If you're gonna rock a Leica, you need to rock the best glass..

That is quite sharp in the middle. Is this scanned with the Digitaliza?

Yep, with the Digitliza. The lens is very sharp in the middle, then goes all smeary mid to edge.

I might prefer the 7 Artisans 18mm, F6.3, but I don't think it comes in L39 or M.

It sticks out much more, and the clock face design is so weird. Have you used it?

 

[Arthurwg]

No, have not used it. But F6.3 is attractive.

I liked the images better when you were shooting Tri-X @800 and messing up the push. What happened to the severe vignetting?

That also happened from lighting angle and exposure. For 'correct' exposure this lens needs much more light than what it's claimed aperture is stated to be. The mfg claims it is an F16 lens - maybe it is but it seems only to transmit that level of light in the very center area of the image. I'm now shooting it as if it is an F22 lens.

 

[Huss]

You can see that this lens can, depending on the angle of light, create a shadow line at the top of the image. I've had similar stuff like this with my Nikon F2 and 45mm 2.8 and my old D750!

(It's not a developer issue as the image before and after is unaffected)

Same time of the year in 2017 you could not see hillside, everything was covered by 2-3ft high wild flowers...

I have been leaning on what would normally be overexposure, and that seems to give the most 'balanced' results.

HH
posting images from a camera you can't focus,
wide lenses
mono baths,
vignetted corners,
bright colors,
monochrome
power lines,
fire trucks,
early 60s late 50s bugs ...
no kryptonite I guess.
