hjernemadsen Posted September 13, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Have anyone tried this combination. Is the focusshift less pronounced with the M9 Sincerely Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Hi hjernemadsen, Take a look here 35 mm summilux ASPH and M9?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
yanidel Posted September 13, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 13, 2009 Took a few shots with this combination, here is one : Street Photography in Paris Blog Archive Leica M9 Launch today, sample picture It was wide open so no shift. But anyways, mine is back at the dealer for a check-up. I found that the center part of my M8 images were significantly less sharp than the sides at infinity with it ! Probably something wrong in it ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrice Posted September 13, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 13, 2009 You should really subscribe to Sean Reid's reviews as he covers this aspect very thoroughly in the first part of his M9 Review. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdb Posted September 13, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 13, 2009 You should really subscribe to Sean Reid's reviews as he covers this aspect very thoroughly in the first part of his M9 Review. I have looked at his review and did not read anything regarding focus shift with this lens. Doubt he's tested this yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrice Posted September 13, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 13, 2009 Oh geez sorry, I must've read the 35 lux review around the same time as I read the M9 review and they blended in my head! It should be less noticeable than the M8 at the same size print, but it's a result of the lens, not the sensor so I'd say at 100% the backfocus on the M9 will be identical.

noah_addis Posted September 14, 2009 Share #11 Posted September 14, 2009 From my very brief test with the M9 I had no problems with my 35 'Lux Asph. In fact I'm pretty sure I'll use it as my main lens once I can get my hands on a couple of M9s. I didn't shoot a ruler or anything, but all of the 50+ images I made with the M9 were with the 35 Lux Asph, and not one was soft. It was beautiful at F/1.4 but the images were also sharp at F/2 through F/5.6. Didn't stop down much past that due to low light, but by F/8 there is a lot of DOF anyway. Although having said all this my copy of the lens performs well on my M8 bodies too. I would imagine if your lens focus shifts on an M8 you'll get similar results on the M9. The only difference is that, at a given print size, you'll be enlarging less. So perhaps your results will be better. If your lens shifts focus badly, I would send it back to Leica for adjustment.

Daniel Ortego Posted September 15, 2009 Share #13 Posted September 15, 2009 i have .. works perfectly a few on my stream Flickr: moogibang's Photostream Based on comments elsewhere, it has been stated the silver 35-lux' tends to have less focus shift than the black version. Which one do you have, and was your lens sent to Leica for adjustment? Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
