Legacy Lenses 3 - Fujinon EBC 50mm F1.4 (M42)

The Fujinon EBC 50mm F1.4 (M42) is, in my opinion, the best 50mm ever made in M42 screw mount. It's incredibly sharp and the superb EBC multi-layer coating makes it very resistant to flare and keeps a high contrast on the entire aperture range, except at F1.4 as expected. From F4 to F11 it's outstanding !

Fuji has a reputation for making one of the finest lenses ever. To be honest, I don't remember seeing a single lens from them that wasn't excellent for the price they asked for it. They're masters.

The optical formula is 7-elements / 6-groups, and it weighs 270g (all metal!).

There are so many 50mm lenses on M42 mount, like the Takumar and some near 50mm like the Yashinon-DX and the Helios-44 range, some are really good, but the Fujinon EBC 50mm F1.4 is stellar and my personal pick for a 50mm in M42 mount.
