The first one was taken with the Zeiss Otus

Well I prefer the zeiss images, but I think the notcilux excels better when the subject is further from the camera - only the farside eye of your wife is in focus, leaving a massive area of her head out of focus and distracting - the zeiss dof composition, lighting and pose is much nicer.

Excellent! Nice new toys for Christmas! Can you please do a wide open comparison between your Noctilux and the 70mm Summarit on your S at some stage? Pretty please?

 

Will do mate............I will be back in the UK next week and taking S and SL . I plan to take a bunch of pictures of my newly born grandson :) :)

May I ask which mount your Otus is equipped with? In a different thread we have some discussions regarding lack of compatibility with the Otus, Canon EOS mount and  Novoflex adapter.

The ZE mount Otus works with the Novoflex adapter. All Zeiss lenses make an unnerving short-lived buzzing sound when the camera is switched on, which is the aperture stopping down. This behavior is identical on the 55 Otus, 85 Milvus, 21 ZE, 35/1.4 ZE, 50 Makro ZE, 100 Makro ZE, and 135/2 ZE, all of which I've tested personally. EXIF data identify the adapted lens as a Voigtlander Ultron 40 mm Aspherical, but the correct focal length is included, and the correct Lens profile can be automatically applied in Lightroom. I've had no lens problems despite many hundreds of shots with 100 Makro and 85 Milvus.

Many thanks. I tested out for the first time today and like you I experienced the brief stopping down and opening of the aperture. This did not concern me. However, there is a slight delay in shutter release compared to a native SL lens. I can live with this as well - others cannot, it seems.

 

I have the 2/135 in Nikon Mount and there is no stopping down or delay. My Nikon adapter is not the most recent autofocus version.

2/. ISO 50 1/80 f3.5

3/. ISO 50 1/3200 f0.95

With the Otus you don't get the f stop data

Nice works.

#1 & 2 was shot at what aperture?

I noticed the colours are different, was it straight our of camera or tweak in PP?

Personally i prefer the "flarer" looking Noctilux.

They were both PP the same way

Thank you Neil. By the way, you don't get accurate f/stop datas with any M lens either. The camera just estimates. I asked hoping you wrote them down :D

I noticed that too. Many a time I will be shooting wide open and it will say f2 and also at f8 its showing f4 or something like that :) :)

This is the one thing that I don't like about the SL thus far; such a pain in the @ss.   You'd think this would be something easily solved, not sure why the camera can't just read the actual aperture used.
