Just like my previous thread on the CV50/1.1, I thought that I'd post several samples of the M9 with the 75lux because I haven't seen too many photos yet with the combination.
As a caveat, the 75lux has always been one of my all-time favorite lenses. That being said, I always found the lens to be just a bit too long for me on the M8. So, I was somewhat apprehensive to try the lens on my M9 that arrived on Friday ... no one likes to see one of their favorites knocked down a peg or two.
To see how the 75lux would feel on the M9 and help others decide whether or not it might be a lens they would want to consider, I thought that I'd spend some time this weekend putting together some shots in a variety of conditions. I happen to be someone that likes to shoot wide-open so most of the samples I put together are wide-open or very close to wide-open.
On the M8, I used a magnifier and often struggled with pinpoint focus when using the 75lux. I didn't even need to bother on the M9 as focus was fast and accurate on the M9 ... I'm not certain why that is, but it got to the point that I didn't even think to worry about my accuracy with the 75lux. (My copy of the 75lux isn't pinpoint accurate, but there is enough room in the in-focus zone right now for me not to worry about it in the near-term.)
Anyway, here's a link:
