Smart....why do you think I am rarely posting on forums? Indeed, much more happy to discuss photographs...than to argue with fanboys. Do not want to prove any point. But...when people try to tell me that this 55 mm lens is a geat landscape lens and that it is all about the photographer.....then I really feel sorry. But that is fine.....I really do not care what people use. I just expressed my opinion that having MF glass on AF body with no possibility to replace the focusing screen is useless for portrait and street photography. Also.....people say then can really see without problems whether eyes are in focus with 35 mm f 1.4........really? This is becoming silly.....
But I really do not care what people use. Leica is designed for MF, so it makes sense.
There are several point to make first:
If you can\'t focus because of focus screen, then, buy them, there are tons of after market or OEM screen available.
If you are talking about focus 35mm/50mm at f1.4, then I suggest you train your eyes and skill and not try to put your formula to generalize universal case. please don\'t put it like stupid, or unbelievable etc etc..... for anyone buy this lens, it is simply not true and childish. I was having trouble with 35f1.4 zeiss, but recently, I have found I have no problem with leica R 35, 50, 80 lux, I don\'t think it is because of lens but operator improved and I dont give enough time for that lens to understand its performance.
If you are professional portrait, kids, family, wedding photographer need take thousands photos per day, by all means have your Canikon ready, I must admit manual focus require a lot more brain power, eyes, mind and hand collaborationetc, and IQ advantage is not obvious to regular customer. But for people care, why is so hard for you to understand the value of the lens? Saying this lens useless is simply WRONG and no back ground for that even for portrait.
To be honest, the lens is not for everyone, might not for you, but for some, this is the 135mm format lens people have been waiting for. (for me, If I buy it I only buy it for its 1.4 performance)
I dont know why you say f1.4 portrait or street is imposible :
80lux
50lux
35lux
I have a lot more like these, I know they all family type of photos,( in bottom of photographic level for SOME professional I guess) but I am sure your beautiful model won\'t move faster than my kids.....
Just want prove you wrong. I will remove the photo later to keep thread theme.
