oldwino Posted August 28, 2021 Share #44 Posted August 28, 2021 I like what I am seeing from the samples. Reminds me a bit of my Summar, but with a wider zone of central sharpness. Maybe a bit of Summarit1.5 or Summilux V1? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted August 28, 2021 Share #45 Posted August 28, 2021 On 8/19/2021 at 8:52 AM, pippy said: So why would a lens designer choose to put the aperture that far forward? Does it allow correction due to diffraction by the diaphragm-blades at smaller apertures easier to achieve? I think I still have a volume on Optics & Lens Design kicking around. Perhaps it's time to track it down... Philip. BTW - product photos of the new Heliar Classic show that the aperture is, in fact. right up front, as in the 90mm Elmarit v.1 (first picture in second row).. https://leicarumors.com/2021/08/17/voigtlander-heliar-classic-50mm-f-1-5-vm-lens-for-leica-m-mount-officially-announced.aspx/ 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted August 28, 2021 Share #46 Posted August 28, 2021 BTW - Danner - I notice that a Google image search for the "50 f/1.5 Classic Heliar" now includes your red/yellow/black checkerboard avatar - on about page 6. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure why It would make me a hero but I can certainly upload an image of mine on my MP when it arrives! ：D Edited August 29, 2021 by Ouroboros 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted August 29, 2021 Share #50 Posted August 29, 2021 Interesting how much the Heliar Classic "cosmetics" echo the old Olympus OM 50mms. Stubby, black and chrome rings, diamond-knurling.

It will have to be used sparingly or the look is going to get old pretty quickly.

The most interesting photographers to me are the ones who have the creative vision to speak with their own voice. The least interesting are those who can't see any further than endlessly trying to recreate a 'look'. I'm confident there's more to the new Heliar than the stuff that's linked to above. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
