I make no apologies for that, because I believe that each image stands on its own merits. You will see many treatments of similar themes. However that has not stopped me from carrying this large and heavy lens along with me on my photo expeditions whenever I go out. My only regret is that I am not able to utilize its capabilities fully: it will cover an area of 6x9cm, and I am using it only on 35mm full frame. This one, being 102mm at f1.9– as compared to the shorter focal lengths–is especially nice, I feel, for the extremely shallow depth of field, which shows off the unique look of the out-of-focus areas stunningly. The Super Sixes do have a particular look unlike any other lens that I have used. I wondered if actually I was making a mistake, and the rendering of this lens would be similar to others that I have. I thought long and hard before spending a large chunk of my savings on this particular lens. As I mentioned in my “Dallmeyer lenses” page, the lenses from this English maker are highly prized for their lovely bokeh, and the Super Sixes are held in special awe and command astronomical prices.
