helged Posted December 19, 2023 Share #2 Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) A rare guest in Western Norway; the mandarin duck (Aix galericulata). Lens: Leica 280mm APO-R w/1.4 APO-R Extender (with the lei-ko adapter; https://lei-ko.de). ISO800, 1/90 s, handheld, on S3. Why: With 1.4x extender, the wonderful 280-APO-R focuses to infinity.

Pierre68 Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share #7 Posted December 19, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well actually I have 24, 35, 70, 120 and 180. I am doing mostly landscape so the 24 and 3 are my favorites even though I have come through some flare issues when shooting towards the sun with the 24... I am really interested by the 30-90 actually and might give it a shot at some time. But I am so passionate at people using older, vintage lenses on this platform that I would like to see more of your "vintage" ..."exotic" lenses pictures on this platform... The S is not dead!

1joel1 Posted February 1, 2024 Share #10 Posted February 1, 2024 I have a Mamiya 300mm f2.8 on my S2. It's quite spectacular, but I don't use it much anymore. It's big and I'm old 😀 Joel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrayson3 Posted February 3, 2024 Share #11 Posted February 3, 2024 (edited) Pentax 67 400/4. Makes the Leica look like a Sony A7. (I have the 400/4 ED/IF, which is a much better and heavier lens, but doesn't look as menacing.) Welcome, dear visitor!

But the most exotic has to be the Zeiss 350/5.6 Superachromat, seen here with the APO 1.4 XE And, of course, Soup - showing his enthusiasm for the Zeiss (used here without the 1.4 XE) Matt Edited February 3, 2024 by mgrayson3 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

RLocket Posted February 4, 2024 Share #12 Posted February 4, 2024 Finding a good TS solution at a useful focal length for Leica S is difficult. However, Phase One released a 45mm f3.5 TS lens in 2008 with a Mamiya 645 mount. This was a joint venture with Hartblei and was based on Hartblei's Super Rotator with improvements. The lens offers 12 mm of shift and 8 degrees of tilt that are independent of each other so any combination is possible and in any direction. Comparing Leica's 30 to 90 zoom at 45mm with the Phase One TS lens in the f8 to f16 range shows similar image quality in the centre but sharpness fall off towards the edges and noticeable centre barrel distortion with the Phase One lens. Fortunately Capture One has a lens profile for this particular lens that corrects these deficiencies. The lens feels high quality and is fun to use. Welcome, dear visitor!
