testing my 50mm f1.4 Carl Zeiss Planar T* on my Yashica FR1 I took a few 'candids' as I was sitting in Brentwood HIgh Street with camera at waist level and set focus on a mark on the ground. Really I needed some 'Fill-in Flash' as the buildings cut off light from faces but of course I risked getting Punched if the subjects saw a flash !
testing my 50mm f1.4 Carl Zeiss Planar T* for 'Back Focus' I put it on my Yashica FR1 and it was sharp this time so my Contax RTSII Quartz must have problems.
This time I used my 50mm f1.4 Carl Zeiss Planar T* on my YASHICA FR1 and went to the same shop and focussed on the wire baskets as before but this time the focus was accurate and things inside the shop were not sharp so it seems there is something wrong with my CONTAX RTS II Quartz -- may be the focus screen or mirror not right.
Tests on my 50mm f1.4 Carl Zeiss PLANAR T* on my CONTAX RTS II Quartz --- it seems to suffer from 'back focus' here at f2.8 focus was on the wire baskets but the Old Gent is OUT as are the Baskets and things inside the shop are sharper .
Tests on my 50mm f1.4 Carl Zeiss T* PLANAR on my CONTAX RTS II Quartz showing 'back focus' -- here at f1.4 I focussed on the Wall of the ruin but bricks on building behind are sharper.
