Washington Posted March 27, 2011 Share #301 Posted March 27, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I love old glass as it recorders a special ‘’feeling’’ one wishes to retain rather than clinical sharpness. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Hi Washington, Take a look here M8 and Old Glass. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
wstotler Posted April 17, 2011 Share #302 Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) I shot these with a 1953 Elmar f/3.5 5cm LTM on an M8. (Graphic design, writing, etc., by me.) Part of a professional-development design project. I really like how the Elmar renders out-of-focus areas. Nicely smooth.

wda Posted April 17, 2011 Share #304 Posted April 17, 2011 Your project "LOOK" shows how well old lenses can perform in today's world. My old Elmar gets little use, but when it does, it invariably pleases me with its rendering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstotler Posted April 18, 2011 Share #305 Posted April 18, 2011 Nomad & David: Thanks kindly. For its price vs. performance, the Elmar 5cm is a good buy. Surprising (to me, anyway) that an almost 60-year-old lens can still hold its own. Cheers! Will 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patman Posted June 6, 2011 Share #317 Posted June 6, 2011 Patman, I really like those icicles. Did you make a feature of those in any shots? Re: comment on differences between your two shots. the changing quality of light can account for apparent colour shifts. Yes I did, I shot this early one morning. Welcome, dear visitor!
