Lloyd: That shot surprised me too. The lens was the wrong choice for the day (lots of blown highlights). It actually is pretty versatile and does have apertures other then the f/1.0!These are great, Matt. I really like that processing on that first one. The second shot is really interesting, but as much from the standpoint of the field of view as anything. I was surprised to see that it was shot with the 50 f1, as at first blush I would have marked it as shot with something wider. Excellent result, which really shows the versatility of that lens... great even stopped down.
Kurt: +1.Great stuff, Kurt. Love them all, but the reflection in particular. :salute:
Ron: Beautiful Photo. The natural and artificial light are perfect.La Plagne (France)
Ashwin: Take a deep breath and count to 10. You're doing a very workmanlike job with your lesser equipment! :thumbs:Great stuff, Kurt, Dierk, Endre, and Ron!
Kurt, damn, I have lost my mind looking at the wonderful shots you are making. Unfortunately, no obvious takers for my proposed lens auction (actually got lowballed a couple of times...not so fun), so I will stay put and wait for a time more appropriate for joining the club!
Best,
Ashwin
A successful test test! Really nice image.My CV 35 Nokton finally arrived today.
sort of a test shot with the M8
These are all great, Dierk, but this last one is breathtaking. :thumbup:Just for demonstration of the RF capabilities
these images are nothing special, just for demonstration for those, who are looking here and don't know, if a RF like Leica M9 will be a good choice.
I had the same problem 4 months ago after decades shooting SLR and big problems with my eyes (holes in the macula)
I am always again surprised, how exact I can focus with the rangefinder (and 1.25x Viewfinder Magnifier with the 90mm Macro Elmar)!
the 1:1 crop

Dierk: +1. Cheers, MattThese are all great, Dierk, but this last one is breathtaking. :thumbup:
Great color, and brilliant detail. Love the reflection too. Again with the great f1 stopped down work. Nice.An artful picnic. Bridge across the railroad tracks. Cheers, Matt.
Lloyd: Thanks. Cheers, MattGreat color, and brilliant detail. Love the reflection too. Again with the great f1 stopped down work. Nice.
cheers,-A successful test test! Really nice image.
agree on that.These are all great, Dierk, but this last one is breathtaking. :thumbup:
+1, Another iconic shot.Beautiful shot, Woody!

+1 :clap: on that.+1, Another iconic shot.
agree. equipment, be that M.... any and many of the available lenses out there are tools essential,- but the way you see the world is even more important.Nice images Endre, Dierk, Ron, Matt and Woody. I firmly believe that they prove that a good eye is so much more important than the lens used. The whole thread is a testament to the excitement, passion and the results of shooting with digital rangefinders. Even going back a simple five pages in this thread demonstrates the wide variety of focal lengths, apertures, age, and brands of lenses.
That being said, Ashwin, take your time in joining the new noct club. You are already producing fantastic shots with your current lenses. There is no need to abandon your current set-up to chase the new noct dragon until you are ready. So many of us (and I'm probably the poster boy for buying and selling lenses) end up regretting and rebuying a variety of lenses over time. I waited for about four months for my new noct to arrive ... which gave me plenty of time to decide if I really wanted to make such a drastic alteration to my lens kit. In the end, I'm happy with my choice, but I know that somewhere down the road I'll eventually want/need to repurchase another 75lux for portraits.
