I have the Distagon ZM and indeed it is wonderful optically. But because it blocks so much of the vf I cannot remember the last time I used it.
On an EVF camera like a Leica SL that would not be an issue.
P.s it is also wonderful on film. I really should suck it up and use it again.
I just use the generative A.I. in my head to remove the blockage and replace with the scene.
As I continue to acquaint myself with the new lens in the Q3 43 I’ve discovered, not unsurprisingly, that the lens is best kept to f/8 and wider… not surprising given that the lens is so critically sharp, with almost no signs of vignetting right from f/2.
By f/11, diffraction has begun to kick in, and here at f/16 it is quite noticeable. That said, my 1/80s shutter speed could also be contributing to the image’s softness. I’m far from a capable landscape photographer, so I’ sure I didn’t select the correct focus point either 😂
Here are a few pictures from a recent trip to Berlin.
First, an easy one but it was shot at Teufelsberg. It used to be an US listening station on a top of a hill in the middle of a forest but still in Berlin proper, one can go there by train and a short walk.
This place is now dedicated to street art, always changing and very interesting.
