[Leica] Wednesday Weed

[Lluis Ripoll]

Don,

Thank you for the information, as you say the reds are very saturated and contrasted and the sharpness is not the best, this is an old lens, I know it, I had the same but the Zeiss Sonnar 85 f2, very nice for portraits, smooth tones particularly in B&W. What I see is that the shadow areas look very dark without any detail, maybe too much contrast…?

Best
Lluis

For the image posted most of the "pop" came from choosing the as taken instead of daylight white balance.  The lens used is not so sharp at F2 so a fair amount of clarity was added and more than normal sharpening applied.
