Congratulations! The baby is just beautiful.

I have a Hexanon 50/2.4. It is a very sharp lens.

I have read about this adapter, but I trust DAG more than my own ability or lack of it to make such modifications. Don needs the ND filter to do some adjustments, and he will code the lens.

Since I am expecting to get back my Leica M9 soon with a new sensor, I decided it is best to focus on using this camera and not get another camera at this time. I was drawn to the Zeiss Hologon 16/8 since a while as it will open up a new type of photography for me. I am used to 50mm and 35mm...

What looks different with the different cameras used?

Hi Hamish, Happy New Year! I want to ask you for your opinion on getting a Hologon 16/8 modified to M mount. There is one for sale at a very good price. Thanks. Raid

Your lens did very well in your hands. I am looking for such a 75/1.4 lens. The asking prices vary greatly online.

Thanks for the technical facts, Brian. The M240 is not bad at all, but the M8 and M9 may have an edge for soft pastel colors (which I try to catch).

Same to you, Brian. May 2018 be an even better year!

Thank you, Carl, and same to you and to your family.

What is special about a J-8M?

Someone emailed me that now the color images don't look as good as they sued to (with the old sensor). Is he wrong. Brian? This is good to know. Yes, I have been waiting for some time now (since last July I think). I have the loaner M240 :)

I am still waiting to get back my M9 from Leica NJ, and I wonder how the images will be like with the replacement sensor. Has anyone here seen major differences in their M9 after getting a new sensor?

My only "Leica mount Minolta lens" is a 21mm/3.5 that I use with a Minolta-Leica adapter for some very nice looking images.

I love using the legendary Canon 85/1.5. It is a very special lens by Canon. Using it on a digtal camera allows us to quickly correct any focus issues. Digital cameras brought such lenses "added value" since these lenses became more useful.

Thank you Brian. It seems to require a lot of (de-)shimming since many things stay OOF regardless how I focus.

Slightly better here ... When I used LiveView in the M 240:

Brain: I need your help! It looks as if this lens needs some serious shimming. Maybe this is why the previous owner sold it. Using the M240 RF: My eyesight is not that bad.

Here are some snapshots of the lens first. The lens looks clean.

I am content with the Summilux 75/1.4. Using the lens at 1.4 means that I must chosen between an eye in focus (or the other eye) or nose or forehead or .... the dof is too shallow. The 75/1.25 must be "worse".

Tomorrow. Will do.

I bought the same lens from a store in England. Got it today.

I am looking forward to the 35/2. Not that I need yet another lens!

Maybe, her Mad Scientist Laugh was the predictor of her scientific ventures!

These are points that I fully agree with, Brian. I bought a Nokton 50/1.1 (used) as a bargain a while ago, as you have said above, and I bought a 7Artisans 50/1.1 for special applications and for fun. I have several "old" J-3 lenses and Zeiss 50/1.5 that you have adapted, so I still have not...

link: October 2017 iPhone 6 Clams Project - raid Yesterday, I went with my 12 year old daughter (Lina) to Pensacola Beach to collect 150 clams from the Gulf of Mexico. I had to fist purchase a license to be able to do this legally. I stuck my iphone in my back pocket, and I helped Lina count...

That would be great! Let's do this.

My old Summarit may have internal challenges and not haze. It provides lovely looking portraits with a soft focus resemble.

I have not used any of my RF cameras with a tripod so far. I always viewed SLR and MF cameras for possible use with a tripod, but RF cameras were meant for quick, handheld photography. I can see why you need a tripod with night photography!

Thanks! It works well, but having such a lens is complimentary (for me) to my other lenses that I also use for portraits.

It took some practicing with the M240. It was not the lens.

Here are three new images: I may be improving in using the M240.

Thanks for the tip.

We miss your visit too! I agree; I will use the M240 with other lenses where the focusing is not so critical, such as the 35mm lens or a 50mm with max aperture 2.0-2.8.

The lens is heavy and so is the M 240. After one hour of using them both, one of my fingers started to hurt me. It may be the way that I was holding the camera as there is no camera strap. I know that I can focus better on Dana's eyes, so it may have been my focusing or the M240 or the lens or...

My M9 is at Leica USA (NJ) for sensor replacement, so I got a loaner M 240 camera. Then, I got on same day the 7Artisans 50/1.1 from China. It was pouring on that same day, but I took out this camera and lens set to Joe Patti's Seafood in Pensacola to try out the lens (and camera). link...

I did some focusing tests with the 50/1.1 on the M240 this evening. I seem to be able to focus well. The soft results a few days ago may have been caused by dim indoor lights with ISO 160 and Dana not standing still [I hope so!]

I will do both tests. I could also use the lens on the M8.

I just got the M240 as a loaner, so I have no experience with it. I am used to my M8 and M9 cameras.

My few shots taken with the 7Artisans at 1.1 look unsharp to me. It can't be my eyes since I have taken many sharp shots with my M9 and M8. I have used 50/.095 and 50/1.0 and other fast lenses in past years. Is it the M240 or is it the lens or is it the combination of lens and camera or is it by...

Dr. Andreas Kaufmann (Leica AG) wrote me that this seems to be a rumor.

Got it. I can do this test quickly.

The Canon 85/1.5 is a sharp lens if focused correctly.

I used manual lens setting, and I chose the 50/1.0 Noctilux. If I turn the lens detection off versus on, what is the expected effect?

The lens arrived today. It is beautiful and quite heavy. We have lots of rain, but on Sunday the weather may be free of rain. I will try to use this lens during the weekend on the borrowed M240.

I am happy with getting one lens.

Made in Japan?

My 50/1.1 has arrived to Chicago (USPS). Now it needs to make it next to Florida.

So you have ordered a black 50/1.1 ?

I have a Canon 85/1.5. How would you compare it optically with the Nikon 85/1.5?
