Fun with M Lenses on anything other then a Leica

[m_driscoll]

Let's start a thread for photos with M lenses on any camera body, other then a Leica. If you're using your M-mount lens on a Ricoh GXR, or Sony Nex, body then it'd be fun to see the results. The Leica, or other M-mount, lenses are the constant. I don't have anything to post, yet, but Ashwin does!

Cheers, Matt

David: These are really great! I think 'M-Mount' is the defining factor. The IQ and composition of the landscape is stunning. :thumbup:

Our fellow forum mate and SLUGGER, Ashwin Rao, wrote a great review of the Ricoh GXR with A12 M-Mount. It can be found here on Steve Huff's website:

Excellent review! :salute: Now, I need one of these.

Thanks Matt, you are too kind.

The landscape for those that do not recognise the iconic landmark, is the Forth Railway Bridge taken from North Queensferry in Fife. It is at long last nearly free of its scaffolding and encapsulation as the huge paintwork exercise is nearing completion.

Matt the quality of those NEX 5n shots looks good.

 

[ashwinrao1]

Wow, Matt. Fantastic pics...The NEX 5N looks solid. Steve and I had written back and forth that the microcontrast, to his eyes, was better for the Ricoh than the NEX. Always hard to tell on websized shots, but your images, macroscopically, are wonderful and really show the unique character that is Leica, particularly the value-village/goodwill capture with the hangers....

So are the NEX 7 and GXR in your future? ....

 

[ashwinrao1]

David, thanks for the advise on the electronic shutter matter. THis is an image that I knee coming back to. I really enjoy the colors and DOF...well done!

 

[m_driscoll]

David/Ashwin: Thank you, Gentlemen.

Ashwin: At this price point, I'm also going to pick up the GXR, and I've preordered the Nex 7! A set of Summarit's probably next on my list.

Cheers, Matt

Shooting from the "hip" (looking down at the tilt-up LCD). I kept inadvertently hitting the video button (maybe it can be disabled), and, somehow changed the exposure compensation (#4-7)?
