Wonzo Posted February 11, 2019 Share #861 Posted February 11, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Almost the same scene, but this picture is stopped down to ca. f/9. First one fully open. With the CL, you have a 135mm lens. Thanks to the EVF, focusing ist very easy. Welcome, dear visitor!

I found easier to focus on M than SL, but that's only my experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is mainly because I can see what it does to the object in the EVF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew.saunders Posted February 26, 2019 Share #873 Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) On 2/7/2019 at 12:30 PM, Ando said: A long, long time ago, we photographed (above all) portraits with the Rodenstock Imagon lens on a Mamiya RB67. Camera Eccentric has many older scanned catalogs, including 3 on the Imagon. This one is the most informative, and has a list of many Imagons on the last page: http://www.cameraeccentric.com/html/info/imagon_2.html And this one has some color photos: http://www.cameraeccentric.com/html/info/rodenstock_1.html I have a fairly modern 250 H5.8 Imagon set complete with all the disks and the ND filter. It's in a modern Copal 3 shutter. The lens was made for decades, so can be found in many shutters, or without a shutter for medium format use. The 250 was designed for use with 4x5" or similar (10x15cm) film sizes but, of course, would work for smaller formats. Since it has a modern shutter with built-in diaphragm, I can stop down the aperture to help focus, but it's not designed to be used with a normal aperture. You use it wide open and put the strainer disks in front to get different effects. Wide open, it's very soft, and nearly impossible to focus. The disks are listed in "H" values, not "F" values, but they work about the same for how much light gets through. Each disk has a central hole, plus the sieve-like ring of smaller holes. You can control how open or closed those smaller holes are, so each disk has two H values: H5.8-7.7, H7.7-9.5 and H9.5-11.5. Some larger lenses don't come with a 5.8-7.7 disk. If you close all the smaller holes on the H5.8-7.7 disk, the exposure is as if you were at F/7.7 (or close enough to F/8, so I use F/8 for metering), but the look is different than if you use the 7.7-9.5 disk with all the holes open. Most people who share their images here list which disk and which setting they use: https://www.flickr.com/groups/imagon/pool/ I mostly use the 7.7-9.5 disk at the 7.7 setting. Here's a "mirror selfie" that I shot using the 9.5-11.5 disk open to 9.5: https://www.flickr.com/photos/drew_saunders/32152481794/in/album-72157640859360965/ If you want to play with a really soft focus lens, try one of these single element meniscus lenses: http://re-inventedphotoequip.com/Home.html I have the 190 f/3.3 which comes with waterhouse stops. Reinhold even makes one for the RB67. I've never used a Thambar. You can buy a whole lot of Imagons for the price of one Thambar! You could probably buy one of each Imagon focal length ever made if you spent enough time hunting them all down, for the price of a Thambar. If I won the lottery, I'd probably get a Thambar.

My question is are you using on M or SL or something else? I found easier to focus on M than SL, but that's only my experience. I switched back and forth between SL and M240. There are pluses and minuses for each. The rangefinder gives you a clear view, but focusing a 90mm wide open is challenging because of the shallow depth of focus. Possible, but challenging. OTOH, with the SL you are looking through the lens, with all the challenges that a fuzzy view with an unclear focus point offers! I usually prefer the SL in good light. I haven't posted here for a while because I've sold my M240, and my two M-L adapters are half way round the world (don't ask) and I won't get them back till the end of March 😞.

There are challenges on both, I use an M9-P or MM and find that I can hit focus nicely with the rangefinder, with the SL, the fuzzy image has hindered me, but more practice could help!

Arrow Posted February 28, 2019 Share #878 Posted February 28, 2019 M or SL are surely booth fine. In its period the LTM Thambar was meant to be used on a Leica II or III 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
