Re: Light Lens Lab 50mm f/1.9 "Rigid-ZS6" Review


Beautiful day for a road trip to Talkeetna Alaska, a quaint town on the railway to Denali, can be overrun with cruisers dropped off for some hours but we got there early this morning. The super 6 rigid was a lens of the day, low contrast version, good 3D pop with environmental portrait, landscape is fine, not apo summicron 50, but stopped down to 5.6 can be pressed into service. Walking around town I mostly used F2.8 for a little stopdown contrast and thought that looked good through the M11 EV! view finder.

Very filmlike through the viewfinder, enhanced with Cobalt presets mostly kodachrome, and is in my opinion very good for this type of street/tourism photography. My impression is this would be a great lens with a character vintage scene- trip to Europe or something. I would have liked lower angle light, high in the sky Sun synergistic with the low contrast render.

Bright sun, I didn't think flaring was any issue.
