ibramr Posted February 6, 2023 Share #2068  Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) During the usual urban walk in Washington, DC yesterday, I stumbled luckily on a photo shoot in Union Station.  I took the permission for some shots, and this is one of them; the Noctilux f0.95 was set at full aperture.  The file is OOC.  Of course, resolution improves considerably when the shot is viewed on the light-box .

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! I'm not sure I agree! It's possible I bumped the aperture from 1.25 to 1.4 and didn't notice, but I've gotten similar bokeh wide open. See the shot below. Also, click through for hi-res and take a look at his shutter dial. The depth of field is extremely shallow. The 8 on the dial is in focus; the 30 and 60 are already very soft, and the rest of the dial isn't legible at all. What's the distance there?  3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the DOF is extremely shallow (but that's not really the point). I don't know the 75 Noctilux, but I assume that at f/1.25 the aperture blades are fully hidden so that the diaphragm forms a completely round shape? This shape is what appears in the "bokeh balls", and therefore you will immediately see whether the aperture is fully or only almost open. My intention was not to complain, just to be a little pedantic. 😉 Edited February 13, 2023 by evikne Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've been accidentally knocking the aperture to 1.4 here and there and not noticing.

It's very easy to test, you don't even have to take a picture. Just look into the front of the lens and see how the aperture blades move as you turn the aperture ring. When turned fully open, the aperture blades should disappear completely and the diaphragm (opening) becomes completely round.

I confirm, Ernst, that the diaphragm on my 75 Noctilux is perfectly circular at full aperture and the blades are completely hidden. Actually, by eyesight and without testing optically it looks circular at f/1.4 as well.

a5m Posted February 14, 2023 Share #2080 Â Posted February 14, 2023 I had a Noctilux where the aperture blades didn't fully retract at f/0.95. Leica NJ fixed it outside of warranty at no cost after I sent pictures to Bill the chief technician. Check to see that's not the case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
