Hi everyone. I recently picked up a Thambar and have been experimenting quite a bit lately. Yesterday I ran into the issue of needing an ND to shoot landscapes wide open in full sun. Just wondering if anyone has used a 49-46mm step down ring successfully on the Thambar without any vignetting. I've got a B+W I'd like to use if I can.

If anyone is interested in seeing more samples, I have put together a quick gallery of the images I've taken over the last two weeks on my website.

Hm, try it. If it does vignet .... use it to your advantage :)

I love photography because it’s hunting without violence. You bag a moment in time. To some, it needs to be recorded in ASPH clarity. To others, in thambar romantic mystery (Arrow’s horse is magnificent). IMO, neither perspective is wrong, but they are, by their nature, mutually exclusive. 

I came close to selling my 35mm 1.4 ASPH Summilux to help fund a Noctilux 50mm 1.0, but the clarity and utility of the 35 is necessary to bag certain moments for me. So it stays in the SKB roller case my GAS requires. And I play with it all, just delighting in the mechanical perfection. But the thambar, in its leather case, is my favorite, next the 75mm Summilux. When I croak, somebody’s getting a good deal.

Dear Arrow, what makes it difficult for me to grow some admiration for that lens is typically your picture as an example. There is simply nothing sharp on it and it is still shown here 😩

Güezi wohl Alex,

the point of this lens is the low contrast, unsharp, glowy rendering capacity, when needed. Think about Heinrich Kühn and pictorialist photo aesthetics and the atmospheric quality such a lens can achieve. Kühn used a large format camera and a prototype of the Rodenstock Imagon. If you are going after such a look, the Thambar does provide that in a way smaller package on a modern camera. Simply switch your surgical 90 APO ASPH something for the Thambar and have fun taking pictures you take for no particular purpose, other than playful joy or different aesthetic goals. 

Like for Oluke1, it is my favourite lens :)

Thank you for your comment ... I will tell her (horse) :)

"Romantic mystery" is characterising the Thambar style very well!
