carl_valiquet Posted August 30, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Andan was enjoying her afternoon tea when I noticed the sidelight accentuating her features and the contrast of the green trees in the background and her pink sweater. I picked up the M10R and changed the 35mm to a 75 Apo Summicron. I enjoy taking portraits with this 75mm. I must say that it is sharp, maybe a bit too sharp for portraits. I often add a bit of grain in the postproduction and soften the image slightly. Reminds me when I used a 150mm T* lens on the Hasselblad. I often added a SOFTAR filter to break the sharpness and create a soft, almost imperceptible, halo. Around the highlights. M10 R 75mm Apo Summicron. Aperture used here: F5.6 Welcome, dear visitor!

MaticB Posted August 30, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 30, 2022 It is beautiful portrait! Everything is in balance on this picture! Agree about 75 mm! Me myself, I have Summarit 75/2.4 which I've bought recently for reduced price - new one! Although it doesn't soften out-of-focus areas as smoothly as APO Summicron, it render perfectly. I really like it, and it will stay with me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a beautiful lens, easier to get focus in my opinion than the Apo. Regards. Carl. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
