Neil,

? so why not just go ahead and get one (or more) of everything M.....thus saving heaps of time & trouble, both for you in asking for advice that you don't really want or need and for those of us who routinely answer your fairly frequent requests for unneeded advice. Just a thought.

Haha.. no, seriously. What about performance wide open at portrait distance (e.g. 6ft/2m) ?

I took this picture in 2012 with an M9P and 90mm APO but sold both to finance something else.............I just ordered a new 90mm from the UK to get the 20% VAT Discount so like I said it is in the post...........I will let you know what its like at portrature when it arrives :)

Classic view and a modern classic lens.

 

All lenses need care focusing, it's just more noticeable with the longer focal lengths.

 

If you like landscapes and want to isolate part of the scene then both 90 and 135 are a good choice.

In a thread on landscape photography in the M(240) section, I wrote briefly of my intial experiences with the 135mm APO-Telyt and gave an example of how 'long-lens landscapes' gave me a new impetus. Also gave a link to some examples. So when you get bored with your 90mm Neil, you'll know what to try next. ;) I have found the 135mm APO-Telyt remarkably easy to use.

I never regretted buying the 135, and can easily walk around with it without feeling the lens is only good for few special occasions. Here are few sample shots which don't include distance landscape.

Hello Cheshire Cat,

 

Thank you for your replys.

 

In regard to focal length as per shutter speed: The maxim 1/shutter speed is meant to be a guide. It is based on sharpness as per circumstance as per using a normal lens.

 

It has been my experience that on the longer side of normal: The longer you get the more you need to increase your shutter speed reflective of this guide. I personally find that in my hand held photography I tend to need a shutter speed of 1/250 with a 135mm lens to equal the sharpness of the same picture taken from the same distance with a 90mm lens at a shutter speed of 1/125.

 

In the same vein the other way around: I have no problems with a 35mm lens hand held at a shutter speed of 1/8 sec.

 

As per depth of field:

 

At 1 : 2 or 1 : 1 the depth of field is pretty much the same regardless of lens. Perspective is what changes the most.

 

Photos taken @ medium apertures @ medium to longer distances reflect my statements above. Please note I said "more or less" which means dependent on circumstance.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Hello Again Everybody,

 

I think it is good that Neil & others ask a lot of questions. More questions are better. Don't forget: Nobody here is required to read them or to answer them. Furthermore many other people who have questions read this Forum but for whatever reason don't write here.

 

Look at the numbers of people reading as opposed to writing in this & other Threads. Why discourage anyone else from asking questioins?

 

Answering Neil's or anyone else's questions benefits others as well as Neil. There is no reason to discourage people who might write questions. Knowledge belongs to everyone. Including Neil.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Hello Jeff,

 

Yes, much of what people want to talk about or learn about is available in the search box.

 

Does that mean that no one is allowed to ask questions? Or that there is a set of criteria for asking questions?

 

What about people who, for whatever reason, can't find something? Why discourage them. Some people are just not that good at finding things. Why penalize them?

 

No one says anyone here has to read or answer anyone else's questions.

 

Sometimes what people are looking for is perspective to go along with information.

 

Sometimes they are simply looking for a friendly conversation about an enjoyable topic.

 

This Forum, like many Forums, is participated in for a variety of reasons.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael
