...but it's getting too close. And how much of the framing can you see?It'll still be lighter than 1DS3 setup.
It's pointless to debate on other factors such as framing.. I was speaking strictly in terms of weight....but it's getting too close. And how much of the framing can you see?
I am unsure if this one (apparently the Noktor tweaked a bit) and lenses like the Schneider 50/0.95 actually cover the whole 35mm frame. They might illuminate it (albeit poorly with vignetting). There is likely a strong field curvature as well.Bokeh at edges is somewhat disturbing/unpleasant on some of the sample pics.
No he hasn't. No he doesn't. No he won't. At best, his 'Real World' 'Reviews' are severely limited appraisals to be very wary of.Steve Huff tests SLR Magics 50/0.95
Large, and substantially heavier than Noctilux, three times heavier than a Summilux. I'm not the target for this lens, but I wouldn't expect to get a one-[ish] stop hand-holdability advantage with the 'SLR' at three times the weight of the [substantial enough] Summilux, and giving worse depth of field at wide open...... how much does this "magic" lens weight? 'Nuff said.
Seems like SLR Magic is going Zeiss route - more elements for more corrections. Leica has been trying to do more with less, which I find somehow more pleasing. I do like Zeiss 21mm lens though.12 elements in 7 groups. That is a record for a 50mm lens. The Canon 50/0.95 of 1961 used 7 elements in 5 groups, the Nikkor-N 5cm F1.1 lens used 9 elements 7 groups. The 50/1.1 Nokton is 7 elements in 5 groups, as is the Noctilux.
