!Nomad64 Posted April 17, 2012 Share #501 Posted April 17, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) LTM Elmar 90/4 @ f8. Scaling doesn't render justice. Actual image is quite sharp and performance's very even on the whole field. I just converted into BW and increased just a bit the sharpness and contrast. Bruno Welcome, dear visitor!

!Nomad64 Posted May 13, 2012 Share #513 Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) A couple test shots with the Telyt 200/4 on a Visoflex I + LTM/M adapter, both at full aperture. Meet the quirkiest DSLR ever made. I just hope I'll never have to reassemble it when the unrepeatable moment will come... Still it works and the results it can deliver aren't that shabby either. After all the lens itself is very a respectable Mandler design and the fact that they kept it into production from 1961 to 1984 must mean something! Bruno Welcome, dear visitor!

!Nomad64 Posted May 13, 2012 Share #514 Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) And here's a test shot with an LTM Hektor 135/4.5, this too at full aperture. My excuse being that at f8 (almost) all lenses behave decently but it's at full aperture where they reveal most their character. Mostly regarded as a dog compared to the more modern Elmars I still feel that at close distance it delivers sweeter images, making it a solid candidate for severed heads portraits and glowing dreamy images. At further distances it sadly remains a dog... Bruno Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
