fil-m Posted December 6, 2022 Share #1223 Posted December 6, 2022 M11 Thambar-M @2.2 (no filter) It is a tough lens to master & it produces challenging digital files but a most interesting experience! First few shots, with my patient little daughter accepting to "pose" just before dinner. She was the only one to show some compassion to her dad letting him test the Thambar on a real subject despite the empty-after-school stomach ! So nice to have this "continuous aperture" without clicks, producing a "perfect circle" when stopped down Welcome, dear visitor!

fil-m Posted December 19, 2022 Share #1230 Posted December 19, 2022 11 hours ago, cheezytomatos said: how do you know if your thambar has a focusing problem The Thambar is associated to so many jokes, I appreciate the "experience" that this lens brings either to its fans or detractors It is really a "specialty" lens. As I generally prefer sharp ASPH/APO lens, the Thambar pushes me to the opposite extreme and I find that contradictory and funny! Yet when closed down (starting f6) the Thambar starts to progressively behave like a normal telephoto and its rendering is similar to most "normal" classic lens - though surely not an APO, it is still an almost 90 years old design if I am not mistaken Surely it is soft focus wide open, but I still easily identify the correctly focused pictures that I take and those which are not. In fact it is more the excessive glow, haze, "light bleeding" that characterise this lens. An example to illustrate what I am saying: Taken at f2-f3, we see the light bleeding but I guess there is still focus looking at the grass Welcome, dear visitor!

Closed down, probably between f5-f6 it behaves more "normally": Stopping down even more, will increase sharpness 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Closed down, probably between f5-f6 it behaves more "normally": Stopping down even more, will increase sharpness I agree. Wonderful images, that prove the point, very well. My Thambar-M behaves well, as a classic/vintage 90mm, stopped-down. I would not have spent the money for a lens that could only be a special-effect lens. (I bought my Thambar-M pre-owned, for much less than the new price, but even so, it was not an easy financial decision to make.) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirubadanieru Posted February 6, 2023 Share #1237 Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) I got to compare an original Thambar in great condition with the remake. Sharing my shots below, nothing scientific, but I tried to shoot the same scene with both lenses. To be honest, I can’t tell them apart so Leica did such a great job with the remake. Remake on top, Original on bottom. 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!
