At risk of boring you all - I must show you my new favorite  toy for my Leica T - a Voigtlander 10th anniversary 50mm f2 Heliar - Nickle plated lens.  39mm screw mount - comes with an M adapter, cap and hood..They only made 600 of these .. serial numbers are one hundred for each letter in Heliar... (very spiffy marketing).  Mine is H073 so probably 2009 or so.

Don't get too excited but here is my make-shift test chart just to see at what f stop it can start to yield decent resolution.  The Heliar design is very old, and was pushed to its limit to get it to f2.0. - the word on the street is that it is soft when wide open.  My shots have confirmed that it is a bit soft at f 2.0 but not really objectionable to me.  IMO - By f 2.8 it is very good and by f 4.5 outstanding right through f 11.

This lens has an old style rendering which is not quite as brilliant and contrasty as my Zeiss Biogons and Sonnars were - however, the results are quite pleasing.  Unfortunately it is raining here today so my only outside shots were  pointed out an open porch door.  The colors produce are just fine.

The Heliar 50 f 2.0 Ltd is not particularly big or heavy - just solid - it balances on the Leica T very nicely - the focus is smooth, the f stops are precise clicks - overall, it is a Joy to use!

Yes, I dabbled slightly when I had a Canon DSLR for a short time a few years ago, it had been full spectrum converted, and I used it for astro imaging.

I'd have been interested to see the difference, I/R converted, vs B&W JPEG High Contrast, but didn't want to be a pain after you posted the full colour shots.

 

Either way, a neat idea, and one to have fun with on those bright sunny days. I'm doing similar with film of late, Rollei make a type of I/R mono film which seems to work OK in the SWC, fun it is.

Lazy, foggy, cool, autumn Sunday morning, and a quick walk around the garden ensued. I shot most of these yesterday with the Leicaflex SL, and it will be interesting to compare them.

All with the T, and with the Micro-Nikkor 55mm f2.8. I'm really loving this lens for this sort of use. Most were at F8, and usually in A mode.

Felt like playing around with the T and Noctilux 1.0 this morning. I actually prefer shooting with it on the T over the M, as less weight to deal with. Much easier with the Visoflex too.
