And finally the Samyang 800mm image  … do-nuts are evident but not too intrusive.

Whilst waiting the chaos of these shapes and sizes attracted my attention.

Somebody put those there one at a time with loving care.

Yes indeed quite a long time ago, and they are soon to be replaced in one area in front of the Abbey where we were at in Einsiedeln, Switzerland today.

What sort of adapters and easy or not to focus? The image looks very good.

Had hoped to post 5 consecutive images without comments in between!! … Which is why each post states 'continued … " !!

 

But never mind ...

 

The Samyang 800mm has a universal T-mount fitting (not to be confused with Leica T mount) … thus needs a T adaptor … so was fitted with a Leica R 'T'-mount adaptor and thence a Novoflex R to M adaptor … plus the regular Leica M to T adaptor. 

 

The 800mm Samyang is a real pig of a lens to focus - party because it needs a very stable tripod and party because it has a very coarse focusing helicoil i.e. it's not fine enough to achieve accurate fine focus every time . Thus plan to modify the lens by adding a lever to the focusing grip - which in theory will permit longer focus travel.

 

Best wishes

Dunk,

 

Sorry about that, I will look out for 'continued' in future and act accordingly.

A rain shot.  Taken with the T with the Apo Macro Elmarit R 100mm stacked with M to T and then an R to M converter.  I don't recommend this because this is a huge lens for this camera, but it works!

Thanks, I process in Capture One Pro 8, monthly subscription, on the camera I dial in for all my images EC -1/3

In Capture One : in the dynamic section, I dial the highlight slider totally back (brings out the sky) and the shadow slider at 35,

Clarity at 20 and structure at 20 , sometimes some cropping , generally don"t touch color , only for indoor shots , most of my corrections deal with controlling the light.

Peter... If there's one thing I hate it's people posting wonderful pictures from a lens I do not have!

Mea Culpa

I'm envious as well, the 11-23 was high on the must have list. The 18-56 won due cost, size, and the fact I got offered a new one at a decent price. Still one day I might bite the bullet.

Keep 'em coming Peter.

Hi Gary, I just recently acquired the 11-23, here in Canada, (perhaps elsewhere also ) there is is 12.5% discount on certain Leica equipment.

I looked at this lens before and found it expensive for my budget (I am well over my budget now ) I am glad I got this lens, it is really good,

I am very happy with it , in spite of the cost.
