HeinzX Posted August 4, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, yesterday I have got my Macro Elmar, there are my first attempts with this lens. The first of each pics was made with the macro adapter at minimum distance, the second is a crop out of the first. Between the two watches are app. 100 years. The first is a minute repetition watch of LeCoultre (1900), the second a watch made by IWC (arround 100 years later). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannes Lummes Posted August 5, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 5, 2011 Nice time pieces! Actual pixel crops would be very nice to have if illustration of lens quality is needed...and I would like to see what it is capable of producing in finest details.

Doc Henry Posted August 5, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 5, 2011 Heinz Congratulations for your Macro Elmar 90mm:) It looks very nice ! MacroElmar is that there is better to a practical point of view, light and not bulky, if you want to make macrophotography in M ,compared to the bellow http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/nature-wildlife/193798-chardon-flower-ladybug.html http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/nature-wildlife/194374-angelica-ladybugs.html Best Henry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzX Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Hello, thank you for your replies. As a matter of fact, these pics were just made as a test. Without tripod. For me the idea behind the Macro Elmar is to use it on trips as a normal 90 mm and for flowers etc. like the pics of Doc Henry. For pics like the shown by me I would normally use a much more sophisticated technical eqipment, i.e. 1 D IV - macro lens (ev. MP E), tripod, Castel Cross Q (Novoflex) and live view. But I am very confident that for the purpose mentioned before, this lens will supply excellent quality.

I like all M macroequipment because the countryside is very near my home and i like to photograph flowers or insects With my equipment's M macro, in my Billingham bag (and a light monopod in my backpack) , I ride on my "mountain bike" and i go throughout the country I love photos of plants taken in the wild nature With the bellows and tripod i can not take pictures like that Best Henry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington Posted August 11, 2011 Share #7 Posted August 11, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Like these watch pictures that folks are taking… as I said elsewhere the innards are an endless source of wonder for me. While looking at these nice shots (and watch) I got this nutty idea: ok, say the watch is running….. how long would a time exposure have to be to show the relative motion of the gears and parts by the blur created by their different movement?

pop Posted August 11, 2011 Share #8 Posted August 11, 2011 Not exactly to the same scale, but this does not influence the time needed for a nicely blurred exposure: 24 seconds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washington Posted August 11, 2011 Share #9 Posted August 11, 2011 Pop, Nice shot but what I envision is pictorially representing the rotational speeds of the assorted gears which rotate at different speeds which the amount of blur would represent. I have one idea how to do it but it will take some testing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iliahi Posted August 31, 2011 Share #10 Posted August 31, 2011 Those watch shots are very much upclose and well done! Did you encounter any framing problems due to parallax or inaccurate frame lines? If so to what extent did you make adjustments? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzX Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share #11 Posted September 1, 2011 Hello, as far as I remember I took the shots with the macro adapter and open aperture, i.e. 4.0. There were no problems to take it with parallax e.g. The Macro Elmar is a great lens, without and with the adapter, and I use it very often. In the macro field esp. for flowers etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
