dkmoore Posted August 23, 2019 Share #913 Posted August 23, 2019 I’ve been thinking about buying the Thambar to experiment. Am I understanding correctly that all photos taken with the Thambar new version will have the halo affect/everything sort of blurry? i like the results Milan got with the old version much better then the ultra blurry shots I see from the latest copy. Is that simply stopping down aperture or is the newer version unable to snap out of the blur? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
0luke1 Posted August 23, 2019 Share #914 Posted August 23, 2019 Without the spot focus filter and stopped down, it’s sharp, with (IMO) an old-school color rendering. From the Leica website: “The Thambar’s distinctive, dreamily romantic look and unmistakeable bokeh are created by deliberately under-corrected spherical aberrations, along with a 20-bladed aperture for the circular rendition of out-of-focus highlights. Because the aberration increases towards the periphery of the optical system, both the extension of the depth of field and the degree of diffusion can be precisely controlled via the step-less aperture ring. Widening the aperture increases the soft focus, whereas stopping down reduces the effect. The opaque area at the center of the included soft focus spot filter prevents the axial rays, which generate sharp focus, from reaching the sensor – resulting in an even more intense soft focus appearance.” https://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/M-Lenses/Thambar-M-90-f-2.2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that simply stopping down aperture or is the newer version unable to snap out of the blur? The Thambar-M is ballistic hardware! In their promotional, Leica was considering giving free tattoos—“Don’t Look Back”— with each lens. Bob Dylan’s people, though, got into the act and gave pushback. I am experimenting and using it to emphasize grain, and getting in almost impressionistic Seurat effect with ADOX Color Implosion, unfortunately no longer available and hard to find.

So it is a reasonable assumption that Milan's shot if made with the latest version: 1. is either wide open without filter 2. or with filter but stopped way down. And last assumption: 3. Most of the shots posted with the newer version here are shot w/the filter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
0luke1 Posted August 23, 2019 Share #917 Posted August 23, 2019 Probably with the filter, f2.2-2.6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that simply stopping down aperture or is the newer version unable to snap out of the blur? I have to say that when I got mine, I tested an LTM version and the M version. At the time, I preferred the rendering of the LTM, as it seemed the effect was slightly less present and bought that one. Of course these were my first steps with the Thambar and it's not an easy lens to master, so my "tests" cannot be considered as conclusive in anyway. At equivalent aperture, the effect will be more pronounced with the filter on. BUT attaching the filter limits the light intake and there are two aperture scales on the lens. One in red for with the filter attached, the other in white for when the filter is not present. The scale on mine is a bit strange as it doesn't show "equivalents" I've seen on other Thambars. Mine only show f/2,3 red (so with filter attached) is equivalent to f/2,2 white (no filter). As I mentioned in the previous post, you won't want to use the filter beyond f/6,3 as it will become visible in the photograph. So with LTM or M mount, stopping down will decrease the effect and when closed down enough it will become a very good and sharp (ok, not an APO-Summicron) standard 90mm lens. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
