Susie Posted July 23, 2022 Share #1201 Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) A couple of photos taken this morning in my garden: 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! And the second: As it was quite an extreme contra-jour shot I was concerned about the sun on the front of the lens . The first picture was taken with the standard hood, the second with the hood off my 20cm/4.5 Telyt, which has the same diameter. Quite a difference! Both taken with my 1938 Thambar at f/2.3, without the centre stop, on my M9. I think the background is a bit busy; I'm not a fan of dougnut rings!

Quite a difference! Indeed. The filter on mine was made by Malcolm Taylor from a Telyt 20cm filter. I think the hood is original. Do they look much different? Could you maybe post a picture of both hoods? This could be the start of a quest for me Edit: of course a search gave me the answer 🙄... do you mean the OTPLO?

Susie Posted July 23, 2022 Share #1204 Posted July 23, 2022 Hi Ian, OTPLO is the 20cm f/4.5 Telyt, but the hood on its own is TNGOO! TNGOO IS 60mm long with a clamp screw, as opposed to the 32mm of the Thamba's SHADE which is push on (no clamp). The diameters are the same. The longer hood does not cut off any of the image.

c.herzog Posted November 21, 2022 Share #1208 Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Hi, I am new to this chat. I carefully read all your comments before finally buying one of - if not the - last „new“ Thambar 3 weeks ago directly from the Leica store in Wetzlar. Great pics posted here so far. I particularly liked the look of ianmans images. After one week with only this lense at the beginning of November in nothern Italy I beginn to understand the magic you are able to create with it. I also fully understand the criticism about bluryness, as 90% of my images in fact came out more or less blurred. There was also a certain „David Hamilton effect“ to many photos, that in my eyes quickly turned into „ kitsch“. However, it‘ s the 10% images left that came out with a certain magic that lies somewhere between Impressionism, pointillism and romanticism. You can easily create those effect with strong front light and small deep colored structures such as flowers, leafs etc. I will post some „ Liebermann-like“ images as soon as I found out how to decrease the size to < 1MB. All shot with a M10R, by using only (!!) the viewfinder and at an aperture between 2.4 and 3.6. Certainly all without central spot - or any other - filter. In my eyes the Thambar is - without filter - a wonderfull nature-portrait-lense. Edited November 21, 2022 by c.herzog Schreibfehler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
