Re: Leica M8/M9/X1 Picture Thread


KL, great shots!

Joshua, I really like #3, but I find the added vignetting a bit distracting.

Come on Luka, that wasn\'t necessary . From your crop it doesn\'t even show the slightest hint of glow like the 35 does. That is very impressive.

My D700 is begging to be sold for a 50 Lux ASPH


The glow on the 35 is due to uncorrected spherical aberrations. The ASPH design counteracts it but apparently more successfully on the 50 Lux. The most interesting lens in that respect is the Zeiss 50/1.4 Planar ZE/ZF. It\'s very detailed wide open but suffers heavily from SA. So at the same time you get a very detailed image that looks very unsharp.

If you are serious about selling your D700 and going completely M, then IMO your priority should be to replace your M8 with an M9. No sense in getting all these great lenses and use them on a cropper.

Anyway, I took the 50 out for another test shoot. I tried shooting some street shots with it as well. I have confirmed that I still suck at it, regardless of lens
