I have had no problem to focus with this lens so far but i don't pixel peep that much. Here handheld at f/11, 1/70s, zone focus following DoF markings of the lens. I could get pretty similar results with any modern Leica lens i suspect, unless using a tripod perhaps.

The comment was in response to B-A-C, not you. It was only a joke in the sense that of course there is no such thing as a film monitor. Screen shots don't mean much to me in any event, let alone given additional intervening variables involving scanning film for online presentation. One needs to look at prints, not screen shots IMO….and for film, those are best done with chemicals (I was thinking more b/w than color, but same principle applies). YMMV.

Good, I was hoping you were joking. Even in small screen shots you can definitely tell a difference between film and digital, but you are right, probably not enough to appreciate the subtleties of the 50 Apo. I talked to someone who had shot the 50 Apo with film who said that the quality is visible even with film. I have my doubts about this. First of all, film is much more forgiving with regard to chromatic aberration, second, with possibly a few exceptions, it lacks the ability to resolve the fine micro-contrast that the Leica M Monochrom can resolve. In my opinion, considering how small the difference between the 50 Apo is to the 50 lux aspherical, I would definitely opt for the extra stop for shooting film.

Do you own a film monitor?

Do please correct me if I'm wrong (and I know you will) but I guess that the amusing and slightly cynical (maybe even a tad sarcastic) remarks of Jeff S are meant to be enjoyed....not taken seriously.

I have no idea what it is but it just doesn't look right where the left side of the picture looks okay but the right hand side looks weird..............its also spilling over onto the left hand side.

Any ideas what it is?

Samples with a Monochrom from last week below (limited to 1024), pop by www.sortvitt.com if you want better res.

I have the lens on loan and am impressed by the ease of use, sharpness and light weight. Seems like a fantastic allround lens, a lot of fun to shoot with.

Fantastic shots sir
