Beautiful bokehgraph! Simply gorgeous! :thumbs: Best, Leica 77. :)

LJ2004: ++1 Lovely photo, wonderful bokeh!


The black and white that Antara posted earlier is also an interesting B&W shot with Bokeh! Very Nice indeed . . . . . I will have to give this a try . . . . .

Michiel really enjoyed your two roses . . . . . the photo looked smooth as silk with a very soft bokeh, wonderful!


Rafael, what a fun shot of the birds and the cat! Very nice photo . . . . .


Life is Grand!

Lovely Rose image, Dan.

Here's another one - taken with my newly acquired Isco-Gottingen-Westromat 1.9/50 (thanks to Michiel and Leica :angry:) This lens will from henceforth be called the *****************1.9/50

Keith

PS - I used the Italian tilt adapter in this shot

Leith, lovely shot!

. . . . . thanks to Michiel, Leica77, and you, i am pretty sure I'll be owning a *********************** 2.8/35 :eek: and a *****************1.9/50 one of these days! :eek::eek:

It would be great if some one who owns a lot of lenses would put together a listing of the adaptors they use for each lens. If you or anyone else know if such a publication, or a thread on a blog, exists it would be a great resource.

Rose and the Outbound Boat
Entering the Small Lock - Ballard Locks - Seattle, WA


GF1 with Leica D Summilux 25mm f/1.4 ASPH. -- ISO 100 -- f/2.8 -- 1/3200


Attempt at creating a bokehgraph with one of the Four/Thirds lens . . . . .

. . . . . the bokeh is not as good as I would have liked, and I did break the 'Rule of Thirds,' but I did like the shot!

Antara, Sushi Bar Still Life are beautiful bokehgraphs! All three are wonderful!

Keeping each a simple composition, yet each is unique in color, with the bokeh very pleasing in all three.

Great lens!

. . . . . thank you for the lesson master . . . . . :D:D:D

GF1 with Ernst Leitz Wetzler Summitar 5cm f/2 -- ISO 100 -- f/2 -- 1/2500

. . . . . took a raw file and converted to B&W to see how it would look.

The color copy looks like:

Thanks again for your support Leica.

Of course, this is the lens that you showed us on this site. I've taken a few with it and I really like it.
I think the tilt adapter gives me more flexibility to get good pictures when I use it. In this one the selective focus suits me well for what I was trying to get.

Have you tried one yet?

Keith
