What is your set up with the Macro lens? Is this the 90? How close can you focus. I'm assuming the macro adapter is a problem?
Hi Terry,
I could be wrong but I think you are addressing me here. :confused:
The macro lens is an Leica R-lens [APO-MACRO-ELMARIT-R 1:2.8/100mm] attached to the G1 with two stacked Novoflex adapters: mFT/LEM and LEM/LER. Closest distance from subject to sensor is approx. 43cm or 21,5cm from subject to the front of the lenshood. For a picture see also: http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5028
And I've got an Elpro on its way for even more magnification ... :bugeyes:

Kind regards.

Well, the Leica Apo Macro 100 is the typical "Out of this world Lens"
Stunning picture quality....but lage and heavy, I simply love it.

Until then see:

Sure Brian, no problem. 1st is M8 w/ CV 35 2.5, wide open. Second is G1, kit lens, also wide open. Not difficult to tell which lens if faster, huh?

Thanks James, can't tell for sure but the M8 seems to be gentler on the DR also. Is the G1 shot from RAW?

Kind Regards

The G1 is so much sharper with a great deal of more detail in the image. Look at the metal gate, especially toward the bottom, looking closely at each rung. Then look at the grass and brown area. One nice thing on a Mac is you can zoom the image in or out letting you look at the details very closely.

think the same shot with the same lens with the G1 and the M8 would have been a more interesting comparison.. I do see tonal diffrnrcrs in the M8... but the G1 looks sharper

everybody has a look they like

Have to be careful also with the contrast the G1 does have slightly more because of the DR. It will tend to look sharper but I agree it looks damn nice for sure. No slouch when it comes to image quality. Now don't tell Panasonic but for 650 bucks it's a screamer at least wait until I get mine. LOL

Joe, using Safari, if you go to post #407, click on one of the images. You'll get a window that shows up with the image, and a "Go" box. Click on the image (don't click on Go.) The image will show in Safari, the cursor will be a + sign. Click on the image again to zoom in; click again to zoom out. It won't zoom if your window/display has more than enough pixels, like if you have a 30" Apple Cinema. :)

Kevin, I agree with you. Unfortunately I'm still waiting on my adaptor for the G1 to M so I can do it. I really had not gone out today with the intentions of comparing the 2 cameras, but when Brian asked, it just so happened that I had the same shot that I had taken on both cameras, so I posted them. When my adaptor comes, I'll probably do some more meaningful comparisons.

Yes, it was me and I didn't recognize the name of the lens not realizing it was R and not M. I have a whole new lens lineup to learn :eek:

The way you zoom with the Mac is to hold down the control key and roll the scroll ball. You can go up or bring it back down.
