Thank you very much for the DNGs you send. They are really nice photos and its possible to look at the files. My conclusion or impression is that the extraction caused by the 2.0 aperture is more extreme and special compared to the 120mm @ 2.5 aperture... In the end I guess the 100mm is more usable for portraiture than the 120mm and is a bit more special than the 70mm, which is also a great lens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted February 22, 2020 Share #126 Â Posted February 22, 2020 This thread is dangerous, to my wallet. My local dealer has a 007+S2P kit, with 5 lenses, the 120mm being part of this kit. Evidently it has been there too long so it is getting a decent kit price special. OMG, watch this space. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geetee1972 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share #129  Posted March 2, 2020 It is with a heavy heart that I am sadly going to have to let go of my copy of the S-100mm. I am in the process of divorcing and the reality is that my costs for the process have just spiked and I need to raise some cash. Jan1985 has first refusal but if he decides he doesn't want it I can sell it to anyone else who is interested. The lens has had the AF motor replaced and has five month's warranty left from the retailer I purchased it from. I'm looking for £3000/€3500, which will inlude postage.

Jan1985 Posted March 3, 2020 Share #131  Posted March 3, 2020 I just made a comparison shot between 100mm and 120mm. As you must minimize resolution its just a small hint to really see differences.

Jan1985 Posted June 1, 2020 Share #132  Posted June 1, 2020 Just today I did a random shot with the 120mm and the 100mm. You clearly see the difference in the more dynamic bokeh of the 100mm Welcome, dear visitor!

setuporg Posted June 2, 2020 Share #133 Â Posted June 2, 2020 @Jan1985, the S120 is kinder to the portrait. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaR10 Posted June 2, 2020 Share #134  Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Jan1985,  I agree with Setuporg above.  Yet, the S 100 has been described as the rendering like a Noctilux.  The bokeh and DOF drop-off of the S 100 appears to make it that way.  Although, the S 100 appears to render with more resolution wide open than say a 50 Noctilux .95.  Thank you for posting this interesting comparison. r/ Mark Edited June 2, 2020 by LeicaR10 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinder to the wrinkles, creating a smoother portrait. Of course the little gitl in @ropo54's photo does not need that extra help from the lens.:) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
