M8 with VC Nokton 35m F1.2 test shots

Maarten van Druten · 08/27/08, 10:02 PM

Today I have tested my new M8 at school, here are some test shots with the VC Nokton 35mm F1.2.
(All shots are wide open at F1.2)

Nice images, all. Great color. Wondeful bokeh. Welcome Aboard.

Stop looking at the girls and playing with your camera in class. You should be listening to your professor!

I appreciate the gentle pastel colors.

Well, I know you looked at her, but somehow you captured HIM in a very authentic movement: great.

Number 2 is a great shot. Welcome and enjoy!

Thanks for the post.

I am looking for a 28mm and the Ultron 2.0 has made it to the top of the list.

I called my camera shop and they have one in stock. Now that I have seen your pics taken wide open I think I am doomed

Thank you all for your nice comments, more studying for me means take more photographs!
(because I study photography on the Academy of Arts :-)

Today I have tested the Leica M8 with the VC Nokton and the VC Heliar F2.0 wide open at F2.0
All shots are made in DNG, converted to JPEG in Adobe Lightroom, all settings were default.

I did physics, which certainly was a mistake, looking at your images...

OK, OK, OK, you made your point: inspirational surroundings. And not a bad place to try out your M8 either. I like the one with all the girls on the floor between all that carton best. From a technical point of view that is
