ynp Posted March 1, 2019 Share #121 Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Does it mean there will be the 55/3,5 and hopefully lightweight? or it’s a Contax lens the well known Doctor uses?

After looking at some of his messages in other threads I think he's talking about the Contax 55. At any rate, the Thalia 55mm is t/2.8, which probably makes it an (odd) f/2.6. And it's huge. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZHNL Posted March 1, 2019 Share #124 Posted March 1, 2019 I also real like contax645’s 45mm and 140mm. Both very small and light with f2.8 aperture with nice rendering. Contax645 120APO is my bokeh king, but I think Leica 120APO match it mostly with faster speed and AF with slightly better flare performance. If Leica instroduce a small set of manual glass with decent speed, smaller size and high IQ, this for sure will give S new life for landscape and travel shooter who don’t need AF. S’s OVF is too good to not utilize that. I can always dream. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynp Posted March 1, 2019 Share #125 Posted March 1, 2019 I agree, the C645 45mm and 140mm are sweet lenses, although the Leica S lenses are better, and much more expensive. BTW I tested my C645 lenses with a Steelsring adapter (still waiting for a Fringer adapter) on my GFX50r and in my opinion there is only one camera system in existence which allows painless integration of the Contac 645 lenses, it’s the Leica S. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S’s OVF is too good to not utilize that. I can always dream. Would be enticing but, yes, just a dream for foreseeable future based on comments by Stephan Schulz. I’d settle for a similar path for native SL lenses. Jeff 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
