    Leica Sonnar 50 1.5 LTM Questions

    Brian-Sonnar should answer. But while I'm looking at it, yes, I 'serviced' my own J-3-LTM. It aledgedly is not that hard, there are on-line manuals. I used my own 'markings' at disassembly. remarks: 1) I also cleaned up the helicoid through which the lens is mounted in the house. I noted that...

    Leica Yet another new Voigtlander lens (28mm F1.5)

    Looks great. I was tending to the Nokton F 2.0. Now tghis IS a game vchanger for me. The II-brass one please . . . What I like is that this whole new range of lenses from the last few years have a new design, not a Double Gauss anymore. To me, the Alpa 50mm macro Kilar from the 1960-ies had...

    Leica Elmarit-M 28 Pre-ASPH vs. ASPH

    Maybe a slight remark as o preferences of lenses: as the resolution of sensors change then the lens preferences change too. Many comparisons were originally made with the M8/M9, but now with the M11 everything might be different. I now appreciate the high res lenses much more than I did in the...

    L-Mount Leica M-lenses on L-mount cameras - post yours!

    I saw no apostrophe (anymore) that I probably would put one in camera's - they erroneously do that here in Holland I guess, but US has the plural correctly without .. :sick: I changed the hyhen so it now reads Leica M-lenses - that is also more correct But I think any lens on an M-adapter...

    Leica New Voigtlander Lens: Ultron 75mm F1.9

    This new lens looks not like a Sonnar - it is rather a modern type of lens. - I have a 75mm Summarit-M, has a 6-element, 4-group double Gauss design also featuring anomalous partial dispersion plus it has high refractive index elements. I really like it. I use it mostly very wide open at f2.5...

    Encroaching

    In standard processing the shadow of the trees were not stark enough. With SEP I got the right effects, and a nice border to top the composition off. I like the contrast of the pavement grain and the wheel. Stunning. I probably used HP5. Some films give magic. M-Monochrom. 40mm M-Rokkor.

    Parijs MP103410-bewerkt- RFF1-2.jpg

    Pronto. The Instax - Just a nice placeholder. Added grain (the add-grain slider of LR does not give much), made the right tone in the shadows (the enhance-shadows slider of LR does not give much) and I'm happy with the result. M-Monochrom to start off, 40mm M-Rokkor lens

    A New Theme - C&C welcome

    More comments Pete . The photo's have a LoMo (eie Russian) feeling to them. Maybe that is why BBW sees that veil of doom hanging in the pictures. The funny thing is, many lenses have imperfections (dark corners/soft corners); processing creates more (grain, contrast, enhanced fidelity); and...

    Leica Sensors - CCD vs CMOS

    Not a fair comparison? First a good standard old-fashioned CMOS shot: Shadows increased a bit, to be honest. And some other things in the M10-R profile of LR. Then a modern BSI-sensor The same picture with the first camera showed it was muddier, but of course, the setting sun changes every...

    Leica Sensors - CCD vs CMOS

    Interesting. As I moved to the M10-R I noticed that the vignetting is less too. I even have the impression lenses are sharper (not only due to the higher resolution) but the way they depict is nicer (the main bokeh circle for some lenses). maybe I should sit down and show some images. The Lumix...

    Leica Sensors - CCD vs CMOS

    My M10-R with the CMOS sensor derived from a medium format leica sensor has a great color separation, fine details, superb shadow depiction. It is a big step beyond my previous CMOS-M240. But I always looked with awe at the organic, plastic quality of my first M8 CCD pictures. The M10-R might...

    For almost the same size, a thu-the-lens is much more convenient than an EVF. That said, I get good results from my S5. But really having a small OVF [digital, old generation, again] would make me happier. I had a gorgeous Canon F1 New with a special ground glass. A dream. My wife loved it...

    Leica Fake 5cm F2 Sonnars on Ebay, Jupiter-8 lenses with a Phony Name ring.

    This you has been going a long time: fake Leitz LTM lenses that are in fact for instance Industars, that won't even focus correctly. The brutality: they don't even give an housing with correct flange distance and helix turning angle. Now that would be worth something. [As Skyllany showed]

    Leica Dirty lens .....

    Might it look like internal reflection, from the edges of the lenses where the black covering has let loose> I think this because the ring it is so regular.

    Successor to the Epson R-D1

    In the market of today it would certainly have a good place. And they can get away with LTM. Probably Leica won't allow (patents?) to have a use of the M-Mount, like Minolta was allowed to do. Who owns Minolta and their intellectual legacy? Anyway - it is great they share this.

    Leica The New Leica M11 will cost $8995 USD

    Of course we need to know too how well it stands out in the field with non-Leica glass. For instance, in the Lumix S5 (similar BSI) the 40mm M-Rokkor does not work- the corners curve off like as if there is a tennis-ball inside. Other lenses like 50mm Canon F1.4 LTM give lousy corners wide open too.
