LocalHero1953 Posted January 6, 2024 Share #605 Posted January 6, 2024 (edited) A new (to me) Summilux-SL 50mm, arrived yesterday. I had a portrait session planned for this morning: he wanted headshots to help him get into drama school. SL2S First image Summilux-SL 50mm @ f/1.4, ISO 100, no crop Second image Apo-Summicron-SL 90mm, @ f/2, no crop Obviously I had to cut down the lighting by a stop for the Summilux, and you can see the bigger nose in the 50mm!

Olaf_ZG Posted January 6, 2024 Share #606 Posted January 6, 2024 Must admit that the 50 really renders wonderfully. Which makes one did the client like most? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably avoid the lens for portraits as close as this, but for upper body it would be fine. And at f/1.4, this close, one can see that the eyes and lips are in focus, but quite a lot else is not. But I love the effect of a face emerging in startlingly sharp detail from a soft mist! It will take me a while to work out exactly when to use it and when not. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sohail Posted January 7, 2024 Share #610 Posted January 7, 2024 Nose aside, the 50 wins hands down. It's much more intimate and atmospheric, which fits in with "drama" theme. If you'd stepped back just a tiny bit and had him tilt his head down, I think you'd have nailed it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take me a while to work out exactly when to use it and when not. Smartphone generations might find the long-lens rendering a bit flat (and fattening), and prefer the closer perspective. It feels more intimate, and it's a closer match to what we see in the mirror. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see every last pore on the end of the nose and the exact tonality of every zit, which gets harder when you get close at f/1.4: I'm obsessive about getting DoF just right in portraits Edited January 7, 2024 by LocalHero1953 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted January 7, 2024 Share #617 Posted January 7, 2024 "I'd have won if I hadn't folded" SL2S + Summilux-SL 50 f/5.6 ISO 5000. First image with normal editing, but no denoise (which would affect appraisal of the lens's resolution detail). The background is darkened with a mask, and there is a linear gradient darkening the LHS. Cropped for height and slightly straightened. Second image: after Lightroom AI denoising at 35%.

LocalHero1953 Posted January 7, 2024 Share #619 Posted January 7, 2024 (edited) This illustrates another reason I wanted this lens. The same scene, but two different stories being told (neither of them to do with poker, which is just a metaphor in this play). SL2S + Summilux-SL 50 The first image at f/1.4, ISO 320, no AI denoise. The young man has been screwed (figuratively) by the young woman. The second image at f/6.3, ISO 6400. AI denoise applied at 35%. The moral contest is now between the young woman and the older man.

Olaf_ZG Posted January 7, 2024 Share #620 Posted January 7, 2024 It can be me, but I have the feeling that this lens really differentiates in the areas before the focus plane. Bokeh behind, all lenses have, but this is spectacular. which is a pity, as I hoped i could go with a 75/2 or different portrait lens…. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
