Advertisement Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Hi plexi, Take a look here 25mm f/1.4 Summilux D. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
vic vic Posted October 1, 2006 Share #2 Posted October 1, 2006 ha ha - great, this shows the direction of 3/4 format... i think it is a lens that will convey many people to go with this format... the camera - d systme (that now really looks like system) will be much more attractive.... very well done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smep Posted October 1, 2006 Share #3 Posted October 1, 2006 The D-Summilux 25/1.4 is bigger and more heavy than the Summilux-R 50/1.4 so I don´t know why I should switch to 4/3. [ATTACH]10336[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]10337[/ATTACH] I am still waiting for a wideangle with fixed focal length for 4/3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted October 1, 2006 Share #4 Posted October 1, 2006 ha ha ha - the camera is smaller though... anyway - i dont switch myself - i use m, and have no interest neither in r nor in d... but dont u agree with me... this is some indication about where the m and the 3/4 goes :-))) one of my friends told that olympus makes now super fast zoom lens - with f2.

Guest smep Posted October 1, 2006 Share #5 Posted October 1, 2006 Vic, the M is smaller than the digilux3! I will use my M, my Hassi and my Digital Nikons. No need for anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted October 1, 2006 Share #6 Posted October 1, 2006 ha ha stefan :-)))) im with u - just change the hassy usage for rollei usage in my case :-)))))))) and no nikons in my case (and any other digi slr... the only digi camera i have by now is dlux2) u r serious - the d is bigger than m???? oh man - i thought it is a small camera :-)))) so now another reason not to buy it :-)))))))))) but it is good that leica is into it:-)))) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still waiting for a wideangle with fixed focal length for 4/3. BECAUSE it has an AUTOFOCUS mechanism in additional to ALL the mechanical parts that the Summilux-R has!

lct Posted October 1, 2006 Share #8 Posted October 1, 2006 Autofocus or not, what's the point of 4/3 if lenses are that bigger than full frame? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted October 1, 2006 Share #9 Posted October 1, 2006 Autofocus or not, what's the point of 4/3 if lenses are that bigger than full frame? They allow people who use R lenses on 4/3 cameras to get some images in focus? ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertwang Posted October 1, 2006 Share #10 Posted October 1, 2006 Autofocus or not, what's the point of 4/3 if lenses are that bigger than full frame? Different design constraints, dude! Don't compare M lenses to R lenses at all. Remember that the flange film/sensor distance, thus different optical designs. And smaller size doesn't mean better either. The M is a good weapon for certain jobs but R is still more versatile. I expect the 4/3 to deliver on that too. Try shooting 280mm on your M. Point made. Enuf said. Geezzzz...

albertwang Posted October 1, 2006 Share #11 Posted October 1, 2006 They allow people who use R lenses on 4/3 cameras to get some images in focus? ;-) Or shoot 16:9 pictures that you can't get with your M... hahahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted October 1, 2006 Share #12 Posted October 1, 2006 Different design constraints, dude!... The dude is no specialist in design constraints, he's asking what's the point of 4/3 if lenses are bigger than FF. Just to use small and light telephotos? Are they so small and light, compared to say APS ones? Thanks to teach the dude, he likes that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted October 1, 2006 Share #13 Posted October 1, 2006 Or shoot 16:9 pictures that you can't get with your M... hahahaha Hey, I can crop an 3:2 image to 16:9 it's just that I have to do it in Photoshop rather than have the camera throw the pixels away.

Are they so small and light, compared to say APS ones? Thanks to teach the dude, he likes that. Not to mention that the camera itself is as large, or larger than an APS Nikon or Canon camera and will probably produce noisier images with less conrol over DOF. I can't see the point myself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosuna Posted October 1, 2006 Share #15 Posted October 1, 2006 I suppose the D lens is a retrofocus and telecentric design. It is autofocus and superfast. Those factors explain the size. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted October 1, 2006 Share #16 Posted October 1, 2006 50/1.4 lenses are very common in the FF market. My Nikkor 50/1.4 is way smaller and lighter than this 24/1.4 in spite of autofocus. I know it's not a Leica but there is something i don't quite understand in this 4/3 thing i must say. I thought it was a geat idea to get compact combos but we are far from compactness here...

cbretteville Posted October 1, 2006 Share #17 Posted October 1, 2006 Maybe it's a Leicasonic thing. Why the huge 69mm diameter on the D2's vario-'cron when the sensor is so small? Accordinf to Leica it was needed to cope with vignetting. Does the 24 'lux also have OIS, if so that will add some stuff as well. - C Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipotto Posted October 1, 2006 Share #18 Posted October 1, 2006 Does the 24 'lux also have OIS, if so that will add some stuff as well. - C Nope, the 25mm Summilux D, relies on its wide open performance to combat camera shake. Pity the 4/3s have a mirror, or camera shake would be less of any issue to start with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, completely different views... Shooting 16:9 is not the same as cropping to 16:9. Previsualization is the big step. If I shoot in 16:9 then I see it in its own terms. 3:2 cropped is just not the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted October 2, 2006 Share #20 Posted October 2, 2006 Fair enough, the way I tend to work is see something that I think will work as a panoramic image and then crop it to the appropriate ratio after I've taken the shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
