Advertisement Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Hi rainer_p, Take a look here I love my MP. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
martin Posted April 12, 2007 Share #202 Posted April 12, 2007 sorry martin but you see, even in a-mode one has to know how to estimate the right light (....here i go back on my school bank, learning) yes of course, with every camera you have to know what you do. Even with my wallbanger, an oldfashioned F5, you have to take the perfect spot to meter, it would be nice to meter a deep black road...he he :-). But I think if you take a camera without any kind of automatic you are tasked to know what you do in every situation of live. You may want to mary your girlfriend, so the 3D matrix of the F5 looks in her database a nd say: "yes it's ok", but asking your MP, she can not tell you anything, because there is no database to look in, so you may say: no, it's not yet the right moment and you can go on shooting all the beautifull girls in street.

rob_x2004 Posted April 13, 2007 Share #203 Posted April 13, 2007 ....i just meter wherever i like, memorize it and go back to the subject... All good and well, but, its the mix of things that counts. Who is to say that that perfect 'exposure' is going to yeild you the shutter speed you want or need with the f/stop you want or need. I guess in digital you just slide the iso about a bit. And those times you want to reduce the frame to black with a silhouette or an interesting subject or deal with curly lighting situations? By the time you think the auto exposure thing through you might just as well have set the thing for yourself. Anyway, dunno, only just working things out. But I lost an awful lot of frames to 'correct exposure' bull. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Morrison Posted April 20, 2007 Share #208 Posted April 20, 2007 Is the creative blurring intended to disguise the fact that it's an M6? Not to worry, they are all handsome though perhaps the M5 had a look only a mother could love. Photo number two is certainly an angle no one has thought of to this point.

earleygallery Posted April 21, 2007 Share #212 Posted April 21, 2007 Here's my MP, same camera no battery The 35mm Skopar arrived this morning, want to get out now and shoot a roll with it. I listened to Sean Reid who said he prefers this version. I use a 25mm Skopar on the lllf and it gives excellent results. I bought the M2 specifically to use with a 35 lens. The Summicron will have to wait unfortunately. Welcome, dear visitor!

It is a trifle soft but comes into it's own about f5.6. Yours, Robert Morrison, M4-P, etc. (you know, the other MP) Robert, I'm told it will give similar results to previous versions of the Summicron? The other options I had were a VC Ultron (much larger), Summaron f3.5 (wanted something faster) and Summaron 2.8 with goggles (didn't want goggles). I'd have preferred a chrome version but bid for this on e bay, and then of course saw a chrome one in a shop that I'd checked a few days before. I expected to get out bid and nearly ended up with both! These lenses are so compact and light, and very well made. For the price you can't go wrong. Its a shame that Voigtlander are discontinuing many of the screw thread lenses. I'm looking forward to seeing the results, hopefully I won't be disappointed!

R.Morrison Posted April 23, 2007 Share #220 Posted April 23, 2007 James: The VC 35 COLOR-SCOPAR is no dog and some day when I get a round tuit:D I'll post some pics to make my point. Please do the same. I like it better than the pancake version even though the pancake is an M mount. I have both but only use the pancake when I want to carry the camera in my pocket. What I like about most of the VC lenses is that they are no bigger than a shot glass and intrude minimally in the viewfinder. My favourite in this respect is the COLOR-SKOPAR 28 which is even shorter than the 25. It is a little slow at f3.5 maximum aperture but this in turn allows reasonable DOF and, using 1/15th sec. I've taken good night shots. I hope Voigtlaender, if they are going to discontinue these lenses, replace them with M mount lenses no larger than the screw-mount lenses. This is exactly what they did with the pancake lens, there being MK 1 and MK 2 versions. I use the VC lenses not so much for price considerations but because the ZM and certain of the Leica lenses are too large (generally faster though).
