futura Posted July 7, 2014 Share #1 Â Posted July 7, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) So I've read a little about how the overall quality of the T compares to the M240 however I would be interested to know for portraits how does the T perform? does it render accurate skin tones?

Â Â Colour balance accuracy actually seems to be one of the T's strengths. It has required less colour balance tweaking than most camera's Ive used.

barjohn Posted July 8, 2014 Share #3 Â Posted July 8, 2014 I wish to second that impression. Color accuracy and excellent AWB are two of the camera's strengths. On one occasion with very tricky lighting I found I had to adjust WB, all other times it is spot on. Skin tones look natural and very good (I am only speaking of DNG files, not JPGs).

ynp Posted July 8, 2014 Share #4 Â Posted July 8, 2014 Caucasian skin tones look better with a little bit of an overexposure, in my very limited experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonoslack Posted July 8, 2014 Share #5 Â Posted July 8, 2014 I think the skin tones are excellent - in the jpgs as well as the RAW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted July 13, 2014 Share #6 Â Posted July 13, 2014 How does the Vario Elmar T perform as a portrait lens with AF? Is getting the focus on the right spot (usually the eyes) easy? Is AF fast enough? And can you get enough DOF control, given that it is a slow lens by M prime standards? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 14, 2014 Share #7 Â Posted July 14, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) The zoom works well for portraits with its 84mm (35mm equivalent) long end. Compresses facial features very nicely to make your subject look good. Â Bokeh is there - not like a faster prime, but it is pleasing and does create some subject separation nonetheless.
