JeffoJeffo Posted November 25, 2012 Share #525 Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) So you adapt a movie lens for a still camera? Will it work on a m or only the s? This one is good for s2, for M I mostly use the 40-50mm range. However there r few old lenses at 75mm n 90mm that can use on M.

Keith (M) Posted November 25, 2012 Share #526 Posted November 25, 2012 I bought a 1957 Elmar 9cm f4 LTM from a well-known Wien dealer, primarily for my IIIg. However, I then spotted a LTM to M bayonet adaptor and more out of curiosity than anything else, I bought it so as to be able to try the lens on my M9. I had no preconceptions as to what the result might be like, but pictures speak louder than words. Below is a hand-held full frame .dng shot, converted by LR4 to a 950px wide .jpg with standard sharpening for screen and nothing else, plus a crop of a very small central area given the same treatment. It just astonished me... Welcome, dear visitor!

menos I M6 Posted November 27, 2012 Share #529 Posted November 27, 2012 I usually delete my lens test shots after remounting adapters or checking focus accuracy, but this shot with early Nippon Kogaku Nikkor-S.C 5cm ƒ1.4 LTM on Mono I want to share - this is wide open, early 1950's - who would ever prefer in their good mind a modern Summilux ASPH over THIS look ? Nikkor-S.C 5cm f1.4 - bokeh by teknopunk.com, on Flickr Nikkor-S.C 5cm f1.4 - bokeh - crop by teknopunk.com, on Flickr This is the lens, that made Nikon famous to the world - their "break through product" - I can certainly understand this, looking back at this lens more than 50 years later. Leica didn't come up with a lens, technically bettering this old Nikon lens until the invention of the Leica 50 Summilux ASPH - the former pre ASPH Summilux was barely adequate to the much older Nikon Sonnar design (not to speak of the fact, that until today none of Leica's super fast rangefinder lenses focus as close as the 1950's Nikkor I really, really wish, Nikon would run a re-issue of this AND the spectacular Millennium Nikkor in LTM or even Leica M mount, both with revised ergonomics (direction of focus and aperture controls in Leica fashion)! 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted November 27, 2012 Share #534 Posted November 27, 2012 Dirk, thanks for posting images with this lens. I'm very impressed. How did you meter the below shot? I find it rather amazing exposure-wise. Simply sublime! This Nikkor, is it the one that was optimised for short distance photography wide open (see Dante Stella)? Cheers Philip … and this is, how the Nikkor-S.C 5cm ƒ1.4 handles contrasts (dark night + very bright LED facade light - no highlight was blown in this shot - this is, how the Nikkor looks out of the Mono with very minimal tweaks via my import profile !): portrait - Nikkor-S.C 5cm f1.4 - contrast handling by teknopunk.com, on Flickr 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
menos I M6 Posted November 27, 2012 Share #535 Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks Philip - yes, it is the 50/1.4 Nikkor, Dante refers to in his article. This Nikkor is one of the lenses, somebody would have to rip from my dead cold hands … In contrasty light, I usually meter on my hand and compensate, depending, what look I want. I find though, that the M Mono tends to underexpose a bit, directly compared to other digital cameras I use - I have a +1/3 stop exposure compensation in my MM Lightroom import profile. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith (M) Posted November 29, 2012 Share #537 Posted November 29, 2012 Does an Elmarit-M 90mm f2.8 (11807) manufactured in 2000 count as 'older glass'? Well, one arrived this morning, (looking as though it has never been fitted to a camera), the sun was shining this afternoon, so time to put it to test on my M9. As can be seen, the cropped images are from quite small areas in central positions. Are the results typical of what this lens on an M9 should produce? All hand-held. No. 1. Full frame shot of tree/open countryside. No. 2. Crop of distant tree (some chromic aberration?) No. 3. Full frame Lydiard Hall No. 4. Crop of Hall No. 5. Full frame Garden Gate I had expected from what I have read to perhaps find focussing the 90mm, but in the main I had no problems albeit the light was good. One observation I will make about the lens is that there is a very slight axial ‘play’ in the aperture ring i.e. it can be moved very slightly backwards and forwards. This is not something I have experienced with any of my other Leica (or Zeiss) lenses. Does anyone know if other Elmarit-M 90mm lenses are similar in this respect? Welcome, dear visitor!

Well, one arrived this morning, (looking as though it has never been fitted to a camera)... Ahem... TWELVE years old is not "old", or "older". It's BARELY old enough. She's not even a TEEN-AGER for God's sake. That type of thinking can (and will) get you in trouble. I consider 35 years plus to be OLDER. Just my opinion, and an attempt at humor.

Well, Keith, the definition in the original post is that it's "... not the current model ... " but since the 90 Elmarit-M isn't in production any more and since it's an 'older' non-aspherical design I think it just qualifies. Pete. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
