Leica Showcase Leica M Image Thread

Correct. Remember that the rangefinder mechanism is a mechanical linkage with the lens. The mechanism only knows the distance set on the focusing ring. If a rangefinder lens suffers from focus shift, you either avoid the aperture(s) at which the shift occur, or learn to compensate for it. No other way around it, as far as I know. Maybe Brian can comment as well.

Regards,

Antonio

From what I have read that's correct. You can get a technician to optimise the focus of the disagreeable lens at a particular aperture if there is one setting that you use more than most. I know this is possible with some lenses but not sure about all.
 
Christmas Time!

Fairly self explanatory really:

This top one was meant to be out of focus;

This bottom one wasn't. Couldn't quite control my excitement.

Oh man, am I jealous....though I think I'd still prefer the M6 :blush: Must have been a struggle to get Leica glass going that soft.... I thought it was nothing but razor sharp. Sweet bokeh though... ;)
 
Thanks Paul,
This postgrad lark is a killer, and I have discovered a deep and personal loathing for academic e-library portals; by the time I've finished with those, I don't want to be near the internet for a while.

Yeah, the black and white one looked great from the moment I saw it on the screen. The band was called The Black Belles, it was a good night.
Ugg, just fixed link - second pic should be there too.
 
Hi, new here... love all the photos, here a couple from my m9 and 35 cron.

Great to see you and your images back Kal. I was only thinking the other day that I would have to step up and start posting some images regularly in this thread as you had gone AWOL :D.

I love the colour that the Biogons produce, I am playing around with the 28mm version myself that I recently acquired.
 
Focus Shift- usually worst from wide-open to F4.

Sonnar at F2:





And at F4.





Focus shifts towards infinity as you stop down. Just nudge the focus a little bit closer when you stop down.
 
Taking my new 35mm 2.5 Summarit for a spin:
