This is the new Summilux wide open on the M11.

I'd thought this was a good image showing the lovely colours, sharpness and soft Bokeh of the lens .

That looks very Noctiluxish... I get mine in autumn from my dealer. Will sell 50 APO and 50 Noctilux for it.

This strengthens my point that the summilux has the same type of character but has more pop and easier to focus. That‘s the problem I often had on weddings. And when I watch the bokeh there is not that much difference. A bit more swirly in with the Nocti. Thanks you for these sets.

If you uploaded these directly to the forum, know that the image is crushed like crazy, so it also looks especially bad when uploaded here.

Exactly the reason I don't get why we have those strict file size limitations...

Storing high fidelity photos is expensive. Very expensive. Especially if you want them to be loaded quickly. It's a business decision, which you'd think would be made a bit differently for a photography forum.

I know. I was though not suggesting it should be possible to store full-size photos. But the allowed quality is far from good - for a photography forum anyway...

It's pretty laughable at how limited this forum is with quality. It's worse than most forums I've seen, even non-photography ones. Maybe they just want a bigger margin of revenue, or they're truly not getting enough monetary support to provide it.

that‘s whats my point is since i know this place. we often deal with just test photos of certain lenses. but I rarely see great photographes, images that i never forget like them of Bresson or others. and also the small file size are a shame with todays bandwiths and server storage sizes…

photo storage costs have increased quite a bit lately, but I'm sure there are ways to fine tune it to make it affordable enough.

I wrote an app (just for myself) to actually store photos for free at full, uncompressed, unchanged quality on Filecoin (using IPFS protocol). It's zero cost, and basically unlimited. There's these ways to do it, but it does take quite a bit of work to make, so I'm not sure how realistic it is to go beyond what forum software (that this one uses) can do.

Would like to see more photos of the 50 lux close focus…

Mine arrives on Saturday. I will actually have two big shoots next week (not test shots etc, actual work work shots that will yield very intentional photos) that I can probably share some shots from. I'm also going to do a test between the new one vs. my black chrome summilux.

Delivery delayed to Monday. Bummer. I'll just keep shooting with my black chrome this weekend.
