charlesphoto99 Posted January 14, 2008 Share #5 Â Posted January 14, 2008 Not to mention that Leica lenses are poor perfomers at small apertures. You'll find this lens sharper at f2 than you will at 16. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrid Posted January 15, 2008 Share #6 Â Posted January 15, 2008 Not to mention that Leica lenses are poor perfomers at small apertures. You'll find this lens sharper at f2 than you will at 16. Â Pretty much all lenses experience a performance drop when they are stopped down all the way. You hit defraction limit etc. None of these issues are exclusive to Leica glass.

wparsonsgisnet Posted January 15, 2008 Share #7  Posted January 15, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Alex, I take it that you have the non-asph lens.  1. I used this lens for some time, replacing it with the asph version which is much sharper. In my case the pre-asph lens gave me lots of flare in my regular task of shooting dance onstage. I needed the newer lens with the better flare suppression.  2. That said, don't stop your lens down further than f8. You might like this thread  http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m8-forum/23431-f8-last-stop-gas.html  3. The window would most likely get in the way of the pic, expecially if it is dirty from the usual winter weather. I watched a guy prepare to shoot some stage shots from inside the control booth, once. This was a pretty clean window. He spent an hour polishing both sides with windex and towels. His shots were nice, but he could have used a Leica and shot from the back of the theater.......  If you can get a simliar shot from outdoors, using a wider stop, you should like it better.

leicar7 Posted January 15, 2008 Share #8 Â Posted January 15, 2008 Unless the "window" is of optically correct glass, i.e., built to the same specs as a high quality filter, it is well nigh impossible to make a statement about the "sharpness" of an image shot through it with any lens at any aperture. It also appears that there is fog or some other contrast lowering condition, either outside or on the window. Â I recommend to the originator of this thread to test the lens and camera outside, on a clear day, on a tripod, with a cable release, at several focussing distances, at ISO 160, and bracket focussing to try to cover for the back-focus problem on digital cameras.

wparsonsgisnet Posted January 15, 2008 Share #9 Â Posted January 15, 2008 ... bracket focussing to try to cover for the back-focus problem on digital cameras. Â I mostly frequent this forum. Is back-focusing a problem for digicams in general? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauribix Posted January 15, 2008 Share #10  Posted January 15, 2008 forgot to mention, this is through the glass window  Just a question, and sorry if i hurt you, but this is frustrating to hear:  How could you make such a consideration being behind a window while it snow? Don't you think that both the window and the weather have a great responsibility in sharpening fall off? Maybe you'll get surprised with fog too.  The 35lux asph is one of the sharpest lens, but this is not really a picture to consider. With such a picture both the 50 elmar or 50lux asph would have given you this result. And using the 90elmarit-m (for many here, the sharpest) wouldn't really have made a difference.  Best Regards  Maurizio  P.S. best sharpness performance of the 35lux ASPH is at about f4/f5.6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
