Last time I tested this lens I was quite pleased by result. But it was only test shots. Today, I decided to give it an opportunity to do portraits photos (as it's a tiny lens, it's not a big deal to add it to the bag). Well, I like its rendering a lot! Naturely, it has to be corrected in post-treatment, especialy contrast and colors (since it was made for B&W photo, we cannot blame it). So here is a portrait I made with it on Sony A7.

Nice photo! The Fed 2.0 is capable of taking good color pictures, but usually you have to clean the optics inside. A very thin layer of grease builts up over the years. Just like a window, you only see the difference after wiping.
The contrast of this lens is commonly a little lower, because it has many reflecting surfaces and no coatings. Which brings down the contrast. When the lens ages a natural coating builts up which improves the lucidity but it is only a little.
You can make excellent color shots with non-coated lenses. Most black and white film is panchromatic (even back then) and requires the lens to be color corrected.

| I've seen a lot of reviews of old lenses but most of them seem to be done using digital cameras. I was wondering if anyone knows if old lenses perform differently on digital cameras than on old cameras? |

| I like this portrait photo! A very gentle girl, and I like that the background is blurred and the girl is the central figure in the frame. Is this a friend or relative of yours? If this is your girlfriend, you are very lucky to admire such a beauty next to you all the time. I recently looked at photos from my youth. My wife and I are very young and beautiful in these pictures. Our son saw these old pictures and gave us a gift. He ordered the printing of enlarged photographs on https://www.frameshop.com.au/acrylic-prints. Now old photos have joined the ranks of photographs on the wall in our living room. |
