colint544 Posted January 30, 2021 Share #102 Posted January 30, 2021 Leica M5, with the 50mm Summilux ASPH black chrome edition, and Ilford FP4. Shot wide open at 1.4. Fine-grained film with a modern aspherical lens captures a lot of detail Welcome, dear visitor!

Kwesi Posted January 30, 2021 Share #103 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) 45 minutes ago, colint544 said: I'm always reading that the 35 Summilux ASPH FLE has a sterile, boring character to it, but I can't say I've really found that. I think it really comes alive though, when shot on film. I saw somewhere on this forum that someone - can't remember who - likes to shoot modern aspherical Leica lenses on a film M, and vintage lenses on a digital M, and I'm sure they're onto something there.. I know , its a common misconception. Im not sure its so much a film or digital thing though, one of the things i love about the Karbe lenses is how faithful they are in reproducing the quality of the light you are working with. i will see if i can find an example or two. Edited January 30, 2021 by Kwesi my original sentence was quite garbled 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely images, and a big range of tones. I remember Peter Karbe once saying that a major design feature of his lenses are that they can be shot at any aperture with no compromise. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to tell in such a hard contrast situation. Funny, I was suspecting Acros, but didn’t think many people used it. I have Acros II loaded in my M3 currently. 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Vonn Posted January 30, 2021 Share #118 Posted January 30, 2021 Very interesting this in a subjective way. I didn’t really appreciate just how much more “modern” the Karbe lenses rendered on a digital M compared to their Mandler counterparts. From what I’ve seen in this thread so far, it’s the film renderings that seem to be providing a certain distinction. But as I say, all subjective. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
