Thanks for sharing the DNG. Incredible DOF, nice color and contrast. Are you going to use the lens for landscapes?

Peter

The “old trick” is to use black paint to fill in the scratch. This prevents the scratch from producing a reflection and flare, which is the primary source of image corruption. After filling it in, I doubt you will see any difference in performance.

Preliminary testing indicates that the scratch does not show up on photos, which is pretty incredible. But, every time I use this lens, which is frequent, and look at that scratch, I will feel sick. I am going to start searching online for a replacement. Several people have already expressed interest in buying this lens, though no price has been…

I don't know the direct answer to your question but have you tried using the “Eye-Fi” Pro X2 SDHC card? I'm putting the 16Gb through some tests currently and so far it seems to live up to specs:-

1. Provides WiFi connection to your PC/MAC so that shots are immediately uploaded (you can stipulate to where). Granted your still need to import…[Read more]

Single shot with minimal PP,process in C1P7… C1 does an excellent job with S file's,only caveat is lack of tool's for dealing with C.A's.. you dont see C.A's very often with these lenses but still a L.R4 style tool for mitigating C.A would be nice..

I have used a experience with some very good wide angle's including the TSE17 and Nikkor…[Read more]

This is a 3shot hdr with the S24,,,

and here is one of the DNG's

hi Peter,

I will post a few more DNG's asap..a few more shots from around the Dam to bring back a few memory's for you.. 🙂

Very sad. Hope you had a second camera in your bag.

There were several sensors on the earlier S2 that had faulty fittings which pinched the glass covers causing them to crack, usually from or near a corner….you should take it to Leica for checking. They are duty bound…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing, Rob. I'd be interested to see more of the 24 mm. BTW, I recognise the area where you took these, I used to live in Amsterdam for almost 25 years.

…and grass, foliage, etc. At times a reason for me.

Agreed, vignetting could likely be an issue with a 95mm polarizer.

Appreciate seeing these samples all the same.

Thanks for posting these.

I would hesitate to use a polarizer on a lens this wide,but if you do it takes 95mm filters.. I would like the option of N.D filter,I am considering the 95mm True Match…[Read more]

Many thanks.

Here is a backlit shot.. straight into the sun,, there is streaking but I find this happens with CCD's.. nevertheless the lens handles the scene well,easily dealing with the dark branches against the bright background with hardly a trace of C.A..
