howardeisemann Posted July 13, 2007 Share #101 Posted July 13, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Steve L mentions "Not quite infinity" and to stop down 1 but stop down 2 at infinity. Just curious as to what constitutes "not quite Infinity" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

norm_snyder Posted July 14, 2007 Share #102 Posted July 14, 2007 Sean-- I find that I ended up having done something similar to the suggestions you've made about these 35's: Indoor lens- 35mm f1.2 Nokton [used mostly between f1.2 and 4]; Outdoor lens-35mm f2 v.4 Summicron [still used at larger apertures a lot]. They seem to complement one another well and, to my eye, give a similar look at middle apertures. I would simply leave the Nokton on more of the time if it wasn't such a beast. I agree that the lightness of the f2 lens, combined with no finder obstruction works for most shooting. Userful, readable, thorough review of real-world qualities and usability. Thanks Cheers, Norm Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Cheers, Norm Thanks very much Norm. I just need to finish the OOF sections and some more illustrations and it will be all done. I imagine many people might use the 35/1.2 as an all-around lens if it were lighter and more compact. Cheers, Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Sean Perhaps all you need to do is to go around for a week using the Noctilux on the M8, like I have been doing and the 35/1.2 will seem light and compact. If ever Deutsche Post find where they have lost mine, I will let you know. Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
