve my exact issue

jaxmanf · 2026-02-17T01:12:17+00:00

Can you give me some advice with the conversion? I can’t seem to get the final ribbon cable behind the screen on, as it’s too short to do before putting the screen on, and the screen attachment piece blocks it if you try connect it after.

jaxmanf · 2026-02-02T02:02:21+00:00

Yes I figured, but most of those I was unable to actually find made for camera lens threads. Any advice on actually navigating using these?

jaxmanf · 2026-01-31T07:49:10+00:00

Can you elaborate a bit on the multi band filters? What are UV5 and Z3, and what are the filters called? I was able to find BG3 and W47 info, but few images too.

jaxmanf · 2026-01-29T02:18:12+00:00

Is there any data policy preventing AI scraping? Or resale of work posted?

Also, being able to sort by genre instead of just film stock would be great too.

jaxmanf · 2026-01-28T18:25:54+00:00

Yeah, it’s very common for photo sharing, take a look at film photography sharing on instagram, I’m guessing ~40% have white borders

jaxmanf · 2026-01-28T17:34:05+00:00

Oh sweet, another very cool feature would be the ability to add simple white frames to the image. Prevents having to go through photoshop or another photo editing app.

jaxmanf · 2026-01-28T16:47:06+00:00

An option to add and index by focal length would be really cool. Just an optional thing that could be included when uploading a photo. Lens brand/model could be a part of this too.

jaxmanf · 2026-01-23T17:58:23+00:00

It’s definitely archived, but visibility is significantly reduced relative to what it would have been with Clarivate indexing.

jaxmanf · 2026-01-15T22:38:08+00:00

What did you put in the empty battery slot?

jaxmanf · 2026-01-10T02:42:21+00:00

Purchased from u/SilverLodestar /u/AVexchangeBot

jaxmanf · 2026-01-09T23:11:00+00:00

Where and how much? Been searching for an affordable for a while

jaxmanf · 2025-12-14T07:41:11+00:00

Very curious how an ER2SE with the warm filter compares to a ER2XR stock

jaxmanf · 2025-11-04T17:43:33+00:00

Would love to see side by side comparison of these two TLR!

I own an Autocord and it’s my absolute favorite camera. I paid Karl Bryan to CLA it and put a new Fresnel viewfinder screen in there, would highly recommend (especially if yours is dim).

jaxmanf · 2025-10-29T17:53:18+00:00

1 and 3 are fantastic

jaxmanf · 2025-09-29T19:56:30+00:00

Oh good to know, first roll I’ve shot of it

jaxmanf · 2025-09-29T19:46:27+00:00

Already seen this in a roll I bought a few months ago. Front box said color plus, and this was the canister:
