wizard Posted August 5, 2009 Share #84 Posted August 5, 2009 Actually, that's probably not that easy. My guess would be Summilux 50 ASPH. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBA Posted August 5, 2009 Share #85 Posted August 5, 2009 The 50 Summilux Asph. was my first thought, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it were the 35 Summilux Asph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted August 5, 2009 Share #87 Posted August 5, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Join the Summilux 50 Asph... expecially if it's a M8 shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtZ Posted August 5, 2009 Share #88 Posted August 5, 2009 Cropped or full frame camera? M8 (1.33x croped camera). ISO 320, 1/45" Hint: The scene happens in the afternoon, in a dark rainy day, at Chatenay-Malabry Town Hall and light is terrible. This shot had to be taken (and was taken) very quickly (no time to tune focus and/or change settings) otherwise it would have been lost.

lct Posted August 5, 2009 Share #89 Posted August 5, 2009 Thanks. I think of an asph lens as well but i hesitate between 50/1.4 and 35/1.4. With film i would say 50/1.4. With the R-D1 35/1.4 but with the M8, i'm not sure. Given the shallow DoF at short distance (about 10cm with a 50 i guess) i will choose the 35/1.4 but kudos to you if you did it with the 50.

JBA Posted August 5, 2009 Share #90 Posted August 5, 2009 I'm going to say 35 Summilux Asph. wide open, since the focus would be somewhat more forgiving than the 50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB23 Posted August 5, 2009 Share #91 Posted August 5, 2009 50 pre asph anything. Could even be a clean summarit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted August 6, 2009 Share #92 Posted August 6, 2009 I drop in a Summilux 75mm 1.4, but I'm not all that sure. The OOF seems typical of the Lux, but the composition and cut do not take me to the 50 and even less to the 35. 75 Lux 1.4 to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted August 6, 2009 Share #93 Posted August 6, 2009 ... but I also wouldn't be surprised if it were the 35 Summilux Asph. Assuming it was film, that would have been my second guess . However, now that we have some more information (M8, so it is cropped), I'd say the lens was probably even wider than 35mm. I change my vote to the Summicron 28 ASPH.

Fokalfissur Posted August 6, 2009 Share #94 Posted August 6, 2009 If it is a 35mm it should be a f 1.4. If it's a 50mm I think it is max f 2.0. As I don't think that ArtZ is 2,20 m tall nor used a chair for the shot I don't think it is a 75 mm. So my guess is: a current 50mm cron. A lens I don't own.

Andy If it were film, my guess would be the 50 'Lux Asph., but I understood it was the M8 at the outset, so my guess remains the 35 'Lux Asph.

ArtZ Posted August 6, 2009 Share #96 Posted August 6, 2009 ...As I don't think that ArtZ is 2,20 m tall nor used a chair for the shot... I'm just 1M89 (6'3") Sorry (but I'm still groing up!) Honestly, when I posted this picture I would never expected you'll go from 28mm to 75mm. I thought it will be easier to find out. Ladies and Gentlemen, And the winner(s) is(are)...

rolu Posted August 6, 2009 Share #97 Posted August 6, 2009 I join NB23 in guessing a 50 pre asph. Maybe a Lux 50 open, the summarit I don't know enough - Or Noctilux???, maybe at 1,2 - 1,4? BTW NB23, great Lux 21 shots !!! (I was thinking about a Lux24, but you made the decision now much harder for me) Regards rolu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZDavid Posted August 6, 2009 Share #98 Posted August 6, 2009 First I thought a 35 'Lux. But not ASPH. If it is, there's certainly nothing harsh or clinical about it, as is sometimes claimed for this lens! Surely not a 50 pre-ASPH again. Back to the 35. OK, 35 pre-ASPH 'cron wide open.

adan Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share #99 Posted August 6, 2009 50 f/1.4 ASPH for ArtZ' bride. The "perspective" (yeah, I know) looks short-tele-ish, but not as much as a 75 would show, IMHO. Bokeh is bright-ring in the foreground (see pen handle reflections) - the 50 'lux pre-ASPH would show bright-rings in background, if any, and be softer at a wide aperture near the frame edge (eyes). Assuming a Leica lens - I just don't know the signatures of Noktons and Planars enough to rule them in or out. Not the 1.5 Sonnar, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtZ Posted August 7, 2009 Share #100 Posted August 7, 2009 Hello World! It's time to reveal the secret. Some of you have been very close to but nobody really hit it. It's an aspherical lens, it's a 50mm lens at 1:1.5... it's a CV Nokton 50/1.5 ASPH. I thought you will find it out because I've claimed here many times (even in the last few days) the Nokton 50/1.5 is my favorite lens for portraits on the M8. I bought this lens in 2007 following Sean Reid advice. I haven't regret it a single second. As I don't use much 50mm focal on the M8, I have only a Summicron-M 50 and the Nokton. The Summilux-M 50 ASPH is a great lens but for a portrait taken with a M8... I still prefer the Nokton. Next... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
