sclamb Posted September 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can you guess what it is? I swapped my 24/3.8 and 18/3.8 for it. The 18mm was just too wide for me on the M9. Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcoombs Posted September 24, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 24, 2009 To swap those two lenses, even up, it must have been a nocti. Right? Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug_m Posted September 24, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 24, 2009 24 lux. I'll bet your M9 I'm right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerimager Posted September 24, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 24, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm hoping it's the 21 lux. You said you cropped it, so it's possible. I've seen some 24 lux images that have this look, if the 21 lux does as well, that's the one I'd go for, (I love my 24 elmarit for one). Anyway, lovely image.....Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spylaw4 Posted September 24, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 24, 2009 Well I know for sure as I was there! Very nice image BTW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted September 24, 2009 Share #10 Posted September 24, 2009 Maybe. But to judge from the image alone, it could just as well have been a 50mm Summilux ASPH, or even a Summicron, at about 2.8. Now show us some pictures that do not need exif data to tell us what lens they were made with. This means that the image geometry will tell us -- not the photographer panting excitedly in our ear. "Look Ma, I did it with a 24 Summilux, no hands!" I have not seen any such images yet. The old man from the Age of the Standard Lens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Belichtungszeit: 1 / 60 Blitz: Blitz wurde nicht ausgelöst Brennweite: 24 ISO-Empfindlichkeit: 400 that´s what it say´s in your pic, so its the 1.4 24mm?

sclamb Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted September 24, 2009 Doh, I knew I should have deleted the exif Yes, it is the 24/1.4. I used the 18/3.8 a lot on my M8.2 (as it was effectively a 24mm) and found it wider than I would like on the M9. I already had the 24/3.8, but figured if I was going to trade the 18mm I may as well trade the 24/3.8 too and get the 24/1.4, a lens I have wanted since it was announced. Wide open performance, as in the pic I posted, is pretty good and anything at f/4-f/5.6 is just wonderful. So I have the 24 Lux, the 50 Lux, and the 35 and 75 Summarits. I would love the 35 Lux to make a nice fast lens set (and the 75 Cron would be lovely too!), but I am happy with the Summarits for now. So I think I have my M9 kit sorted for the time being.

Overgaard Posted September 24, 2009 Share #14 Posted September 24, 2009 It's outstanding as a 400 ISO grainless, and a crop from 24/1.4 fully open. How is the 24/1.4 against the light fully open and stepped down to 4.0..? I'm looking at the 21/1.4 but "everybody" seem to talk just about the 24/1.4. One main reason to get the new Summiluxes would be to use them fully open and often against the light. That's why I'm asking. Is it "milky" fully open or is it the same as at 4 I could Imageine the f/4 would create quite a 3D effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it "milky" fully open or is it the same as at 4 I could Imageine the f/4 would create quite a 3D effect. Having read Sean's review of the 24 Lux and seeing the fringing he got wide open I did lots of shots at the dealer at things like lamp shades and dark flowers in a bright shop window, the kind of stuff that would show fringing. However, in all those pictures, whether at f/1.4 or smaller, I could not get it to occur, and my own opinion was that for 99% of pictures it probably wouldn't be a problem. The picture I posted is fully open. With a close focus distance of 0.7m you can get quite creamy backgrounds although not anything like with a 50 Lux or a 75 Cron. As the DOF is relatively large at f/1.4 (e.g. compared to a 50 Lux) you will always be able to make out what an object is. However, I find the OOF areas to be very nicely rendered. I only picked it up yesterday so I have more pictures to take to get a better feel for the lens, but I can say that at f/4 onwards it is beautifully crisp and has good contrast.

wizard Posted September 24, 2009 Share #17 Posted September 24, 2009 Whatever lens it was (and now we know which lens it was), judging from the example above, this lens sure draws very, very well. Enjoy it! Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
