A7ii with VL Nokton 1.5/50

I have and like the CZ 55mm. The VL 50 is obviously a duplicate in terms of FL. But for a while I've been longing for a manual lens of some retro "character" with strong performance, and I think now I found it. Manual focus with a genuine manual lens makes for a different experience in the street as the way you frame and focus are quite different from AF. I think this lens will be a keeper. It also made me keen to try other VL lenses

My hit rate is low as of now, as peaking doesn't work well in all situations and I don't use magnification as it slows the process down.

I rather like the first one of these four. It's quite abstract, but anchored in reality by the rocks and pebbles.

If it were me, I'd very slightly exaggerate the dynamic "push/pull" of (very) slightly more saturated cool blue color on the top, and make the bottom section slightly warmer tint -- like the color of Raw Umber (almost a true cast bronze color -- deep, deep, dark yellow-brown -- almost with a hint of yellow-green; almost a sepia, but not so far as orange-based).

Zeiss should be paying you a commission for selling so many of their Makro-Planar 100mm f/2 lenses. I know I've been tempted many times by you! Amazing...

Thanks Mike.. you too kind

All of those Iceland shots would be superb printed Ronny.

You could also print this particular snail one (as large as possible perhaps) and hang it above your bedhead! That could work well I think! ........................................................(forgive my sense of humour!)

Nice series.

I love manually focusing the Nokton 50/1.5 as well, but I can tell you that focus peaking is usually only an approximation. If you want real sharpness, you must use magnification. With a bit of practice, it can be done fairly quickly. But even if it is slower than peaking, your hit rate will be much higher.

Ronny, you're brilliant! Yes, that's what I was talking about. It looks so other-worldly and abstract.

You can try desaturating the whole (or any portion), or likewise increase the saturation.

I'll warn you, that when you make a change, walk away for a few minutes, then sneak back up on it and steal a peek. Otherwise you get accustomed to the +/- saturation changes, and you might not like it days, weeks, months later.

It's a painting technique, that if you mix a blue (such as ultramarine blue) with a brown (such as burnt umber), you get an almost perfect neutral from the pigments, resulting in everything from white (adding white) to almost pure black, and all the greys in between -- just like your middle area there.

Anyhow, it's just offered for a different perspective and impact. There is no "right" answer. Thanks for trying out my suggestion, I'm honored.

Thanks for the encouragement, Ronny - sometimes when out there I think that its just not the landscape for a 60+ year old to trek about in, but I only have to get home and see the images, and I'm planning my next trip. Here are three more from the same trip - all were taken on New Years Eve...

-John

Edit - found another copy of the first image that is not so clipped.




Upper falls on the Makatote River - Ultron 21 - (shows highlight clipping from the smooth reflections app)






Lower falls on the Makatote River - VM Distagon 35






Both falls from below at sunset - Elmarit-M 90 - my last image for 2016!

Fantastic work everyone! This is my favorite thread on my favorite forum on the web.

My time in La Jolla/San Diego is soon coming to an end, so I'm making an effort to get out and photograph as much as life with two small kids allows. These days there is great potential for fantastic sunset shots, as long as the high-altitude cloud cover and the fog of the low-altitude marine layer play along.

Never being satisfied drives one to improve. Having said that, remember that we are all our own harshest critics. Much of your stuff rocks!
