No, this is one shot. The s5 has a "hardware" HDR. This makes it very difficult to over-expose the ligths. And as a rule, in the post-processing from fuji I stretch the shadows and a little "paint", and indeed with any other camera in the landscape.


Wow.. I knew that S5 has really good DR, but this is really incredible. Wish they made some 24 mpix version.

I can do similar from Nikon d700, but will be not so natural as from Fuji. And regarding colours Fuji better of course

p.s. many people dreamed about FF-fuji but this fantasy only

Just Leitax'd my 100/2.8 APO for my D800E and can still use it with adapter on my 1ds3.
This lens definitely keeps up with the D800E!

Very neat lighting and amazing sharpness and colours! Is that natural light or did you do something there?

Lighting is magic.

Thanks everyone!
This is 100% natural sunlight.
This water lily is one of my favorite flowers to photograph.
I have had this plant for two years now and was very happy to get it to recover after almost dying last winter. The yellow pollen in the middle glows with the light from the sun and they only stay open when direct sunlight is shining on them, otherwise the flower closes up.
The 100 APO with the 36MP sensor renders detail on the pollen crystals on the stamens.
Thanks David at Leitax, the Nikon replacement mount is very solid with no play.
It will be more solid on my 1ds3 too as I find the Nikon to Canon adapters to be more solid than Leica to Canon.

that's an awesome shot Wayne, i'd imagine it'd be unbelievable if printed 12x18". any chance to show a little larger?

Today remade Vario-Elmarit-R 28-90 ASPH for Nikon mount. The task was daunting, but all decided in the end

If anyone is interested, I can publish here a compare on landscape with Leica R28/2,8E55 on f/2.8, 8 and 11, and other shots on the diaphragm f/8 and 11 at the other focal lengths on the Nikon D800

It was a job for the client, not my lens. I just thought about it as an lightweight alternative travel-lens for the replacement my R28 on the landscape, but I changed my mind. R28 the best of the best by my opinion

Hm.. sorta expected that 28-90 to be much better than this.

Now I understand why you think R28/2.8 is best of best.. that shot wide-open is really impressive.

Wonder how would shorter 35-70/4 compare to that 28-90?

Sharpness across the field, CA, the minimum focusing distance. All not in favor of R28-90, unfortunately.

About R35-70, this man was going to bring this lens to Nikon-adaptation, but at the last minute decided to leave it for his film camera
