M8 and Canon 0.95 ! Good !

Very nice.

But what is the point adapting a super high speed lens with f:0.95 and shooting it stopped down to f:1.4?

There are plenty of f:1.4(1.5)-lenses arround that are much smaller and better to handle. Many of them also give an "old fashioned" creamy bokeh (e.g. the Summarit).

I would like to see examples of the lens that were taken wide open!

Stopped down, this lens is relatively uninteresting...

 

Best regards,

Alex

The 0.95 on line is for Canon 7 model ... difficult for adapting on Leica, not for mount, for coupling ... the TV model is better.

 

 

 

Actually the 7 model is much easier to convert because the coupling is already present.

One reason for using a 0.95, 1.0, or even a 1.2 stopped down in preference to a native 1.4 is that the light fall off in the corners can be much less. That's certainly noticeable between the 50/1.2 Hexanon and the 50mm Summilux ASPH for example.

 

The pictures I posted of the singer were all taken with the 50mm Canon at full aperture 0.95.

hello

the telemeter of leica is base on a 50.0mm focal length.

there are 2 version of the TV lens

one as philipandre model with a small back lens and a ring that look to be in the good place for the telemeter.

the second version have a large back lens, same as canon 7 lens but uncuted. the only way for coupling this lens could be by sticking a small part on the lens (if it don't turn)

the canon7 version have a large back lens, cutted for a lug to move the telemeter. If this part is fixed to the lens directly, without screw system in order to change the "speed" of movment, that mean TV lens can be used with telemeter (if there a metal part that connect lenses to the telemeter.

I've tried on, modificated by Sylvain, very good result for landscape...

The UV/IR filter ! ! oualou ! ! ! yes ! very expensive in diameter 62

 

Philippe, j'ai acheté un filtre B+W UV/IR cut en 62mm sur eBay pour mon Konika Hexanon Limited 50/1.2 à moin de 60 euros. Et il marche tres bien, aucune difference avec les filtres Leica. Peut être qu'ils ont même le 72mm

Bienvenu dans le forum.

All of these are wide open...

 

Why get fast lenses and not shot them wide open?
