Thank you genji,
probably because I prefer working in B&W... The light was poor, rubbish. In B&W, I can do what I like without breaking the atmosphere...

Just Leitaxed my new old 90mm Elmarit-R (Ver I) and ran a few test shots this past Sunday. This one is of my son after eating a plain pancake with some barley tea. D750 & 90/2.8 wide open

Hello Alpha_Geist,
nice shot, nice bokeh, any vigneting with this lens?
Hi Teiki!
I had to re-open Lightroom and check my other shots for signs of vignetting as I didn't remember seeing any when I processed the very few photos I took. After reviewing some photos, I still can't see much, if any, in my wide open shots. I'd have to shoot a plain white wall or muslin backdrop to get a better sense of the vignetting. However, as I currently see it, it's almost non-existent. The bokeh is very smooth and pleasing for sure! I'll have to shoot some still life as I intended this to be one of my portrait lenses. I'll share more when I have time and my kids aren't driving me crazy. :P

Looking from the Egg Rock overlook Mount Desert Island, Acadia NP, Maine at Egg Rock (Island) and Egg Rock Light (and appurtenant buildings and structures) and the Maine mainland. Egg Rock Lighthouse which is outside of Acadia NP, is about 2 miles from Mount Desert Island and sits at the mouth of Frenchman Bay.

Took the 90mm Elmarit-R out for a spin earlier today on the Sacramento State University campus. First shot was likely at f/8. Second shot was either f/4 or f/5.6. Last shot was either f/11 or f/16. I don't remember.
Edit: I'm seeing some kind of (compression?) artifacts on the first shot that I don't see when looking at the original in Lightroom. Is this due to how Flickr compresses the file uploads? Should I disable a specifc Export setting in Lightroom that might be exaggerating this?
I'm surprised how well the Elmarit R 35mm can do portraits. Exceptional sharpness at all apertures and excellent color tonality certainly helps. If only it went to f/2 (yes, I know, then it would be the 'cron).

Just joined the Leica R club Bought a Leica 28mm f/2.8 Elmarit-R II and took my first test shots going home from work today. I really like the rendering and colors of the lens. Still very early days, but I have seen a lot of nice pictures taken with this lens, especially in this tread! So I am very optimistic.
This lens seems to make even boring light conditions and subjects look more interesting and real.
Excellent choice! The Elmarit 28mm/2.8 is a gem in the Leica lens world and perhaps the king of all wide-angle lenses. You'll enjoy using this lens and be surprised by just how detail oriented this lens is. Happy shooting.
