Absolutely fabulous! What a wonderful portrait: composition, light, grey tones, focus, everything is wonderful. As is the model.

Thank you very much Lex! With Ligia it is very easy to take a photo, I just have to check the light and to press the botton

Mesmerizing portrait of a truly beautiful model!

Could you tell us a bit more about the lens and why you use it? Are you aware of any adapter for this lens on the SL system? Was there any post processing?

Thanks

 

 

Thanks a lot Pierre! The Contax 2.8/135 is perfect for portraits and is of outstanding quality. No plastic feeling at all. It is razor sharp and has a wonderful bokeh. There was almost no post processing, only a bit contrast, light, shadows, face. I have the Novoflex adapter but I do not know whether there is one for the SL. Maybe you can find it on their website.

Just to be sure, is this the lens you used for this portrait?  https://www.ebay.com/itm/395089875526?hash=item5bfd311246:g:Hv4AAOSwxeNlSj~v&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4Kq0DwmbPK5k0ZKS0Xpc3KVvSlmDt%2FpNKteP%2FHxMMMhR0Jj7leMFQ8UwA5v6UAnA2LieSYDDIZK%2FgnPh9D8tVhV02rRKoWbgLFQObQkgSqqbM7IWFS5mKV8qu0DJoXaTojL9Qg8xMvXCL2pM968zlAtj7P7RVjeYckOxtMGSWyV4Vn7xuD%2FSTnz%2B8vQ2oxw7kH5AR7dA0aYfL4ORuL29JVBjhfFjMVZyBiPmRcJqw3lUIT58Y%2BByRyxDWdfAx5ZkJVOVYnpzNCbsYK94b9lvaF4NQ7VZdrm1KLmVFUeeiZ%2Bh|tkp%3ABk9SR-ybvNWUYw

Thanks a lot Charles! The lens is really a very good alternative to the 135 Leica lenses. I never thought that it performs so well.

Well I have the 135 Apo Telyt f/3.4. It is a fine lens for street photography and landscape, as it is very sharp but I agree that it is not a lens for flattering portrait. I have ordered a used Contax 135 f/2.8 right after seeing this portrait of Lìgia as it is a totally different lens.

Very well done Pierre, you will love it!
