Popular Post Sparkassenkunde Posted September 26, 2024 Popular Post Share #6  Posted September 26, 2024 I have read somewhere, that Leica cameras are to be used for flower photography mainly. So I think it is good to put some flowers on the first page of this thread 😎 Welcome, dear visitor!

Almost reminds me of a vintage lens with the modern correction for aspherical abbreviations. Stunning 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sparkassenkunde Posted September 26, 2024 Popular Post Share #10  Posted September 26, 2024 To answer your questions and to give you a better way of judging the output I will give additional information on the first picture. It was made with f/2.0 at ISO 100, 1/60s. I focused on the "Brooks" plate at minimum focus distance (not in macro mode). The posted version was slightly cropped. Here is the version directly after import to Adobe Lightroom re-sized to forum requirements: Welcome, dear visitor!

Sorry, did not see your next question 🙂 As I wrote before, the only things done with the file with a preset I have build in Lightroom mobile. In detail: exposure +0.03 contrast: +9 shadows: +27 blacks: -11 white balance ooc (temp 5400K, tint +13) vignette after cropping -15 no sharpening This is one of the routines I use for almost all of my pictures as a starting point. 7 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWColor Posted September 26, 2024 Share #15  Posted September 26, 2024 Nice images … With the slightly longer lens (43 vs 28mm), the question arises as to if you can repeatedly focus at f/2.0 on an eye with a subject that is moving slowly, or erratically.  I ask, because I’m using the Hasselblad X2D with the 90mm and 38mm lenses.. 35mm equivalent of around 75/30mm.  With the 90mm @ f/2.5.. (slightly faster than the f/2.0), I can reliably focus on a face that isn’t moving much, but I can’t reliably get an eye in focus.  I can see using the 43mm for environmental portraits where I’m trying to isolate the subject from the background.  So, am I buying an autofocus that can perform this task when I purchase the 43?  I intentionally delayed my order to get on the list, but delay delivery until more information is available.  I appreciate your feedback. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkassenkunde Posted September 26, 2024 Share #16  Posted September 26, 2024 I can't answer your question today, @BWColor, as I have taken a few pictures on the way home today only. I will put the camera to some further testing in the next days, as I will visit some portrait workshops tomorrow and Saturday. There I will probably be able to work with the eye detection auto focus. I will certainly share my experiences and more pictures here in the next time, as I have done with the Q3 before. From my first impressions the camera is another nice tool. I was not certain if I "need" this new version, but as the workflow is same as with the Q3, it uses the same batteries and I had a very good shooting experience with the 40mm Summicron on my Leica Minilux I grabbed it immediately today.  4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieCheddar Posted September 27, 2024 Share #19  Posted September 27, 2024 (edited) By the way, if you want to use an ND Filter on the Q3 43, you cannot use the small thin "square" hood that comes with the camera -- it won't fit. You'll have to use the optional "circle" hood shown here, instead.  Welcome, dear visitor!
