Not wether I prefer Karbe or Mandler, I already know the answer to that. But wether I can love both, or have to pledge allegiance to one... Interesting approach. Why do you suspect it might not be possible to love both? Philip. Edited January 25, 2021 by pippy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted January 25, 2021 Share #23 Posted January 25, 2021 C'mon guys, so far not a single comment on the photograph posted with the initial post?? I quite like it, no matter whether it's Mandler or Karbe magic 😎. 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while some cherish choices, others, me included, can sometimes find it overwhelming. I already struggle to choose my focal lengths, so imagine if once I chose to shoot at 35, I have to chose between a pre asph and an FLE? Sounds daunting ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb image. Superb lens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted January 25, 2021 Share #32 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I don't really have anything which shows 'Magic' - neither by Mandler nor Karbe - but of the three Leitz lenses I tend to use the most (by a long way) nowadays the score is 'Mandler 1; Karbe 2.'; these being 28mm Karbe, 50mm Mandler, 75mm Karbe (always assuming I'm correct in thinking Karbe designed the Elmarit ASPH and f2.5 Summarit lenses!). This is a holiday snap of a scene which I've posted before but only as a monochrome image. This colour version is actually from a different DNG file and I just happen to like the way the lens handled the situation. Focus was on the taller pair of masts nearest centre-image. It isn't clear here but the way the lens managed to capture the detail of the 'thin twiddly stuff'(*) at the top of the mast is extraordinary! The lens was the 75mm f2.5 Summarit shot wide-open at ISO 1250. Camera was an M-D Typ-262; Welcome, dear visitor!

I just interpreted the TTL meter and pushed the button. Philip. Us photographers are just seismographs recording earth quakes. The stronger the earthquake, the strongest the recording. The earthquake does most of the job. but If you ask any seismograph you’ll get a feel of how complicated is their task. No room for error.

Yes, an advantage of the ASPH is that I can photograph wide open at a slightly longer distance without losing details. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
