[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've been using Fd lenses on my new G1 for the last 2 days and have also been having good results. The 50 1.4, 35-105 3.5 and 200 2.8 work particularly well and also balance nicely on the G1 body. The 28 2.0 introduces flare from windows and isn't as useful. Still need to test the 300 5.6 and 500 8.0 mirror lenses.

All pics with the 50mm Summicron. Some seem to have a curious softness to them that, on blowing up the photo, doesn't appear to be radical focus error. There's a noticeable cleaning mark on the front element of this lens and I wonder if any of you trained-eye-owners can see its effects? I'm thinking particularly of the picture of the lamppost. Which may just be out of focus. By the way, with the appropriate adapter, I've also mounted many old Minolta lenses on this camera. The results have been astoundingly good. Also the CV 21/4 and the Elmar-C 90/4. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
