Remember, you’re seeing the JPEG not the DNG RAW…📷 Yes, it’s a nice rendering but it’s not a unique rendering to my eye. And a jpeg made from a raw file is a pretty good equivalent to a print from a neg. I’m not trying to change your mind, you see what you see and I see my way. I think the credit here goes to you and not as much to the lens you used. If you’d have taken this on your phone it would still be a fabulous photo and 99% of people wouldn’t be able to see the difference. The main thing about the kit you use is that it delivers what YOU want and inspires you to make these wonderful images. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past decade other makers have matched or exceeded Leica performance at a much lower cost. Leica has raked in cash while still selling a $2600 50mm f2 lens designed in the 70’s. (Consider that Voigtlander is on the third version of their 50 1.2 in less than a decade. They are simply trying harder. ) I enjoy the brand, but I won’t fool myself into believing everything they make is the best in its class. 🍷 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lykaman Posted July 12 Share #111 Posted July 12 As an antidote:- when I had my Maserati Coupe in the early 2000’s I felt like a million dollars, returning to the car park of our local taverna, parked next to mine was its brother in the same metallic blue.. I was no longer special.🫣 .. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
