Advertisement Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Hi lct, Take a look here B/W Leica X1 test shots. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ho_co Posted November 25, 2009 Share #22 Posted November 25, 2009 Hi there, these pics are made by me... Welcome, to the forum Mr Spy! I hope you find us all in style here. Somehow, it looks as if this thread has become the bo-ke hotspot of the day. Thanks for posting. When did you get the X1? To your knowledge, is it becoming available? Ganz schöne Ersterfahrungen! Mir gefallen insbesondere #8 Bus; #10 Himmelsspiegelung; #19 Stacheldraht; und #22 leuchtendes Auto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhabedi Posted November 25, 2009 Share #23 Posted November 25, 2009 Somehow, it looks as if this thread has become the bo-ke hotspot of the day. Right. I already wanted to write something about it (against it, actually), but was too lazy. Then, while searching for something completely different, I stumbled across this text by accident: Opiates of the masses: Bokeh This guy said it much better than I could ever have done (and he has some more interesting rants on his webpage). BTW, no reason to argue about this. That's Dante Stella's opinion and I happen to share it. If you don't, that's fine with me as well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops i realise that i'm hijacking this thread, sorry folks. Yes, I agree that some lenses have better OoF attributes than others. However, I don't agree that you can know how a lens is going to react in all situations based one one or two photos. Nor do I agree that bokeh is everything... it is mearly one word in an immense photographic vocabulary. From the link posted above: "Second, many photographers appear to emphasize (and rely on) bokeh to make up for what are really severe compositional defects in photographs (point light sources in frame, relatively busy backgrounds, etc.). The use of bokeh for this purpose goes hand-in-hand with the "wide-open, close-up" school of photography that not only leans on bokeh to tidy up backgrounds but also uses shallow depth of field to increase interest in what ordinarily would be unremarkable subjects." I'd be happy to own a X1. I think the images look great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
