Agree.

The SEM is not good for the low light. I want to add a larger aperture lense. However, I still cannot make my decision which one should be: M35/2A, M50/2, ZM35/1.4, ZM50/2. I do not like to change lense for a single body. So, I will possibly add another body, a fullframe one. Therefore, there...

Focus of M lense on CL relies on experience, I think. It is difficult to judge the focus point when fine aperture is used. This case, you may need to use the magnification wheel as while. Combined use of the focus peaking and magnification wheel helps a lot. In case of infinity, it is very easy...

The chair is very interesting. I am wondering who and when seat it here. How long has it been here? who have sit on it? Lot of stories of it, I bet.

Great!!!

Nice photos, like them very much.

Yeah, thanks. Sought out beauties of Katmandu...

thanks. it is a place that people hope to go back again.

thanks. I love it too. It seems that it is more diffuclt to get the tone in lightrom than in the camera.

BTW, the photos usually extend outside my screen. I like to reduce the photo's longest dimension to 1200 for posting so that they can show fully within the screen frame:th_salute:.

The grouping photos are especially nice.

i take the ricoh gr ii in pocket, which is a 28mm equivalent. when travel, i take also the d700 + zf.2 35/2. this is a heavy combo. instead, i may take the d7000 + af35/2d, which is 52.5mm equivalent. this combo is light and compact and autofocus. the af35/2d is very good for sharpness, color...

Nice indeed. I might get back to the zoom T lens as well some day. ^_^. Did you try the in-camera BW? I converted the two pics of you into BW in neo-imaging, the tone is very attractive!

That of lady-fishing is very interesting. You captured her moment. Nice.

Nice photos. And, I like the photo of horses most for its color rendering and the background. The subject color is vivid and thick, isolated successfully from the blurred background. However, background is blurred not so much so that the figures and the surroundings are still recognizable. The...

Thanks, Burkey. I will try. I have much to learn the post processing. Generally, I just make a little adjustment to the exposure and the curve in Nikon Capture. Frequently, I do resizing, cropping, and adding a frame as the final touch. ^_^.

Another photo at the same place of the first image. The dark section is fairly good, full of details . If there were some shimmering on the ice, would it be better?

Yes. There is some kind of reflection from the right section of the dome. However, in the image, it is just near saturation. It was not white out. I noticed that spot. The smooth tone transition is amazing. I have to say, I like it very much.

Suggestive comments, Carl. Appreciated. For the first image, I found that the tower is not critically vertical too. Might have straigthened it a little bit, or adjusted the camera a little when shooting. I tried to buy a copy of Light Room. However, I did not succeed. Thus, I have no software...

It was very cold outside. I am still not used to hold the small cl yet, especially in such a cold day. Tried only a few shots for your comments. Appreciated! They were shot in DNG+JPEG (S). I did not use the DNG. Instead, I resized the jpg, coverted to the BW, and added a frame in Neo-Imaging...

Leica is Leica. Agree absolutely. Otherwise, why a Leica body? As a matter of fact, each brand has its own 'culture'. Combination with a third party, either body or lens, generate a new 'culture'. The new 'culture' is good, as lots of photographers have been trying with endless attempts and...

Hi Carlb, very useful tips. Thanks. I have been puzzled by the third party lens issue on CL these days. Zeiss and Voigtlander have quite a few high quality lenses for M mount with reatively low cost compared to the primary ones

Why not?:dance4:

Agree. The 21mm is equivalent to 32.5mm on CL, which is the focal length I like. This one on my CL has a hood. I will pay attention to the flare issue when shooting the backlight, as you suggested. Your photos of the SEM are really amazing and make its fans confidential for their choice, I bet.

Thanks, Carlb. ZM 50/2 seems a alternative, considering its IQ and compactness. PCMAG prizes it highly.:clapping:. I will look for some photos of it on web to do further research on this lens. It is not very urgent for me to get the second lens for CL because I am using a ZF2 35/2 on Nikon...

VVery nice photos of you! Do you use tripods when taking the landscapes?

The 50mm cron non-apo is in the list of my second lens for CL. Wainting for more input under this thread. The pictures are very nice, while people say it is usually not very sharp at f=2. is that right?

I just bought the SEM 21mm for the CL body. I have not shot anything yet. Thus, I have no informative input here. Just for watching this thread.

I like the photos. They are stimulas. :2thumbs:. Why am I sitting office all days? Go out and shoot something! right?

Hi Bud, I bought the CL body and mount the M21/3.4A on it. Therefore, I can onyl focus mannully. The TL lenses focus automatically and it is frequently said that the autofocus is quite fast by the web reviews. Anyway, CL is a lovely model. Enjoy. Luo

By the way, dear friends, I have a question for your comments. I plan to buy a sencond lens for the CL. As the M21/3.4A (32.5mm on CL) is mainly for the documentary and street shot, I plan to buy a second lens for portrait. Meanwhile, I hope this lens is also good for street shot in the focal...

Hope I can get along with this combo very well. Thanks!

All of your responses are appreciated. I have not shot any pictures with the new CL yet due to busy office work these days. However, I tried the focus - peaking during the coeffe break in my office quite a few times. Yes, as you mentioned: the relative thin aperture of the M21/3.4A causes...

Thanks for your input. I use manual lens on nikon. i just to turn the focus ring back and forward to find the 'best' point. The camera does has a led indicating the focus lock. the indicator is located on bottom of the screen. if you want to confirm the focus lock, you have to turn your eyes to...

woooooooo. When the M lens is attached, the F values cannot be transferred to the body. Therefore, no F information will be recorded in the EXIF.

I just bought a CL with the M21/3.4 mounted. I have never used the EVF before. I am not used to the focus-peaking yet. I feel that it is not as easy to focus precisely as the maunal lens on the DSLR. Does any friend like to share your experiences in the focus-peaking? Also, your experiences in...
