would be called the shitty rendering of a soft vintage lens if it was manufactured by any other company.
>>4333651Sure, go for the trite Leica hate. Again.>softYeah, no. You'll have to at least try something other than that.
Minolta AF 85/1.4 is soft as shit wide open and methinks costs that much only because of this.
>>4333661The Tomioka 55 1.2 has the same characteristics.
Posting in the weekly Leica Troll Thread (tm)
It does look suspiciously close to the Chinesium Glow, but I know better than to fight a consooomer over their favorite marketing team. Let them glow in peace.
>>4333652>softYes, actually. You can just look at leica MTF charts and see this yourself. Lenses are, after all, a science. There is no art. There is no soul. At the beginning, lenses were designed by mathematicians. Then, they were designed by computers.Or, if you've owned a camera for at least a year, you've surely used a <$100 vintage SLR/chinese MILC lens. These "soft" lenses do render every single detail in the center, they're not totally ruinous to IQ, but there's a subtle blur that's distinctly optical for the first few stops of aperture and the edges of the frame are never truly crisp.This is the same performance as the majority of leica lenses. Decently sharp in the center, sharpness falloff, sort of "glowing".
>>4333667this is your reminder to burn $35 on a Signet 35 if you live in North America, it's one of the best values in rangefinders, comes apart with nothing but a flathead screwdriver and 10 minutes, is noticably smaller than a barnack, doesn't have any light seals to fail, shoots full frame, and has a genuinely nice 'murican-made coated tessar lens[EXIF data available.

>>4333667Where to cop that chain? Looks sick.
>>4333678I actually have one of these! They are very underrated and I think I paid 8 bucks for mine.I had to calibrate the rangefinder and clean it too. These things are severely underrated.
>>4333684Found a few in a camera shop. Search "german metal camera strap" that's where almost all of them were made. I got like 5 including one for my Signet.
I need to get a leica lens, my ttartisan is so sharp i get moiré when i stop down.No photo because i dont got one on the cloud.[EXIF data available.

>>4333688>rips out all your body hairNothing personal, kid.
>>4333692Mine doesn't and I have long hair. The trick is to wash your fucking hair and brush it, basic hair care, and exfoliate dead skin.
Love how the Leica hate shitpost always turns into a leicabro thread, they can’t meet our power level. Took my m4-2 out to see a steam engine making a stop in town today, it’s such a nice shooting experience but I feel 35mm was too tight to capture a full loco. They had a tarted up f40ph even. Fun times. Hopefully acros behaves in harsh mid day light.
>>4333694>starts giving hygiene adviceKek, it's just not a chain that pinches hairs despite looking like one. Prob because the links are rounded either from wear or being a decent quality chain. That said, I got a TAG Heuer from work that I couldn't wear without changing the band so did the right thing and sold it to some hairless Californian.
>>4333688Cool, I’ll take a look. Though now that I think about it, I wonder if it would really be a good idea for black paint bodies.
buy an old nikkor 55mm f1.2 non-AI. glow galore at f1.2.
>>4333717It is also the cheapest of the 50/55 1.2s.>Get the Leica glow on a budget
>Leica "glow">Zeiss "3d Pop">"micro contrast">"build quality"all nonsensical terms invented by the deranged
>>4333743>build quality>nonsensicalkay then buddy, buy a vintage sigma "APO Zen" lens if "build quality" is nonsensical to you
>>4333747Dayum, how many jewels?
>>4333747It's nonsensical when its about leicaIf anyone else had their reliability track record they'd either be out of business, or not actually a camera company (sony)
dang op were you just hanging out on a saturday and go so frustrated thinking about gear you don't even own that you decided to make a thread about it?

>>4333712Most of them have a plastic cover on the business end or a rubber grommet to prevent rubbing on the body. I have one on a black body Photomic F and it's fine.
>>4333696not sure how i feel about acrosII. for almost double the price i don't like it any better than kentmere. And it's the only film to date of the many stocks i've tried that's jammed up my tank reels. not sure why, it also felt like it was struggling to push the full roll through. Thicker stock than others maybe? have an unedited train snapshit.[EXIF data available.

>>4333948is that thing RF coupled? pretty sweet pancake if so.
>>4333950yeah. as far as i know, it's the thinnest interchangeable lens with an adjustable aperture. the focus ring is a bit wobbly, but it's only $300 so who cares. goofy lenses like this are a very fun part of m mount imo
>>4333951oh wait that was taken with a 35 i think.this one was with the pancake, i'm pretty sure

>>4333652Leica lenses literally are softer at the edges due to not correcting for the shorter flange distance. This is just fact. You can go on about "micro contrast" and "3D pop" or whatever nonsense, but you can't deny actual physical measurements.
>>4334232i see it in it
