Josh bear Posted February 12, 2018 Share #722 Posted February 12, 2018 Thank you very much. Appreciate the feedback. I do sometimes struggle with what should be B&W and colour. Most of the time I process both and then agonise! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted February 12, 2018 Share #724 Posted February 12, 2018 Thank you very much. Appreciate the feedback. I do sometimes struggle with what should be B&W and colour. Most of the time I process both and then agonise! Josh, I really liked both your color and B/W shots. I enjoyed the way you captured the light, and then your PP. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you find using non Leica lenses on the CL? The results look good but any issues? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted February 12, 2018 Share #728 Posted February 12, 2018 Love the expression. How do you find using non Leica lenses on the CL? The results look good but any issues? Thanks, Josh. I have been using Nikkor lenses on T almost 98% of time and really enjoyed it. No problem what so ever. CL gave me a little problem till I could find a way. CL has a lens profiling that is only for Leica R and M; not for a third party. Therefore, magnification through the top right wheel is not activated. I am using the Novoflex adapter that has no electrical connection with the camera, and so, the camera doesn't recognize the lens to function correctly. But while playing with the camera, I discovered that even with a third MF lens, (although the top wheell is not working), you can still have a magnification by pushing the top/down arrow, on the right side of the LCD. Therefore, when I turn the camera on, I magnify the subject first, focus, then, half pushing the release makes it disappear, and you can frame and shoot... I wonder if this technique is not even better or faster than using the top right wheel! But I got used to it and it works perfectly well for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfdann Posted February 12, 2018 Share #729 Posted February 12, 2018 I use focus peaking to focus my M lenses without magnification and it works well. Does this work with Nikor Lenses? I plan to order a Novoflex to use my Nikon lenses. Continuing to enjoy your work especially with Nikon Lenses. Thanks, Dan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikasmg Posted February 12, 2018 Share #733 Posted February 12, 2018 Cold winter morning. Bernd Leica CL by Bernd Twiest, on Flickr Very nice! IMHO though, a cooler or neutral interpretation of the monochrome may have been effective. - Vikas 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to order a Novoflex to use my Nikon lenses. Continuing to enjoy your work especially with Nikon Lenses. Thanks, Dan Yes, focus peaking is also working with MF third party lenses. But somehow, I feel more comfortable with magnification. I can see the real effect and control the background (bokeh). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted February 12, 2018 Share #735 Posted February 12, 2018 Thanks. Good to know. Leica lenses are traditionally expensive what is the next best alternative that works with the CL in your opinion? Josh, as a long time Nikon user, I only have old Nikkor lenses that I really very much enjoy. I guess if you have the M adapter, you could also use the excellent Zeiss and Voigtlander lenses with M mount. But there are many other excellent lenses too. For instance, I have seen excellent results with some Canon lenses. With the proper adapter, you can use any lens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted February 13, 2018 Share #740 Posted February 13, 2018 I'm a big fan of your shots, Louis, but in this one the light/contrast is a bit apocalyptic for me. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
