flipsa00 Posted May 16, 2020 Share #747 Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Many of the previous images have that biting sharpness and rapid focus falloff. I fear those characteristics are missing from my copy. I am worried that either my 50 APO needs calibration or I am just blind to my own images. What do you guys think of the below (all shot on an M10)? I'm not sure if the other images are making adjustments to sharpness in LR, but I am not. Yes, these are sharp, but I feel they lack that "pop" or medium format look that a lot of people describe the 50 APO by. Welcome, dear visitor!

Welcome to the forum Tough to judge sharpness over this resolution Are you shooting with the OVF? If you have an EVF, just check for focus consistency. Maybe you're missing focus due to the RF being off, or the lens is misfocusing. My first copy had severe front focus issues, I took it to Wetzlar and they fixed it. I do notice significant green fringing which is unusual: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Thanks for the warm welcome, Hari! Yikes that this green fringing is unusual. And I saw your crop of the gentleman on the bike, too. 😫 Is this type of fringing a symptom of an out of alignment lens? This would be my first experience with sending something to Leica for repair. I dropped my Summilux-FLE 35 in Amsterdam around December 2019, and I need to send that in for repair too (focus ring is totally stuck and therefore unusable. Was going to send it back in March, but I didn't want to send it while Germany was in the midst of their COVID-19 crisis). I've heard terrible things about the NJ facility, and even the Leica Store SF rep understood why I wanted to send the lens to Wetzlar rather than NJ. ... And now I am wondering if maybe this specific photo was taken with my 35... I looked at my images, and I did have my 35 Lux with me at the time. And it has happened before that I had the camera on manual override for the lens profile, so maybe this was mistakenly marked as being shot with the 50 APO. I am not 100% sure, to be honest. I'll go through Lightroom and see if I can find more examples of fringing. Edited May 16, 2020 by flipsa00 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
