Great shots, BJ!
Do any of you have experience with the Canon 50/1.4 on Leica M? I am curious about rangefinder accuracy 📷
I actually do - using it both on my M3 and my M-E 240. It is very accurate. I have the LTM version of this lens and use it with simple LTM/M adapter. Needless to say, I can also use it on my Leica IIIc camera.
Some examples on my M-E 240.
At f/1.4 focused with rangefinder. Love the swirly bokeh
At f/1.4 focused with rangefinder. I took this one to see how the colors turn out - no complaints
At f/1.4 focused with rangefinder. I tested the flare performance here - it doesn't look bad!
At f/1.4 focused with rangefinder. Taken with B&W film mode in camera but PP with SilverEfex from the DNG file
At f/8.0 focused with rangefinder. Taken as decribed above
Below a few photos taken with my M3 and on Ilford PanF+50 film. Not much PP done after scanning other than just minor dust spot removal and a bit increase of contrast.
At f/5.6
At f/2.8
At f/1.4 or 2.0. I tested the MFD of 1 meter here
At f/2.0
