The All New More and More Fun With Digital M Images

Here's 2 from my first, quick, outing with a newly acquired 50 summicron DR with eyes. I read it was safe to use on the M9 only at focus distance 3 meters or less. I got the lens mostly for film use, but also to have a semi-macro ability at 50mm on the M9. I'm very excited at the possibilities, and this really is a heck of a good lens. These two were at close to the nearest focus distance of 19 inches. best....Peter

Look great, Peter. Looking forward to seeing more with that combo.

Don't know how I missed these earlier. Wonderful moody light. Really nice!

Lloyd: Thanks. I picked up that lens used (very minty) on Sunday. That first one's from my office deck. I'm also trying to get a little smoother PP. I think some of my images (especially with the 24mm lux) were over-sharpened.

Cheers, Matt.

Hey everyone. I put up my DR shots having not been by this tread for a while. Man, so many freaking great images, just breathtaking work, really by everyone! Sorry for the lazy way out of commenting one to one, but trust me, I really mean that the work is all inspiring and beautiful. best...Peter

Sorry you have to put up with that off your deck. :cool: What vintage is that 90 Elmarit? I have an older one, with I like stopped down, but honestly, at least on my M8, I'm underwhelmed by its performance wide open. I like my 90 Hexanon better at 2.8.

@ innerimager: beautiful details, on the 1st shot especially.

@ eleanorbrown: I like the tones, very appropiate choice.

@ boymerang: good mood there.

Lloyd: Actually the second shot was also from the deck. I think my lens is a more recent one based on the serial # and built-in hood. I'm not sure that i shot anything at f/2.8? I'll try it tomorrow. My EXIF data might not be right. I didn't set the lens detection to manual with this lens identified. I'll have to check the 90 Hexanon out. Cheers, Matt

More Sonnar funtimes, these at f/1.5. I think I should ask if I can return the aperture blades for a partial refund, as this lens is gonna live its life wide open. On M9.

Thanks Osman :)

Lovely leg Endre!

Kurt: this is a Zeiss ZM C-Sonnar, certainly not as sharp as most 50's wide open, but quite pretty none the less and sharp enough for print/web.

Thanks for your comments Lloyd and Matt. Think the Leica will offer me an opportunity to do some shooting that I would otherwise have not done...such as handheld low light higher iso work, etc. It will be an interesting journey! The lenses are very very sharp so I will have to modify my usual sharpening technique in Capture One. Eleanor
