    Leica Inexpensive 28?

    The 7Artisans may be large but I am very happy with mine, but then I also have a 28 Elmarit when I want small. This was shot wide open at min focus distance of .7 meter on a Sigma fp straight jpg out of the camera I just cropped a little off the bottom that was empty space.

    Sony Does anyone have a link to a lens diagram for the 35mm f 2.0 Sonnar?

    I wonder if that is because the rear element is only 2mm from the sensor, I read that someplace but I don't remember where. With retrofocus you usually have the reverse telephoto design to give you a greater distance between the rear element and the film/sensor plane to clear a mirror assy...

    Sony Does anyone have a link to a lens diagram for the 35mm f 2.0 Sonnar?

    Well WAZU over at DPREVIEW came up with the lens diagram Here's the link to it. http://4.static.img-dpreview.com/files/p/E~forums/54977197/0bab08e7ae4a4985b96468aaea7c8ddd Plus here is the page where the diagram came from appears to be a Sony Global english web site, so I guess it's out of...

    Sony Does anyone have a link to a lens diagram for the 35mm f 2.0 Sonnar?

    Hi Does anyone know where one can find a diagram of the Lens on the RX-1/r? I asked Zeiss and they told me to get in touch with Sony as they are the ones that make the lens. Well I e-mailed Sony and they told me to call the help line, that was the usual adventure of going to India and the...

    Sony Monochrome Full frame RX camera ?

    I got to borrow a Leica Monochrom for a day and loved how easy the files were to work with, this was before I got my RX-1. I am a Leica film shooter since 1972, it's just a hobby for me so cost has to equal value as I am not rich. And as stated above a Leica digital M camera does not make $$...

    Mutlu, No it's a camera strap, not a wrist strap easy mistake to make. I have a wrist strap on my old Nex 3, it's ok but I found out I am not a wrist strap kind of guy. So I have stuck with neck straps since then. With that LARMOR lcd protector do you still have the auto brightness work on...

    Sony New guy with questions....

    Well the owner sent me three batteries plus the OEM hood and the Sony plug in wall charger. I was not expecting the oe hood so I had already ordered the Fotodiox kit with the hand grip and the hood. It also came with a AA camera strap, while a nice strap, too me it seems to big so I have placed...

    Sony New guy with questions....

    Well my RX-1 showed up this week and yesterday was my first day out with the camera. I am trying to use it with my old Leica 35mm OVF and the lcd turned off and just going by the beep to let me know when it's in focus. I only missed two shots yesterday with missing focus, I will most likely...

    Oldwino, I still have my Sigma SD-9 (it works) and my SD-14, really nice files it you stayed at iso 100 with the 9 and did not go over 400 with the 14. People would always look at my prints and ask how I got them so sharp without them looking weird, plus they made really nice b&w prints only...

    Sony New guy with questions....

    The only way I could afford was to go with a used one, so no extended warr at this time. But If I have to send it in for anything I will try and get the warr..... I never get rid of anything ( I should) but with Leica's I learned early on to never sell a lens when you want it again it will...

    Sony New guy with questions....

    Well I just hit the button, I should have the camera by next weekend. Already ordered a extra set of batteries, now the grip and hood kit and that's it. Let's see if I get buyers remorse I hope not, I have been going back and forth over this for months... Just think I could have been out...

    Sony New guy with questions....

    So now with the latest rumor of the new RX2 with a 1.8 but with a curved sensor do I wait for the RX1 prices to drop even lower? I hate to think what the price of the RX2 is going to be. I know that it is stupid to wait, if you want it just get it! This is electronic's there is always...

    Sony New guy with questions....

    Well part of what I want is the autofocus, so with any camera I pickup I will need a new lens. And after being used to Leica M lenses since 1971 I want something that is really sharp and has great contrast. The Fuji lenses fit the bill and the new Zeiss lenses would be good, but I don't want to...

    Sony New guy with questions....

    Thanks, I saw one picture of a RX-1 that looked like it had a lens hood like the one for the older Leica 21mm 3.4 & the 28 mm 2.8 V2. Anyone have any idea who makes that one. My friends think I should stick with aps-c GR or spring for a M body, but I have so much fun with my Jupiter 3 (sonnar...

    Sony New guy with questions....

    Alright after much time reading and looking at all these great pictures I think I am getting closer to pulling the trigger on a used RX-1. Is there any other lens hood I should think about besides the Fotodiox or the JJC hood? As I have a Leitz 35mm finder I am going to try and use it...

    Leica 24mm f/3.8 Elmar-M ASPH

    I was lucky they let me use a 24mm finder, and I had one of those shots where I had to open it up 3.5 stops and it still looked ok made me really appreciate what you can do with Monochrom files. Now it's back to my Ricoh GXR with the A12-m module. wbill

    Leica 24mm f/3.8 Elmar-M ASPH

    I got a chance to borrow one with a Monochrom and walked around Wash DC for two hours. Made me want a Monochrom and the 24, wish I could have taken them home. I think the only reason to stop this lens down is to have more depth of field, I thought it was sharp enough wide open. wbill

    Leica Choosing a 50mm (lengthy post)

    Ok here are three shots taken with my new to me Jupiter 3 this afternoon wide open at 1.5 at a 1/30 sec. Not great photography but I had fun, they were taken at the local wine bar during their free wine tasting this afternoon. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/wbill/R0012681.jpeg.html R0012679...

    Leica Choosing a 50mm (lengthy post)

    Sometimes I think it's best to just have one FL lens, the old joke about "man with one watch always knows what time it is, man with two watches is never sure" seems to ring true. I just picked up a Jupiter 3 1.5 a 1973 model year to play with and really like the size and weight, after reading...

    Leica Elmarit vs Summicron 28

    Been their done that, when I started with Leica I went with a summilux and then the 28, after a few months I got a used v1 summicron. After that the 28 stayed in the bag, the 35 just felt better, I was always happy with the results from the 28 Elmarit just didn't use it often that was with...
