mikemgb Posted November 4, 2016 Share #21 Posted November 4, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had a genuine Leitz adaptor once and sold it when I got rid of a Summicron lens, maybe a big mistake now I look at their prices. Cheers c Don't feel bad, I could give you a long list of equipment I now wish I had never sold. 12 years ago I bought my first DSLR and sold most of my film equipment. Now I am shooting film more than digital and trying to get some of that stuff back. Good luck with your tests, if you find the lens is out consistently it is possible you can work out by how much and just scale focus until you expand your lens collection.

jaapv Posted November 4, 2016 Share #22 Posted November 4, 2016 Yes the dial was set to A. I took about six frames of the outside shot in evening light and all of them ended up black like the one attached above. It was only after I went inside changed the shutter to 1/60, aperture to f2 and ISO to 600 that I got the cat on the bed image. I'm gonna put the black images down to me still thinking in film mode, and my lack of digital understanding: probably I had a setting that was beyond the sensor capability without realising it. The issue of focus is something I can test. My thinking at the moment is what mikemgb suggested, the lens and sensor scales are not matching. I've used film Leicas long enough to understand their focussing so I'm confident it's not me screwing up with that problem. The lens adaptor I'm using is a generic thing from China, I'll swap it for another generic one I have to see if that helps. I had a genuine Leitz adaptor once and sold it when I got rid of a Summicron lens, maybe a big mistake now I look at their prices. Cheers c Do yourself a favour and get a Voigtländer one...

colin_d Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share #23 Posted November 4, 2016 Errr, the back of a lens cap ? Quite likely - we've all done that... I've actually done this before as well, one of the traps with a rangefinder. What came to mind with this point though is this, would a digital sensor let you take a shot if it could not sense any light at all? I sort of wondered if it might realise there is nothing to be taken and warn you or stop you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
