Bear Posted October 6, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 6, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) As Leica increasingly rolls out new lens designs that focus closer than 0.7m, I figured it would be a good time to start a thread featuring images taken with these lenses. Please upload photos taken with Leica-branded M lenses with a native minimum focusing distances less than 0.7m (e.g. 35 Lux FLE II, 50 Lux Asph II, 35 APO, etc.). Images featured here should be taken at a distance less than 0.7m. Please let us know what lens you used! I'll start us off with a few taken with the 50 Lux Asph II with an M10 Welcome, dear visitor!

Kwesi Posted October 6, 2023 Share #2 Posted October 6, 2023 Also please indicate what aperture was used. I'm personally curious how much depth of field is achieved at the smaller apertures, thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexGig0 Posted October 6, 2023 Share #3 Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Let us not forget the two 21mm Super Angulon lenses, with an MFD of 0.4m, the first version of the 21mm Elmarit, with an MFD of 0.38m, and the Wide Angle Tele Elmar, a.k.a. WATE, with an MFD of 0.5m. 😉 Edited October 6, 2023 by RexGig0 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Another with the 50 Lux ASPH II at f1.4. JPEG SOOC. DOF is razor thin. Focus is (intended) on the pink lemon flower bud. Body sway while using liveview is definitely a challenge. Welcome, dear visitor!

I appreciate the participation everybody, but I did intend for this thread to be for Leica M lenses that natively focus at distances less than 0.7m (i.e. without auxiliary attachments) - in particular showcasing lenses with the new double cam focusing mechanism. Admittedly, the list of qualifying lenses is pretty short, but I expect it will grow as Leica produces more lenses with this design. I believe there is a separate macro thread for images taken with the macro adapter and El Pro 52. Lovely photos though!

Bear Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share #17 Posted October 8, 2023 Awesome shots JCR and Erato. It seems the 35mm focal length may be a bit more versatile at MFD than the 50 by offering much more context to the shots. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize for not reading it closer. No worries! I think yours is a valid submission as the thread is intended for Leica lenses that natively focus lower than 0.7m. Just want to avoid submissions that use any assortment of macro adapters or close up lenses as there are already separate threads for those. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
