M10 plus Noctilux like having a brick around your neck


Recommended Posts

I use a Black Rapid shoulder strap, in fact oten the double one so carrying two cameras nicely balances the weight out. They are superb products. When wearing the double one (which uses a lightweight harness), if I put a jacket or coat on the camera(s) aren't seen by people I'm hunting (oops I mean snapping).

I've got the APO 90 about the since the day it arrived. Thus far I see no APO 50 sailing to my harbour. From what I've seen here and there and owning the APO Summicron 50 mkii, I find them two birds of a feather

My point is when you are using a Noctilux wide open you are going to get what you get.............once you start adjusting the aperture it is you who is defining what the background is going to be like............wide open you have no control over it. I have had two 0.95 Noctiluxs and they both rendered differently 

Neil

So you think factors like viewer/subject distance have no impact on background rendering? Not surprised, as you apparently don’t appreciate print viewing distance as it relates to perceived image quality either (separate thread).  I won’t even get into lighting influences.

I have an M10-P on order and have used my Noctilux 0.95 extensively on my M240, and it's quite heavy of course. I was wondering if the smaller size of the M10 wouldn't make it even more awkward since it's smaller size might not distribute the weight as well. Comments?

1/2 ounce lighter for the M10 is not likely to make a difference.

That was typo: in the second sentence I meant the 28

Now I'm going with the collapsible 50 Elmait-M (2.8).  Plenty of Boka... the rig fits in the pocket of a bush jacket and I love the results.   

The 50 Elmar-M is a stunning little lens. I got one as a lightweight lens to go alongside the APO 50 and Noctilux but I ended up using 90% of the time. Light, compact and renders so well on the digital Leicas.

DOF and OOF rendering should work for you, Neil. Bokeh of the APO is not as swirly as with the Noctilux and it doesn’t have the field curvature that makes some Noctilux shots look special. But the APO packs a lot of bang for its size and weight.

But that would be like driving a red porsche and buying a mini because it's smaller. I have got and love my Noctilux, I don't need something inferior just because its smaller. Like I mentioned the above APO samples are all Wow and very nice but IMOO not Noctilux nice.

‘Inferior’ because it doesn’t add or subtract anything from an image.

Exactly mate. Actually
