Leica Showcase Leica M Monochrom

[asiafish]

Anyway, ordered the Chinese one. I'll probably leave it off for my 28, 35 and 50 Cron, and put it on for the J3 and my 75 and 90. Seller indicates it accepts diopter lenses, so should be nice.

It easily unscrews, and provides enough coverage for the 35mm focal length. I like it for the 35/1.2, but it is unnecessary for the 35/1.7. It is a "must" with the 50/1.1 Nokton, and helps with F1.5 and faster.

No f/1.1 for me yet, right now the J3 and/or the Tele-Elmarit 90 and Summarit 75 are my only thin DOF lenses.

Allen, wow this is a superb set. My fav is the X shadow, if have to pick one.

Thanks Dave. I wish that I hadn't blown the highlights in the photo of the two women putting on their glasses.

You captured the moment, that's what counts most.

 

[asiafish]

Yes, EXCELLENT.

Some fun in Las Vegas with the M Monochrom. All images are straight out-of-camera DNG converted to JPEG in Lightroom 5 with no adjustments whatsoever.

These first two are with the MM and the Leica 75mm f/2.5 Summarit

The next two are with the Leica 35mm f/2.5 Summarit (my favorite lens)

No. 1 a story in a picture - very nice. No. 2 a perfect candid portrait, with great warmth. I hope I can do that well eventually.

Thanks Dale. I've seen your work, and it is I who could learn a great deal.

That said, the journey begins this Saturday with an intensive one-on-one lesson in post-processing, and then in January I'll be taking a three day class on "seeing" at the Leica Akademie in Los Angeles.

This morning on the Santa Monica Pier. Shot before a lesson on Lightroom, making these my first "processed" images from the M Monochrom.

I'd love to borrow one of those Jupiter 3 lenses someday. A few people have refurbished them from what I read, and they look quite interesting.
