This are my first pictures with the new lens I got yersterday. The weather was not so well and a little bit windy. I only made these pictures to demonstrate the characteristic of the new Apo-Summicron.

  • jaapv changed the title to Using the M 10-R with the new Apo-Summicron 35 mm - images welcome!-

I’m having the same discovery problems with the Voigtlander 35mm APO-Lanthar on the M10M 😉

The lens is basically as contrasty and sharp corner-corner as you could ever want ; all that needs correcting in post is vignetting. Trying to show this in a 2480 wide compressed jpeg does not really do it justice.

Pixel peeping at full resolution only highlights the flaws in my techniques, limitations of handholding and need to find suitable subjects.

At these 40Mpixel+ resolutions, fields of grain extending to infinity show why large format photographers chose to mount on a tripod and tilt the focus plane - I’m not really sure that is what M photography is primarily about.

The first photo brings back memories. 🙂

 

Does the M10R automatically switch to wide cinema format when attaching the 35 APO? 🤔

A further trial, this time some close up shots out of hand (> 60 cm) using the Visoflex.

Which raises the question: do we even want perfection? Many cultures embrace the concept of deliberate imperfection in art.

Particularly as we rarely demand it from ourselves, let alone know how to achieve it even if we did.  Perhaps the only true use for a 'perfect' camera/optic is as a learning tool that serves to lay bare one's own ineptitude.

Having just ordered a pinhole camera and a whole bunch of expired film, I'm actually paying good money for bad photos!
