Thanks for doing this, Matt. I think one could do fine with either 50 Nokton. As Iāve mentioned, the one major flaw Iāve found in my LTM ā1.5ā is that high contrast out of focus edges can look jarringly jittery in close-focused wide-open shots. Another more subtle drawback is a bit of muddiness...
Matt, could you post a couple of photos that illustrate the pictorial differences you mention between the Voigtlander (older) 50/1.5 and the new 50/1.2? I too have them both. I bought the 1.2 when I saw that Voigtlander had solved the 1.5ās problem of very harsh, wiry background bokeh in...
What are you doing during these crazy times? Post pictures!
I'll start. I play chamber music online using Jamulus and JamKazam, special low-latency apps. There are challenges, but it works. (M10-P, Voigtlander 21/4, self timer, camera supported on cardboard box).
We continue to be amused...
I have a "gelded" DR Summicron. About 11 years ago, I had DAG machine down the close-focus cam so it no longer hit the back of my M8. No regrets--I'd rather have a lens I can use than a shelf queen. It's correct that the close focus range no longer works with the RF. But actually, close focus...
The R72 filter arrived today. So...

This is my front yard on infrared:
Any questions? :-)
Leica M8, 35/2 Summicron IV at f/5.6. Hoya R72* filter for the IR shot. Best IR obtained using the right-hand f/2 DOF mark, based on a very quick hand-held test. The M8 TTL...
Desperate times call for desperate measures. I've still got my old M8. Its excess IR sensitivity ought to make it a good IR camera. Accordingly, today I ordered an R72 IR filter and a couple of step-up rings. I might as well try something new while āThe Plagueā has curtailed my musical...
I never sold my M8. My āHenriā MM has the newer replacement sensor. So Iāve got CCDs. They have become specialty cameras since I gave myself a āwelcome to Medicareā birthday present of an M10-P. But I still love the MM for sure. Iām about to try some IR photography with the M8. Something new to...
If you donāt get a software solution, there is a pencil and paper solution. Go to wrotniak.net . He has a section on many Olympus cameras including a comprehensive listing of the cameras options. Iāve use that with my EM-5 (original model) for years. I printed out the list, and circled or...
The first thing to ask yourself is: "What kind of pictures do I want to take?" Then also, "How much size and weight am I willing to put up with?" And, "Is there some kind of rendering that I really like?" Go for a lens that "sees" like you do, and handles the way you want. Try out different...
In an ideal world, I would like an M10. In the real world, I'm sitting on the fence. These days I mostly use a micro 4/3 camera (Oly E-M5 and fast primes), and sometimes my (original) M Monochrome. My M8 and film M6 are mostly idle. I'm of an age when focusing the RF is not as fast and easy...
