[Leica] Leica] Some with the Cooke Amotal

[Lluis Ripoll]

Merci Philippe!!!

This old lens performs very well in this kind of pictures, I usually set it at f4, this is the f stop that Leicashop was tall me that the lens rendition was at it best. The Taylor & Hobson lenses was mainly made for movies and big format and in our days they are specialised only in lenses for TV and big format, one of the characteristic of these lenses id that they give a smooth cream sharpness with a nice separation of the background.

For me this lens is difficult to operate, it don’t have a focusing lever, for this reason I use it many times, as I was do for the picture you like, pre-focusing it at 10 feet and I approach the subject up to it is in focus and “click”.

Thank you for looking and your kind comment

Amitiés
LLuis
