Review Emitar / s 4,5 / 80

Emitar / s 4,5 / 80 - enlarger lens with landing thread M42, 80mm focal length and aperture F / 4.5-F / 16.0 with 5 petals. This is not a simple ordinary lens. Emitar / s 4,5 / 80 does not have a focus ring, and it also has a non-standard, very long working length. Attention: Emitar / s 4,5 / 80 does not know how to focus at all.

Use on modern cameras

For use on the CZK, the lens should be mounted on the camera using macro rings. I used a 2cm thick macro ring to focus on infinity on Nikon cameras, and a 5cm thick macro ring for macro photography. Macro rings help lengthen the working segment of the camera to be able to focus on infinity. Attention: if you just install Emitar / s 4,5 / 80 through an adapter M42-nikon, M42-Canon EOS, M42-Pentax, etc. then nothing can be removedas the lens will be focused beyond infinity.

Image quality:

The lens is very afraid of flare (side and backlight). But the lens has very small HA, small vignetting on crop, no distortion. The bokeh is pretty nice. At closed apertures, the lens gives the usual 'nuts'. The sharpness is good enough, because the lens is suitable for macro photography.

Personal experience:

The lens is convenient to use as a macro shooter. In macro lenses, the ability to focus is not so important - you can simply move the camera with the lens back and forth. Thus, focusing on the object occurs. For macro, you need to use macro rings a little more than 5 cm. I haven't tried super macro.

Sample Photos

Everything is filmed on Nikon D40, APS-C, crop 1.5x, on-camera JPEG VI, without treatment, reduced size to 3mp and imprinted data from EXIF.

Interesting information:

Lenses Amar 4,5 / 105 и Mikar / s 4,5 / 55 and this Emitar / s 4,5 / 80 have a very bad reputation. True, I have not seen other tests and reviews when using them on modern central control centers. Because I created special offer, asked to guess / find out with which lens the photos were taken.

I took all the photos on Emitar / s 4,5 / 80. Photo enthusiasts attributed this to Emitar / s 4,5 / 80 the virtues of legendary lenses like: Helios-44m-4, Jupiter-9, Jupiter-37A, Helios-81N, Industar-96U, Vega-11U, Vega-12B, Granite-11N. And even Janpol Color 5,6 / 80, Industar-61, rangefinder Jupiter-11, Mikar / s, Amar 4,5 / 105, Canon 18-55, Nikon 24-120mm, Super-Takumar 1.9 / 85, Nikon AF Nikkor 80 mm f / 2.8.

And also wrote that filmed on D200, D300, D90, D60, D80, Canon 1000DSony Nex and even on D700, though, everything was filmed on Nikon D40... And yet, a photo on Emitar / s 4,5 / 80  http://500px.com/photo/12627851 I received great popularity by rating among all my works on 500px.com and was even included in the Popular 500px.com section.

It only says that not everything is so bad with Emitar / s 4,5 / 80, as well as that important how to take pictures, but not by what means. Little Emitar / s 4,5 / 80 in some respects (aperture at the long end, bokeh, price) can easily put a whale lens on the shoulder blades Nikon 18-55mm f / 3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor.

Conclusions:

Emitar / s 4,5 / 80 can serve as a “training” lens for macro experiments. The Emitar / s 4,5 / 80 is attracted by its cost, compactness and sharpness.

Help to the project. Thanks for attention. Arkady Shapoval.

    Thanks for the review, and an interesting contest.

      not at all : )

    Well, guessing it was almost not realistic. thought about d40 slipped through, but did not voice. in general, it is difficult to guess the lens in the picture only if the bokeh is completely non-standard or you yourself use such a lens very often.
    in Soviet times, a lot of all kinds of optical elements were made. I think you can find a lot of interesting specimens and stick them to the Central Control Commission)). for the sake of experiment, I attached a webcam to a movie lens (sorry it’s not at hand, I forgot the name, it seems like a focal 17-50). Due to the monstrous crop of the matrix, a stunned focal length at the long end was obtained. and since the infrared filter was glued to the camera’s native glass and, accordingly, removed, the camera became infrared. did you work with film optics?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      No, it didn’t work.

  • Rodion

    Of all the FU lenses, Amar mmn liked me the most. True, I have not tried so many.

  • Simon

    I don't know I don't know ... I really liked the pictures of this Imitar ...
    I even wanted to buy it ... How does it fit with Nikon and of course it probably loses infinity up to how many meters or centimeters?

  • Simon

    I revise the pictures and trudge as far as it gives beautiful transitions of the image, with some softness it blows to see the portrait from it? Ah people?

    • Rodion

      The depth of field is too great for the portrait, although it is mono to try.
      If you like such lenses, try the Triplet 78 / 2.8 (it is also quite soft) or the formatted Tessars with FR over 100 mm and from F / 4.5.

      • Lynx

        For a portrait, the flu can be too narrow, but not wide at all.

  • Simon

    Rodion, Triplet 78 / 2.8 is even serious :)))) For lovers of rings ... I'll see Tessar ...

  • Alexander Tripolsky

    I tried Emitar 4,5 / 80mm and I can say that it is well suited for both macro and infinity shooting. You only need to buy a helicoid. Here is a link to the photos taken with this lens.

    Emitar, Amar and Mikar are Tessars, all three?
