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...
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...
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Many comparisons were originally made with the M8/M9, but now with the M11 everything might be different.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...
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...
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...
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.
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
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...
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...
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...
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...
This little princess who does not seems to be happy on her planet, looks to be the sister of Le Petit Prince, who fell from an asteroid on the earth eighty years ago.
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...
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]
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. Merely a fat fingerprint on a lens or filter shows off differently.
At Leica they will clean and repaint it, and in the meanwhile ensure...
I like to make this in an open Leica-CL/SL, Lumix-S and Sigma fp image thread.
Last year I went ahead into the new mount (and sensor) world by taking up a Panasonic Lumix S5.
- Some L-mount camera's were fast in having new sensors. The Leica-SL2 and Lumix S1/5 have a new sensor, with BSI -...
sure want see more of this :love::cool::sick::cry:
And that while my wife came in with a Caffè latte double roasted Hawaii topping in my favorite special Black Paint mug that was handmade in Solms
I have the Panasonic S5, dual gain. I like the low ISO, but high gets flatter imho. And there are some artifacts . . .
Like the electrolic rolling shutter in electronic shutter mode
The thing is : do we like a camera having an inbuilt 110 year old 'Lartigue-style' (the oblong lines of the Grand...
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.
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.
yes 24 is enough for me. [Even the M8 was enough, with its very high quality output].
- I do not like files of sizes like 80 Mb like I am getting from another camera I added to my shelf lately. Look downstream: my computer has 8GB RAM, I would also need to replace that.
Iso, corner handling...
