Advertisement Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Hi Guest leicaphotos, Take a look here people from this week. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Michael Hiles Posted March 13, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 13, 2009 This is a nice rig. It is too bad that this kind of thing is deemed to be old fashioned and clearly not sexy. Leica and Leitz produced a range of odd looking things that work supremely well and, as far as I know, constitute the most competent photo system ever. Lumpy - yes. Works? Better than anything. Perhaps it was all too sensible and not marketable, like the shoes your mother bought for you when you were a kid. I wonder why we do not have a modern Dual-range Summicron. The original is simply fabulous. Yes, I know about the 90mm macro-elmar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a neat add on to a great lens --- love the shoes analogy --- it has been fun playing with some new perspectives for photos using this -- leica dropped the ball by not producing accessories like this for the summarit, the elmarit, the 90 summicron, and such --- the combination of collapsible summicron and sooky-m make for some great images --- still getting the feel for the ultra narrow depth of field --- I've not figured out quite if this changes the depth of field and what it really ends up being -- I've been shooting it wide open at f2 -- waiting for some bright days to try it at f8 and such Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted March 13, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 13, 2009 For interest, there is an online depth of field calculator -Online Depth of Field Calculator. Might be useful for close distances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
