sean_reid Posted September 6, 2007 Share #41 Posted September 6, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) But then again, when Leica comes out with a full frame M, I am almost certain some progressive advertising shooter will make good use of this very look. It could happen now, without full frame, and not just in advertising work. It could be any kind of work where the photographer wants a lens to draw like this. I agree with the spirit of your comment above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted September 7, 2007 Share #43 Posted September 7, 2007 Nothing wrong with the look. If you can dial it in when you want to use it then great. You dont have to be boring same same same all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted September 8, 2007 Share #44 Posted September 8, 2007 There have always been people who prefer unsharp ("soft") images, and have gone to the darnedest lengths to obtain them. The pre-aspherical 35mm Summilux seems destined to be a favourite. It simply cannot handle highlights when at 1.4–2.8. They go all fuzzy with coma (remarkably far in towards the optical axis) and spherical in general. One marked feature is the strong veiling glare which at times covers most of the frame, so that I was at a loss to find anything sharp at all. Common honest-to-God flare was also prominent. Now to my mind the easiest way of obtaining this kind of effects, or at least the more benign of them, is to use B+W Soft Focus or Soft Pro diffusers (the second is stronger). This way you can have fuzz when you want it, until you tire of it, which I bet you will. The old man of H.M.S. Resolution Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted September 8, 2007 Share #45 Posted September 8, 2007 A couple of old - 2000 - Pre-ASPH 35mm Summilux shots. I think the first was wide open, the second certainly was. This lens isn't as bad as some people make out. 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!

Paul Hart Posted September 8, 2007 Share #47 Posted September 8, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) A couple of old - 2000 - Pre-ASPH 35mm Summilux shots. I think the first was wide open, the second certainly was. Steve: that first shot looks for all the world like a little secondhand bookshop in Preston that I visit from time to time. Am I right?
