Advertisement Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Hi AGeoJO, Take a look here Samples of the 21mm ASPH Summilux at 1.4 with M9?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
innerimager Posted January 29, 2010 Share #22 Posted January 29, 2010 OK then, here's 3 more.....Peter full sized here- http://www.pbase.com/halperin/image/121479883 http://www.pbase.com/halperin/image/121479843 http://www.pbase.com/halperin/image/121479905 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGeoJO Posted January 29, 2010 Share #23 Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks, Peter! What is the aperture used on the building and tree shots, please? According to the exif data on pbase it was f/1.4. I know the data is copied from LR and just an estimation but did you use wide open, f/1.4 aperture on those shots? Thanks again, Joshua PS - I also sent you a PM, BTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerimager Posted January 29, 2010 Share #24 Posted January 29, 2010 No Joshua, they were 5.6, or possibly 4. The bush shot is at 1.4, a crop. I convert either with Capture1 or Raw Developer, and neither does the "guess the aperture" trick. best....Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scc Posted January 30, 2010 Share #28 Posted January 30, 2010 Is that purple fringing I see on the lip of the glass, the edge of the sunglasses, and on/around the knife, where the high contrast transitions are occuring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerimager Posted January 30, 2010 Share #29 Posted January 30, 2010 Is that purple fringing I see on the lip of the glass, the edge of the sunglasses, and on/around the knife, where the high contrast transitions are occuring? Took a close look and yes there was purple fringing I could see at 200-300% This conversion was done with Raw Developer. I did it again using C1 pro and checking the "purple fringing" box in the lens page eliminated the problem. Other's have pointed this out as the best way to manage this problem with the wide lux lenses. Below are crops illustrating this. Each was enlarged 5 times to make it more visible. Raw Developer C1 Pro And here's a link to the full C1 conversion (won't make that mistake again! guinness C.jpg photo - halperin photos at pbase.com Lesson- Use C1 pro for this lens and probably for all M9 conversions as it has the best skin tones as well. I'm a loyal guy, I love Raw Developer and Brain it's creator, maybe he can add this feature. best....Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scc Posted January 30, 2010 Share #30 Posted January 30, 2010 Thanks Peter, The purple fringing that this lens and the 24lux (which I'm still lusting after) have, has put me off a purchase so far, but it seems that C1 deals with it very effectively.

innerimager Posted January 30, 2010 Share #31 Posted January 30, 2010 You're welcome SCC. C1 pro handles it so easily, and has such good quality in general, I really wouldn't let the issue deter you from exploring this exceptional optic. best....Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmobile Posted January 30, 2010 Share #32 Posted January 30, 2010 According to Reid one still gets 'a stop less fringing' with the Lux vs the elmarit i.e the lux is the same at F2 as the elmarit at f2.8... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGeoJO Posted January 30, 2010 Share #33 Posted January 30, 2010 Peter, As you have shown, I agree with you that C1 Pro does a good job the in taking care of the purple fringing. It seems that C1 Pro handles the issue of red edges of the 21mm Elmarit ASPH slightly better than LR 2.6. I am pleased with C1 Pro, just their workflow and file organization/management is not so good as LR. You always have to comprimise, it seems. Oh, well.

zlatkob Posted January 30, 2010 Share #34 Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) The graininess in broad areas of the shadows, especially in the upper left and upper right corners, is much more noticeable than the purple fringing, which only affects very small areas. Is the graininess toward the corners caused by software compensation for vignetting? ETA: The lens quality looks amazing & beautiful in the Guiness photo.

I doubt it's caused by vignetting compensation which anyway wasn't specifically added during the conversion. The Iso was 640 (higher than needed at 1.4 for sure) and I think you are just seeing some shadow noise more prominent in the darker corners. best...Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGeoJO Posted January 30, 2010 Share #36 Posted January 30, 2010 Peter, I compared the two images you processed differently. I noticed that "corner graininess" that zlatkob mentioned to be more pronounced in the image you posted here using RAW Developer than the one processed with Capture One on pBase. Did you notice that, too or is that my imagination? Did you do any vignetting adjustment on any of the two? Thanks, Joshua Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Joshua Joshua- Without looking I'll say that Raw Developer is the converter with the highest resolution of any I have used. It may render "noise" with a little more "detail"! I did not do any vignetting adjustment on either conversion. best...Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
