tashley Posted April 22, 2007 Share #1  Posted April 22, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) There have been so many questions from people wanting to choose lenses that I thought, now my bag is more or less set, I would take the same scene at every focal length I own so people who are still choosing can get an idea of how the FOV changes.  Tripod, every lens at F4, and focussed as per my Rangefinder rather than as per how best to focus each lens. Which means that I have a much sharper version of the 28 cron shot (mine focusses past infinity but if I pull the focus forward, it turns in gorgeous results).  All current firmware with appropriate lens detection options selected.  First, 90mm F4 Macro Elmar (Uncoded but new, B+W filter) [ATTACH]34593[/ATTACH]  Now 50 Lux (coded, B+W filter) [ATTACH]34594[/ATTACH]  Now 35 Cron (coded, B+W filter) [ATTACH]34595[/ATTACH]  Now 28 Cron (coded, Leica filter) [ATTACH]34596[/ATTACH]  Now three from the WATE, coded but unfiltered, at 21mm then 18mm then 16mm: [ATTACH]34599[/ATTACH]  [ATTACH]34600[/ATTACH]  [ATTACH]34601[/ATTACH]  Now I'll post some 100% crops from the centre of the frames  Hope this is useful to someone! I had an interesting time anyway and when I reviewed the shots afterwards I found that for this scene, the 28 cron shot in which I pulled the focus closer was my favourite - it draws beautifully and the colours seemed great.  Best  Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marknorton Posted April 22, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted April 22, 2007 Interesting, huge difference in the colour rendition of the unfiltered WATE. Look at that chlorophyll and not an ounce of black artificial fabric in sight. Just shows that for colour use, IR filters are required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tashley Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share #4 Â Posted April 22, 2007 And now the 28 cron with focus pulled forward, rather compressed so as to show it a bit larger, but this one had the nicest drawing I thought: Â [ATTACH]34612[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â On the crops, I would have liked to have seen the same area presented in all the crops in order to see the comparison of the detail - (yes I know that there would be no detail in the widest lenses!)

tashley Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share #7  Posted April 22, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Very useful information and what a beautiful shot from the 28! On the crops, I would have liked to have seen the same area presented in all the crops in order to see the comparison of the detail - (yes I know that there would be no detail in the widest lenses!)   Thank you! The 28 shot is not art, really, that wasn't the point of the exercise, but it does look very satisfying at 100% to zoom around all the detail on screen and the way it handles contrast in this subtle mix of sharp and soft light is really nice.  Sorry not to have done the crops the other way but as you say, it isn't an 'apples to apples' comparison.  Best  Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gduveen Posted April 23, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted April 23, 2007 [ATTACH]34667[/ATTACH] Â Its certainly been bluebell time in England this weekend -this is with a coded Noctilux at about f4 and 1/16, handheld, and with a B+W filter. Â Gerard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gduveen Posted April 23, 2007 Share #10 Â Posted April 23, 2007 Mine is in Waresley Wood near Cambridge -the flowers are the same but the trees are a bit different -a lot of silver birch in Waresley. Â And I forgot to add that it was very good to see the comaprisons across this range of lenses. Â Gerard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
