The Mamiya/Sekor 50mm 2.0 part II

Mamiya/Sekor 50mm 2.0

After my first copy developed an audible grinding noise in the? focus ring (sand and grit) I went on the hunt for a second copy and found this one on the Bay. It came with the camera which I consider a very heavy rear lens cap. I use it for all of my product work and if it performs as well as the last one in bright sunlight with backlit subjects, I’ll be happy with this lens until my battery dies.

Fast focus?
That depends on how fast you can rotate the barrel.

Accuracy of focus?
That’s what live view and magnification is for.

When I start shooting Dragonflies and Bee’s (like there’s ever going to be a shortage of those shots) I’ll grab myself a 100mm 2.8 but until then this is a pocket-able alternative that gives great colour and edge to edge sharpness every time. If you come across one, buy it.
