50mm · f/2.8
The A. Schacht Ulm Edixa-M-Travenar-A 50 mm f/2.8 is a Tessar-type lens with gentle sharpness and delicate rendering, including pleasant bokeh and pop-up (alex ph). It performs best at close to midrange distances (alex ph). Build quality is high-end, with attractive red translucent DOF scale (alex ph; jamaeolus). Weaknesses include possible single coating (jamaeolus) and susceptibility to flare (alex ph). Suits photographers seeking a vintage look with character rather than modern clinical sharpness (Lloydy).
