I'm shooting raw also just that I don't know how to get the skin color correct hehe

there is no need to get a right skin tone , just edit it to nice skin tone =)

SMC Pentax-A 50mm F1.2

Its certainly one of the best slr f1.2 50mm when it comes to consistency (ie. sharpness and bokeh)

reposted from Sony thread

gear is A7r + Lux 80

I find that its not as strong here with this sort of bkgnd.
Looks a bit shifty like its moving.
It likes to be taken outdoors

Congrats on the lens (I've seen incredible stuff from it) and certainly an uncommon lens.

Same here... almost always need to drop color temp by 200-300k and up the magenta by 10pts or more.

I'm still learning to use the lens hehe. Also I need to learn how to play with skin tone in LR too lazy to PP the most PP I am doing is just WB/blacks/shadows

I am also lazy to pp.
But I think not much choice if I want to use the A7 as a digital back for my FF lenses.
That's how the camera/brand is for its colour representation.

To find this later version of MC Rokkor 58/1.2 is hard enough, to get a good copy is even harder and depends on your luck. Locally quite a few bros I know holding a few good copies individually, other than tat, eBay ones r the older PG version or Rokkor X version, not this later version with serial number starts from 274xxxx

 

[Eddie77]

Yes, was told by bro Keith to get the latest version instead of 2nd version. But till now no luck to find one .. Is there any significant different in 2nd and 3rd version ?

Contrast and flare resistance most probably.
