I enjoy getting out into the local wood with the M10-P & Voigtlander 35mm color skopar. Just a great small package.

Hi, Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) in Wiesbaden-Biebrich/D (Leica M9 - VOIGTLÄNDER Super Wide-Heliar 4,5/15 v3 f 5,6 crop; level gauge) :







Distorted cars in the corners :









I wanted to show the difference between 2D distortion-free (typically measured) and real-life 3D distortions.

Nothing to get excited about, but to be kept in mind. One should not use a lens like this for group pics, positioning one's wife in the corner. She will never forgive you ( ) ....

Q-P

L1020027 by Trevor, on Flickr

 

[ecniv]

Question. Using the m10 in bright sulight, with or without evf the live view turns itself off.
Is this normal? If so it's very irritating.

Edit. Seems to be the leitz 135 in sunlight, popped up with a message "no lens attached"
Going test this theory with other lenses

 

[Adam Bonn]

been playing with C1 again this weekend (normally I'd use LR, even after buying C1 ) based purely on well I bought the clucking thing, might as well use it and I wanted to see if I could sort of match my C1 ""look"" to my LR output

No I don't know if I've managed it either!

C1 is so much faster and better with noise than LR. But such a PITA to use!

Anways went to the beach last week (week before maybe?) nearly got hit by a big wave... I should stick to street!!

Hi, rosemary in my garden ... (Leica M9 - VOIGTLÄNDER Ultra Wide-Heliar 5,6/12 asph. screw-mount, f 5,6; crop) :







( This lens can be used even close up. However, due to the screw-mount to M-adapter, there is no metering. I used this 12mm lens for architecture, and was quite happy with the results.)

(I wouldn't see this as a "proper" use, but it can be done. If one is far enough away, the wheels appear round.)

Hi, architecture in Mainz-Marienborn/D ... (Leica M9 - VOIGTLÄNDER Ultra Wide-Heliar 5,6/12 asph. screw-mount, f 8; crop) :







(The M9 with a 12mm lens is not much fun to use: no IS, no level gauge, no live view ... I fitted my level gauge in the hot shoe, held the M9 against my stomach, and tried my best ... ---

I could have used my SONY A7R2. - What I like: the small size of the 12mm Heliar. One can always have it in a pocket ... ---)

 

[ecniv]

Current findings on m10.
Feels great.
Iso options vary, but seems to be more sensitive, and ok with higher isos, experiments to follow in lightbulb/dimly lit areas.
Sensor dust, wow! Even faster than the m240. Typically i didnt bring the cleaning kit. Sigh.

Grid lines help

A few problems with live view and the leitz in bright sunlight. I will have check if the lens is moving on focus and tge camera detects no lens, so turns off evf... Irritating.

Overall, worth it i think.

Sky in LR - heal tool... hmmm a bit of dust...


BBQ - 135mm I think - iso 3200

(The last time in Biebrich I had the 18mm ZEISS Distagon with me, which was not wide enough for the stairs. 12mm was better for this ... )

Hi, to be sure which lens I used, I take a pic when changing lenses. - In the film days I did not do this, because I thought it was a waste, and I had fewer lenses ... :

 

[ecniv]

nice... might try that..

 

[footman]

Is it possible to identify this old Leica from this photo or do I need more information? It belongs to my daughters partner, he says it "doesn't work" and wants to get a rough idea of it's value before getting quotes to fix it.
Thanks for looking.
