Advertisement Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Hi JLV, Take a look here One dream lens for M9?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Wiggi Posted August 24, 2010 Share #62 Posted August 24, 2010 Now: Noctilux 1:0,.9/50mm. What else ... ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted August 24, 2010 Share #63 Posted August 24, 2010 the new 35 Lux, but.... last weekend, I used my 'old' Leitz Lux 75mm 1.4 and it blew me off .... unfortunately, I can't share the screen quality ... What a lovely cat (and portrait). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted August 24, 2010 Share #64 Posted August 24, 2010 I'm guessing that you mean 'away' and not 'off'. But either way, that's a beautiful image. hopefully just a wrong turn of phrase ;-) Great picture in any case... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fsellitto Posted August 24, 2010 Share #65 Posted August 24, 2010 Whichever lens happens to be on my camera at the time! For with a lens you can dream of the images that you will make today, but without a lens you can only dream of what may have been. An insightful response!

Guest Essemmlee Posted August 25, 2010 Share #66 Posted August 25, 2010 I was strangely fortunate this week to buy a used black M9 ( it was still boxed and completely unopened) on Ebay that had no bids against me. The next day I bought the dream lens, a black painted 50 Lux, also from ebay. There were no bids for this either. Spooky......... but........the perfect combination at a phenomenal price.

stunsworth Posted August 25, 2010 Share #67 Posted August 25, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has either arrived yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Essemmlee Posted August 25, 2010 Share #68 Posted August 25, 2010 Has either arrived yet? Both were collected so as to meet the owners and check provenance. The M9 was originally bought from Ivor at Red Dot and is 7 months old, but as stated - not even opened. The lens is just as good as it gets - a perfect match to the M9. They are both stunning and the first photos - taken last night - are beyond my expectations. Sadly it is raining very heavily in Devon this morning so I'm locked in to the office.

stunsworth Posted August 25, 2010 Share #69 Posted August 25, 2010 Glad to hear everything's ok. There have been a few M9 eBay scams recently which could be why bidding was depressed. Annoying for the seller, but good news for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennsport Posted August 25, 2010 Share #70 Posted August 25, 2010 Already got one even before the M9. The Noct f1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjames9142 Posted August 25, 2010 Share #71 Posted August 25, 2010 35 summicron series IV -- which is the only lens I own. If anyone can tell me the steps to get an image from Lightroom to here, I will post some. Don't know what size they should be. I promise not to show pets.

gjames9142 Posted August 25, 2010 Share #74 Posted August 25, 2010 Thankyou Jaap and Adli. I will work on it -- I don't seem to be able to easily reduce the file size from Mbytes to Kbytes, even when reducing quality to a minimum. I am a total computer moron.

adli Posted August 26, 2010 Share #75 Posted August 26, 2010 In the export menu, you can resize the picture, this will reduse picture size significantly. You can also here put a cap on file size, but it is important to reduce picture size in order to achieve small file sizes with acceptable image quality.

aymoon Posted August 27, 2010 Share #77 Posted August 27, 2010 The lens I'm really dreaming of is the new 35 lux. Haven't used it properly yet (just played with it in the Leica store), but I have a good feeling about it. I just hope that it draws as well as the 50 cron I had years ago.

Guest Posted August 27, 2010 Share #78 Posted August 27, 2010 50 Summiliux, closely followed by 24 Summilux 24 Summilux. No M9 yet, but a M6TTL 0.58 for this lens. If I could have a "closely followed by" it would be the 50LuxA. One lens only? tri ( =28-35-50mm - 2.nd version with the tab) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnfell Posted August 27, 2010 Share #79 Posted August 27, 2010 This is my first post on this forum, but Ive been shooting Ms for several years, owning a M6/M8 and have a M9 on order. I am a professional photojournalist for a newspaper so my style of shooting is heavily oriented towards reportage (no sports). I would say that the good ole´ 35mm would be the best choice for an allround lens. I use a 35/1,4 for roughly 90% of my pictures since I got it 2 years ago, and I have gotten pretty creative with it. I actually cherish the lack of choices as it brings out my love of photography like no other camera can. So my advice: Get a 35mm, all three current models are excellent and have something going for them. Summarit - super light weight and not too expensive, especially used Summicron - best of both worlds, a classic Summilux - well if you have only ONE, might as well get this.... Give me the 2010 model ´lux and I would be a happy man with never using another lens. Do keep in mind that "last years" lux is also a phenomenal choice and starting to show up on the used market. But you DID ask about dream lens. ( I would recommend against the super-exotics, such as the .95 Lux, nice lens, but too heavy to carry around at all times IMO. THen on the other hand if you plonked down ten grand for a 50mm, you might want to get some use out of your investment... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRJR Posted August 27, 2010 Share #80 Posted August 27, 2010 If you could choose one lens only, what would it be, regardless of price? It would be my Leica 50mm f/0.95 Noctilux-m lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
