Fun w/Digital M Images

Can't let the MM guys have all the fun... ;)

Had a sweet day out in the autumn sunshine yesterday! All shot with the Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH, wide open of course - with an 8x ND filter to help. Additional minor vignetting added on some (mainly those including a lot of sky). The Noctilux really helped kill the cluttered background in many of these shots, and added a real pop to the subjects.

More Noctiluvin' going on. Here are some more from a different setting, the Japanese Stroll Garden. Same setup as above, sans ND filter (since the scenes were mostly under tree cover, it wasn't necessary).

Some shots with the 21mm f/1.8 Ultron from the Japanese Stroll Garden... This lens is really pretty amazing for the money, IMO.

Cool shots from an uncommon lens.
Thought of getting one myself, looked at it in Japan. Really liked its light weight for its speed (faster than a lux but lighter than a cron). However I have a 50lux v2, can't justify owning both, and couldn't part with the lux..

Would love to see more, keep em coming!!

Lastly I was putting an MS Optical 50 f1.1 through it's paces. It has some problems, but in general is a gorgeous, loveable, little lens. All at f1.1:



In HK it's traditional to lots of fruit and mooncakes during mid-autumn. Here's an accidental still life



High contrast, bokeh and CA's. It's soft but the eyelashes are super sharp (sorry haven't uploaded a crop but can do if anyone is interested in this lens).




It has a very short throw on the focus, which surprisingly, you can actually focus pretty accurately. The feel is a little too light. It's really easy to change the aperture by accident:

Very nice Michael. I have my 90 Elmarit-M up for sale in the classifieds here on the forum. These make me think I should reconsider selling it! (Now if I just had your eye too!) BTW, Nice review of this lens on your site. Thanks for that. :thumbup:

Michael just love the 1st & last in the set the first the shadows on the rocks of the ferns and the last the wonderful colour contrasts. Well done!

Thank you, all around! It's a really sweet lens. I've often thought of going APO-Summicron, but I can live without f/2 (or keep telling myself that). The real selling points are the compact size, 46mm filters and top-notch performance. I've actually been meaning to revisit (rewrite) that review to be much more in-depth. One of my first ones and some two+ years old now. Either way, glad you liked it!

Thanks so much! It was such a lovely day with the sun streaming through the varied plants, trees and flowers there... And it was constantly changing! I'd make one pass through the garden, swap lenses for a different viewpoint and it was a whole different experience. Small place, really - but I was there for a solid two+ hours.
