I respect your work and have followed it for many years, but I have to correct you on this one. Noone suggested what you said above, so please do not make things up, because this is how stupid conversations start. All I did was to ask how one can call Steven "green" in photography when he has a presence on the internet, he has shown very good work and it is his job to be involved with cinema and (maybe) photography.

I got all of them correct in the website Thanks, I'm gratified by the last sentence! And you're right in correcting me on my statement; but we may be talking at cross purposes: what I was trying to refer to was that @Steven's huge following on Instagram did not come from photography, as such: he once told me the reason, but I don't recall if that was on the open forum or in a PM, so I'm not repeating it here — and I couldn't resist using the expression "a sage". ________________________Frog Leaping photobook Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nowhereman Posted July 24, 2021 Share #408 Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) @Daedalus2000/@Steven - What does annoy me are statements like the one below. This type of attack — that "every thread you start seems to descend into a farce" etc) — often comes from frequent posters: it is in no way true, and Steven has started many interesting threads that have ended up being informative. My annoyance, beyond the false bonhomie, comes from people making personal attacks and trying to ridicule the person targeted, with no one speaking out against this. And that is the reason for my statement now. 8 hours ago, Ouroboros said: @StevenI understand from what I have read on here you are involved in film production. Since every thread you start seems to descend into a farce and you are French, I have a feeling you may have worked closely with Peter Sellers. Or Neil.🤣 Edited July 24, 2021 by Nowhereman Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there was at least one person speaking (in a polite way I hope) against that statement. 6 hours ago, Daedalus2000 said: I find Steve's threads the most enjoyable. He has a passion for photography, Leica and exploring different lenses and cameras. I find his enthusiasm infectious and the fact that he explores stuff without any (resource) limitations makes the whole journey more interesting. This is the internet, small misunderstandings and differences in personalities become big issues, but at the end we all learn, help each other and have fun.

Casey Jefferson Posted July 24, 2021 Share #413 Posted July 24, 2021 Great, after pages of arguments nobody cares to suggest taking pictures of a darn white wall 😂 I've seen it on my both 28cron (v1) and 35cron (v5) on M240, and it depends on lighting. It's particularly strong under sunny day shots and involving blue (usually sky) or neutral (white, grey, usually walls) shots. I never notice it few months into owning M system and one fine day I saw it, and can never unseen it since. Please consider it a blessing if you don't see it, and never try to search for it again (if you made it this far, please ignore the white wall suggestion above) 😂 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from tree 😂there is anomaly* on the left edge, not very noticeable but far from perfect one would expect from a lens of such calibre used on native camera, if this thing is present on Elmarit M 28mm ASPH Mk1 or Mk2 what is Leica going to do about it, suggest using lens on cropped sensor camera? *The effect looks like holographic safety strip one find on credit cards.

IkarusJohn Posted July 24, 2021 Share #419 Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Zeiss 15 Distagon 2.8 T* ZM The purpose of the image is to see if the doubters on this forum can identify the red edge (left side, band, running top to bottom). If so, then go back to Steven’s first image … The tree, by the way, is a pohutakawa (metrosideros excelsa), the NZ christmas tree. PS - the lens is a made in Germany flagship M mount lens for Zeiss, still sold. Pretty much every image with this lens on my M9 had red edge. Okay on a cropped sensor (TL2) and on the Monochrom, but otherwise hopelessly flawed. Edited July 24, 2021 by IkarusJohn Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We proven our points with evidence and he stated that he's happy with the result. Reminds me years ago when Apple devices having those partial yellow/magenta tint issues on the display. People were baffled by the fact that some of their friends were completely happy with their gadgets despite the flawed display and couldn't really see any issues. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
