rickp13 Posted September 27, 2013 Share #24  Posted September 27, 2013 i've always liked (and referred to) this thread on the mandler lenses:  http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/customer-forum/45854-praise-mandler-lenses.html  i'll bet many of the subscribers have a few mandler designs in their camera bag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB007 Posted September 29, 2013 Share #26 Â Posted September 29, 2013 I admire people who use one camera one lens. However, it is not for me. Why limit myself when I have choices? Â When I was a teenager with limited resources, I used a Canon A-1 with a 50/1.4. I found out that the setup wasn't ideal. Now, almost 30 years later, I have different bodies with various lenses. Yes, I do have GAS. I had it under control for months now. But now I NEED to get a Leica R adaptor for M. Â Yes, most of the time I carry a one camera one lens but it depends. Sometimes I carry two bodies (film and/or digital) with 2 different focal lengths depending on what I feel I would need. But somehow I feel that I need a wider lens...I wished I had a SEM 21mm. Â The 80/1.4 is a beautiful lens and use it for portraits. I love the look when shot wide open - similar to the Leica 50/0.95 or the Nikkor Nocti 58/1.2. I do not have a Noct 50/1 so I cannot comment on that. Â Have fun but you might need a ND filter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted September 29, 2013 Share #27 Â Posted September 29, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) You can use the Novofkex coded R-M adapter for the 80/1.4 since its weight is not that much of an addition for the M with QR plate or even hand held.

Likaleica Posted October 11, 2013 Share #28  Posted October 11, 2013 I admire people who use one camera one lens. However, it is not for me. Why limit myself when I have choices?  It helps me get back to the basics - perspective, aperture, shutter speed, etc. It helps me concentrate on the image. I am currently doing a project of a specific subject with one camera, one lens. I like the images I am getting. Welcome, dear visitor!

Sometimes another body with another lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 38 Posted December 6, 2013 Share #30 Â Posted December 6, 2013 I have recently been away and I ended up using the Elmarit 60mm a lot while walking about towns. I found it could cope with architecture , places as well as stopping to photograph a small flower or similar . A great all rounder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted December 7, 2013 Share #31 Â Posted December 7, 2013 Last month I spent 5 days in Venice to finish off a European trip. At the start I set out to 'see' Venice only through a Noctilux 50/1.0. I wanted to vary what I saw using the extremes of that tool. 99% of my pics were with that lens, but I always carried my full kit because there is always something that does not fit a 'locked in' gear set up. I have since produced a book of that experience where the M9 + Noctilux rule, but I never 'blind' myself to alternatives. Some things just need a different treatment.

tobey bilek Posted December 7, 2013 Share #32 Â Posted December 7, 2013 A small 3 lens kit is liberating also, say a 35, 50,75 or 90. Â My 50 2.8 takes wonderful pics, nice bokeh, nice color, sharp but not too clinical. 50 1.4 is the same. Â A mid range zoom on a Nikon, but perhaps that is beyond scope of thread. 24.120 vr is great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
