[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Some photos from two of my favourite Leica M lenses, The Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. & the APO-Summicron-M 75mm f/2 ASPH. Note retention of shapes even in out of focus areas. See reproduction of highlights and rich tones in shadows. I typically shoot these lenses from wide open to around f/4, like true believers should ;-). The OoF highlights of both are quite characteristic. The larger web sizes provide a better view. 50 wide open (film) http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/90728291 50 f/5.6-ish (film) http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/91239055 50 wide open (M8) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/usa/f/SM9.jpg.html 50 f/4-5.6-ish (M8) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/usa/d/SF11.jpg.html 75 at f/3.8 & f/4 (M8) <http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/106035165> http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/104733063 http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/101824436 http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/f/IB1.jpg.html 75 f/2 (M8) http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/101824440 http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/f/Borg.jpg.html -- Cheers Geoff Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
