Advertisement Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Hi k-hawinkler, Take a look here New meets old (LTM lenses, NEXC3). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Benzaini Posted September 12, 2011 Share #22 Posted September 12, 2011 Thx for sharing. Very nice shots. Like it. Looking forward to nex7 with leica lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted September 12, 2011 Share #23 Posted September 12, 2011 Surely the sensor of M7 does pose some issues... Oh man, did I mess up! I meant the M9. Silly me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
echorec Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share #24 Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks Gunnar, both interesting... and... update your avatar, so we both have delicious daughters on the Net, taken with an old Elmar 9... I was this mornong in a shop with a Nex C3 on the shelf... ... but prefer to wait for the "first flood" of Nex 7 pics-with-Leitz-lenses, which someday surely will appear... Hi Luigi, maybe I should change the avatar but I like the old one too, shot with a vintage Leica as well but maybe not the 9cm Elmar... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted September 14, 2011 Share #26 Posted September 14, 2011 Summilux pic is very intriguing !!! Original and tasty OOF in backgrounds...do you remember the f/stop used ? The 50=75 on APS is one of the reasons of my interest for Nex... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted September 14, 2011 Share #27 Posted September 14, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) The red in the Summaron-M 35/2.8 photo shows the same problem I struggle with in a 75mm Summilux on an M7. Way over saturated. Blown away. Sensor issues. On my screen, the red looks very natural, not oversaturated at all, rather somewhat undersaturated, and I tend to get the same results with that lens on film, too.

luigi bertolotti Posted September 14, 2011 Share #29 Posted September 14, 2011 Hello Luigi, I do remember the f-stop, right between 1.4 and 2. Regards, I compliment myself (I swear I thought "no... is not f1,4... but I'd say neither is f2..") ... well, if happens that for Christmas I present myself a Nex I'll say the dealer "ok, you are surely a good salesman, but tell Sony that the REAL salesman in this specific case was a Swedish one..."

DavidStone Posted September 19, 2011 Share #33 Posted September 19, 2011 Apart from the interest here in the use of our older Leica lenses on a small digital body with very good image quality, there's a corresponding interest among NEX owners in the use of these same lenses on the three second-generation NEX bodies. But there's something that has, to my knowledge, not been mentioned anywhere: Using a lens with manual focus and diaphragm, is it necessary to focus at full aperture, for maximum accuracy, and then stop down? This would slow things down considerably. Otherwise, the combination of new body/old lens looks very interesting. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted September 19, 2011 Share #34 Posted September 19, 2011 According to Gunnar, opening wide the lens is not an absolute need... LCD illumination compensates for light loss due to stopping down: obviously, to a certain extent... but the more you close, the less critical is a nailed focusing.

LCD illumination compensates for light loss due to stopping down: obviously, to a certain extent... but the more you close, the less critical is a nailed focusing. That's exactly my point, Luigi. The camera compensates for the lowered illumination, but focusing at f/8 (or whatever is chosen) can be difficult. Maybe Gunnar can tell us what technique he has adopted?

LCD illumination compensates for light loss due to stopping down: obviously, to a certain extent... but the more you close, the less critical is a nailed focusing. Yes, because of increased depth of field and focus, the effect is very visible on my G1, much more accurate at full aperture. Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David This shouldn't be such an issue, NEX kit zoom lenses are slow f5.6 so if you want to use fast M or R lens there are number of f stops to choose from 1 - 1.4 - 2 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6. Works well with R lenses on DSLR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
