imnotaniceboy Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share #2 Posted June 3, 2007 if the aperture is in f16 with a R lens does the viewfinder gets darker? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted June 3, 2007 Share #3 Posted June 3, 2007 if the aperture is in f16 with a R lens does the viewfinder gets darker? Yes! I'll try to take a few photos tomorrow and post them here asap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
audidudi Posted June 3, 2007 Share #4 Posted June 3, 2007 Here are photos two of my favorite manual-focus lenses on my L1: The first is with a 45mm/f2.8 Contax Tessar and the second is with a Voigtlander 12mm/f5.6. In fact, it's turning out that, more often than not, whenever I do use this camera, one or the other of these lenses is mounted on it. For some reason, I rarely use the 14-50 zoom that came with it and whenever I need a focal length in between 12mm and 45mm, I tend to reach for my LC1 instead... Welcome, dear visitor!

audidudi Posted June 3, 2007 Share #5 Posted June 3, 2007 if the aperture is in f16 with a R lens does the viewfinder gets darker? Yes, the viewfinder gets darker because less light is reaching the sensor. However, if you're using the LCD instead of the viewfinder, it will automatically compensate for this and get brighter ... to a point. In my experience, though, once you reach the point where you're shooting at two seconds or longer @ f5.6 (i.e., EV 4 or less), the image on the LCD is dark enough as to effectively be invisible. This also means using the LCD to judge exposure can be misleading under some circumstances, something I learned the hard way... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imnotaniceboy Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted June 3, 2007 the 45mm/f2.8 Contax Tessa looks very nice on the L1. So sad the image get darker with closed apertures. What do you do? live view all the time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - the camera gets a completely different look with the new glass - do you have any pictures you've shot with them? It almost looks like the L1 can be a replacement for an M8 in a pinch...(heresy, I know) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
audidudi Posted June 3, 2007 Share #8 Posted June 3, 2007 So sad the image get darker with closed apertures. What do you do? live view all the time? In my case, Yes, I use Live View most of the time, but not because I have to but because I'm primarily a view-camera user and it's more like the ground-glass I prefer. As for the viewfinder getting dark when the lens is stopped down, this isn't usually a problem as I can't imagine using f16 any more often than very infrequently and in bright light, you can still compose quite easily at f8 and sometimes even f11...

audidudi Posted June 3, 2007 Share #9 Posted June 3, 2007 do you have any pictures you've shot with them? Unfortunately, I don't have any images shot with them stored on this computer, but here's a link to one I shot recently with the Voigtlander: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/architecture/25377-another-4800-n-scottsdale-road.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imnotaniceboy Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted June 3, 2007 do you imagen D manual focus lenses in the size of the contax 45mm? that will be super. and maybe a little bit smaller digilux 4. A least the size of the digilux 2. It will be like the m8 reflex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A least the size of the digilux 2. It will be like the m8 reflex. Don't forget that a 45mm lens on a D3/L1 is equivalent to 90mm on a 35mm format camera and 60mm on an M8; i.e., a bit longer than what most people find desirable. Personally, I like the 45mm on my L1 because it makes a great portrait lens but it's not one I would ever take shooting all by itself (which is why I also have the 12mm Voigtlander ... the two make for a great combo, IMO).

imnotaniceboy Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share #19 Posted June 4, 2007 audidudi, your L1 and your Voigtlander 12mm with a 24mm viewfinder and a Double Accessory Shoe just to have the viewfinder in the center will be a really nice idea. In that way youll see optical and clear at all apertures. almost botton page. For those of you how dont know what im talking about. http://www.cameraquest.com/voigtacc.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jeffery, What adapter are you using with the Voigtlander lens on your L1? I have 3 Voigtlander lenses and I'd love to use them on my L1..Where did you purchase it?
