Timkr Posted January 13, 2019 Share #2 Posted January 13, 2019 It’s a much under appreciated lens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted January 13, 2019 I have always liked the 24mm which I shot quite often in my film days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko.Fe. Posted January 14, 2019 Share #6 Posted January 14, 2019 Since OP choose to post it here, instead of https://www.l-camera-forum.com/forum/8-people/ Any wide lens will make it disproportional. On this picture it is one shoulder, hand and another shoulder, hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 14, 2019 Share #7 Posted January 14, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Difficult to use wides for portraits. Worse problems are oblong skulls, big noses and bulging eyes though. The OP's model escaped this dreaded fate fortunately. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photograph is really beautifull. I would not have assumed that it was taken with 24mm. I would have taken 35mm at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted January 14, 2019 The 24mm is not a portrait lens for obvious reasons. This wasn’t a portrait session, but a casual snap of my wife with a lens and viewfinder I just acquired. With a bit of care with framing the distortion can be controlled to a certain degree and a decent people-shot can be made. At least to me it’s decent and exceeded my expectations for a pretty wide angle lens. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted January 14, 2019 Share #10 Posted January 14, 2019 Every Leica owner should have a copy of this lens in their bag. Mine is pretty much always on my M240. This is a very nice shot indeed. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted January 14, 2019 Thank you Andy. So far I’ve not found anything not to like about the lens. Crazy sharp, draws beautifully, and I really like the focal length as the 24mm was a fav back in my film days. I guess I could gripe about using an external viewfinder but I can shoot it reasonably well without one. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted January 14, 2019 Share #12 Posted January 14, 2019 I usually just wing it with the whole of the viewfinder frame, but use Live View when necessary. I do have an external viewfinder of 24mm, but it's a PITA focusing with one viewfinder and composing with another. I don't have the EVF.

Sam Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share #13 Posted January 14, 2019 I have an EVF and Voigtlander viewfinder. The EVF is a last resort because of the lag when you shoot. The Voigtlander is quite crisp and looks really cool on the camera, but with practice winging it seems quite effective Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 14, 2019 Share #14 Posted January 14, 2019 Very nice. F-chord fingering with a kapo, making it F-sharp Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

becker Posted January 21, 2019 Share #16 Posted January 21, 2019 Isnt a barred E shape chord, which she does, it seems, in the 2. fred not always a F sharp, with or without kapo ? the kapo is fixed the first fred 😉 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 22, 2019 Share #17 Posted January 22, 2019 Becker - The F chord is basically a barred E chord. Assuming the guitar is at concert pitch, fingering an F chord with a kapo on the first fret will make the resulting chord sound like an F# chord Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
