Panagor 90mm: very versatile macro

See below for some images made with my EOS 5D mkII and also a few 100% crops

The most interesting vintage lenses, in my opinion, are macro and portrait lenses. This one is actually both. Compliments of the Kino precision company.

Pros:

• good to excellent optical performance in macro and closeup range
• solid build
• macro 1:1
• very little lateral CA
• no visible distorsion!
• common enough in the used marked to cost just a fraction of its AF counterparts like the Tamron 90mm
• nice bokeh, but not the best (foreground is smoother compared to background)

Cons:

• little less sharp (outside the macro range) at full aperture but sharp enough for portraits or less critical applications
• sensitive to backlight
• does have longitudinal CA (bokeh CA)
