p.16 #1Through Walter Mandler Glass (on FF Only)
I've admired the images on this thread from the sidelines for a long while now! I think threads on FM have "sold" me all my camera gear - if not for this thread I wouldn't have looked into R glass. I was quite apprehensive about this 80mm over the 90 cron cause i've seen fantastic images from either, and so far when the shot is right everything from this 80lux makes my heart flutter. Must be this novel, new love feeling...I hope it lasts. Focusing has been easier than I thought it would be. Down this slippery slope I go

Stopped down to something like f2.4, missed focus by a bit

Sometimes I wonder if I should post in the R-glass thread or this. I feel this set (or some of it) shows the 80lux's flaws as well as qualities which make it unique as a Mandler lens. I can't get enough of it.

Looks like the 90mmTele Elmarit f2.8 is on the list so here are a couple via the A7r

PS
Those specks in the centre of the picture are not dust on the lens or sensor, they are the RAF Red Arrows aerobatic display team who happened to be passing!

Here are some images cross posted in the Sony A7/A7r/A7s Image thread and the Leica R thread and taken last evening just before and in Magic Hour along Carpet Road, New Tripoli, PA. All images taken with my tripod mounted Leica R 180mm f3.4 Apo Telyt lens and my A7r and processed in LR5.6

Jako - thanks - your images amongst others on the Mandler, Leica R and A7 series threads are a real inspiration to create better images.

Jako - Yup fellow Canuck and just north of the border.
As I said I enjoy and find inspiration from the 3 main FM threads I visit.
I also try and figure out the location of your shots (usually unsuccessfully)
Keep up the good work (this applies to others too of course)

Love the b&w's, D, especially the one of Winston (in that shot he looks like Churchill being told there's no more booze).

thanks! i had forgotten until recently how much babies resemble drunks...

here's another shot from 35 lux wide open processed two different ways, can't decide which i prefer. the first is my standard b&w street/landscape preset (the one used on the above photos) and the second is my standard b&w portrait preset (used on the family portraits i posted earlier in the thread).

Yeah, first one. It gives the best separation of the tree to the background, though much of that is still lost at this size.

If I had to pick I like the first one better, as I like the contrast. I find it a bit dark, however, and at least on my monitor a lot of detail is lost in the shadows. I like the shadows better on the second one for this reason, so maybe you can get both with a slightly different strategy.
