I can't believe the distortion in those last two shots! Hang the resolution. Give me a natural appearance any day of the week.

Re: 50mm 1.2 (compilation)
I'm curious as to how natural that line or plane of focus looks to all of y'alls more experienced eyes? It seems pretty crescent or horn shaped and I'm having trouble visualizing what causes it. And is it possible we're just looking at photoshop enhancement done very badly? Dan Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't believe the distortion in those last two shots! Hang the resolution.

The Leica earned its moniker. :-) A rangefinder has a huge advantage over an SLR when it comes to light throughput. I haven't looked through the 50mm f1.2 from Pentax, but I have looked through the 50mm f1 from Canon on an EOS 1-V, and I can tell you that there's no contest, my Leica (among other rangefinders) wins hands down... Perhaps someone that isn't used to rangefinder focusing would have problems, but an experienced rangfinder shooter should be at a significant advantage. I just spent over three months travelling with only RFs in hand, 2 x M6 and Mamiya 7II so I have a little experience :-) Firstly the Mamiya has a far brighter RF patch than the Leica M6 (see measurements below) and secondly in really low light the RF patch in the Leica isn't discernible however the SE-60/P50f1.2 still allows reliable focus. RF relative brightness (measured with a spotmeter through the finder with the cameras face down on a light panel, if it isn't immediately obvious; the smaller the aperture the brighter the image in the finder :-) : M6 0.85 TTL f5.6 +9/10 M6 0.72 f8.0 +1/10 M4 f8.0 +1/10 M7II f11+6/10 M6 0.72 (under RF patch) f2 +1/10 M6 0.72 (RF patch) f2.8 +1/10 LX FA-1 SE-60 50f1.2 (open) f2.8 +9/10 Leica folklore.

I suppose it's a trade-off that's worthwhile for some people but I guess I'm not one of them. Unfortunately, fast lenses tend to have more light fall-off in the corners wide-open (as opposed to vignetting, which I'm not referring to) than do slower lenses. It's a laws of physics trade-off that can't be helped, I guess... Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
