lct Posted August 7, 2009 Share #101 Posted August 7, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Congrats for the accurate focusing! The CV lens looks quite competent as well. How is bokeh with it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NB23 Posted August 7, 2009 Share #102 Posted August 7, 2009 Yes, 50mm was obvious! I don't own the nokton but I was sure of one thing: This image wasn't from a leica 50mm asph. I was expecting a sharper image from the Nokton, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted August 7, 2009 Share #103 Posted August 7, 2009 Ok, new merry-go-round, my turn. Here you are a very simple one. Guess what... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemal_mumcu Posted August 7, 2009 Share #104 Posted August 7, 2009 Well, we're not given much in the way of hints but I'd say digital and asph technology. A 50 or greater. Official guess - 75 cron but I'm really guessing at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted August 7, 2009 Share #105 Posted August 7, 2009 Leica lens or not? Cropped or FF body? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted August 7, 2009 Share #106 Posted August 7, 2009 I'd say a suprluminous non Leica... could be CV 35 1,2 or, if a bit longer... why not a Hexanon ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBA Posted August 8, 2009 Share #107 Posted August 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) The other day on another thread, you said you wouldn't photograph your grandma with a 50 Summilux but would use a latest version 50 Elmarit collapsible instead. Based on that and without any other clues, I'm going to guess it's that lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtZ Posted August 8, 2009 Share #108 Posted August 8, 2009 Enrico, I assume the lens is wide opened (ISO and speed can also help) but without crops at 100% to see the DOF and the OOF area, it's very difficult to guess is such small image. My first guess should be a 50 mm lens (Summicron or Elmarit) Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtZ Posted August 8, 2009 Share #109 Posted August 8, 2009 Oops, I've just realized I wrote "Elmarit" in my previous message. I meant the Elmar 50/2.8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBA Posted August 8, 2009 Share #110 Posted August 8, 2009 Oops! You're right. I meant Elmar too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted August 10, 2009 Share #111 Posted August 10, 2009 I join you guys and say Elmar-M 2.8/50. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted August 10, 2009 Share #112 Posted August 10, 2009 None of you is right, my friends. Given that I will not be able to be on line in the next few days will give you the solution: Summicron-C 40mm f2. No Asph, no crop, just converted to B&W. Surprising little lens, isn't it. C'mon with the next one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtZ Posted August 10, 2009 Share #113 Posted August 10, 2009 None of you is right, my friends.

C'mon with the next one. Enrico, caro, I was wrong just by 10mm! My first guess was the Summicron 50 or, maybe, an Elmar 50/2.8. As I said previously, considering the DOF (even if you didn't post a cropped area of the image at 100%, for instance the face of the lady, to help us... naughty boy...), this picture had been taken at least at f/2. Who's next? Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share #114 Posted August 29, 2009 With crop details for focused area and bokeh. Wide-open. For extra credit: Should I buy this lens for $600US?

Guest BigSplash Posted August 29, 2009 Share #115 Posted August 29, 2009 Can you ID the lens used for the image below? Top half is the full frame, bottom half is a crop. Hint: Leica M camera Answer must be as complete as possible, including brand, name, focal length, max. aperture (e.g. Leitz Noctilux 50mm f/1.2, Cosina-Voigtlander Heliar 75mm f/2.5, Canon Serenar 85 f/1.9, Leica Summicron-M-ASPH 75 f/2, etc.) Ready, set, go! It is a Noctilux 50mm f0.95... In my view the focal length is about 50mm, and the photo has a huge depth of field. The high degree of contrast suggests an aspheric modern lens.

JBA Posted August 29, 2009 Share #116 Posted August 29, 2009 Frank, even if you add another zero to the figure Andy quoted, I would not deliberate for even a second about buying an 0.95 Nocti at that price. I believe Andy is talking about the CV Nokton 50 f1.5. Indeed, if that's the lens that produced those images, I should probably also by the one I saw today for about the same price.

wilfredo Posted August 29, 2009 Share #117 Posted August 29, 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... I'm late in the game, but I suspected this lens and aperture, but mostly because I know you own one of these. These experiments demonstrate the fine virtues of the gentile lenses (non-Leica lenses).

Whatever the brand, I don't think you can go wrong with this lens unless you can get a better deal on a used one through E-bay ;-). I'd rather pay $600.00 and not $10,0000.00, but that's just me :-).

adan Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share #120 Posted August 29, 2009 Just to clarify - post #114 is with a whole different lens, not the same lens as post #1. New test. What lens was used? Hint: M8 camera. Hint #2: Leitz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
