pgk Posted June 10, 2020 Share #1  Posted June 10, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) OK. Here we have two shot (nondescript subject but it will do fine) which are clearly different. Can anyone suggest why (both on Leica lenses - please feel free to guess which). The actual difference between the two lenses might surprise you! Welcome, dear visitor!

jaeger Posted June 10, 2020 Share #11  Posted June 10, 2020 Well the bird in the center has not moved, so these 2 pictures are the same. It's just lightroom editing, is it an April fool question? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken just a few seconds apart. So no, it was a 'different' lens. Try thinking, if all else is equal what might drop the contrast significantly (not a filter).

pippy Posted June 10, 2020 Share #18 Â Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) "But Seriously Folks..."... Was the bottom one shot using a Thambar? Top with Elmarit-M? Second (OK, third) guess would be Tele-Elmar and Elmarit-M - both frames shot wide-open. Fungus in the lower one of them...... Philip.

Ko.Fe. Posted June 10, 2020 Share #19  Posted June 10, 2020 Second is dull, for whatever reason. It could be several reasons if it is related to the lens. I'm having hard time to find any of them to be fascinating enough to mention here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giannis Posted June 10, 2020 Share #20  Posted June 10, 2020 I'd say a diffusion filter. Something like a Tiffen Promist, or a Hoya Softener or Diffuser. Or, similar effect by breathing on the lens, shooting through a stocking etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
