Sunset Burghley Park, Stamford, Lincs.,16 Feb. 2016

 

Leica SL, 90mm APO Summicron M f2 ISO 200.  

 

Experiment with damaged 90mm Summicron lens which has a tiny chip on the front element - but which does not affect the image when used for contre-jour shots.

Rather extreme processing, it seems! Looks almost like a copper plate etching or something like that ... !

Congratulations!  Were the pictures taken using the spot filter?

 

Pete.

 

 

Yes, both wide open. Obviously that combination maximises the effect. Not exactly subtle. But I'm looking forward to learning how to (try to!) manage the level of the soft focus effect.

 

The magnification on the SL makes precise focusing so easy. I'm finding I'm not using focus peaking, just zoom.

Focus peaking is occasionally useful, but like you (and it seems most others I've talked to), when the novelty of it wears off, I mostly use magnification when I need it, and turn on peaking infrequently. Like yesterday: I had the 250+2x extender on the SL, camera on a tripod, and I found that peaking helped verify that I had the focus right because that lens combination will jiggle just a wee bit every time I touch the lens. With peaking on, I could see after the jiggle stopped that I'd hit the focus right on the money.

 

A useful tool.

very impressed ..... cleaned up a bit in LR it looks great .... probably even better from the dng .....   apologies if I've overdone it but I was curious as to how it would look with a bit of tweaking .....

From one that is not into the deep telephoto part of the world: Is this a FD-lens that you attach to the SL with a FD2R or FD2M adapter? Or is the lens modified? Just curious to learn how you do this/which adapter you use. Thanks...

Simplistically, what you need is an Canon FD to Leica T mount adapter. These are available pretty easily:

I'm using an FD-to-M adapter plus M-to-SL adapter.  It's not ideal because the small diameter of the M mount causes corner shading with long lenses.
