F.Juul Posted June 6, 2014 Share #2062 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Phew, it's difficult to figure out how to do. Here's a backlight picture taken with a Tele Elmarit 90 mm 2.8 on a M9-P. Funny effect which is straight from the camera. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

menos I M6 Posted June 7, 2014 Share #2064 Posted June 7, 2014 Welcome hydet and F.Juul to the probably most interesting thread to follow on this forum! Hydet, please share more from this rare lens, and may I suggest even though this is of course very personal and to ones very own taste, to scale back a little bit on the clarity/ contrast on processing images from the classic Sonnar lenses? These are lenses which render especially backgrounds unbelievably smooth and this can be easily "ruined" by a few clicks in post processing. F.Juul - beautiful photograph, especially with the backlight! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernst_leitz Posted June 10, 2014 Share #2072 Posted June 10, 2014 Yesterday I played a little with my M8 and an IR filter on SOOIC (2/50 screw Summicron).

Ecar Posted June 15, 2014 Share #2076 Posted June 15, 2014 Jean-Marc, The authority for all-things-Canon-rangefinder-lenses is Peter Kitchingman, who's also active on RFF. He has compiled an impressive database of Canon lenses and their numerous versions, This is summarised in a beautiful self-published book titled "Canon M39 Rangefinder Lenses 1939-71", which he sells on eBay under username "7sz". He had only a a relatively small run printed, but I just checked and he seems to have a few copies available. He also used to make this info freely available on the web (http://www.canonrangefinder.com), but the site has been down for several months now - due to hosting issues, I understand. Hope this helps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
