I was not blown away by the 180S. That's not the same as saying it is a bad lens, just that I found it underwhelming given the price tag. In hindsight, for my uses, the 120S probably would have been a more practical choice.

I also used the Mamiya 200mm F2.8 APO on the S2 via the Leica S / 645M adapter. I think the Mamiya 200mm F2.8 APO is…[Read more]

Here's another with the 120mm also at f/6.8. Don't think you can go wrong with either lens…or either girl 🙂

I do a fair amount of beauty/glamour shooting and find myself using the 70mm and 120mm lens frequently. This past week I decided to remind myself what the 180mm was capable of…I liked the results and will try to incorporate it into future shoots more frequently. Studio lighting, base ISO, and the 180mm at f/6.8

The first one was with the 35mm
I went back and shot with the 120mm. I bet Kipper suspects that there will be a third shot in the series.

Still figuring on the matte.

The easiest way to answer your question is to first ask you what lenses you shoot with most in your current system?

I have the 120mm and use it extensively. I have shot with the 180mm, but I rarely shot a 135mm in 35mm format, so I rarely would use the 180 even if I had it. Secondly, there is so much resolution to spare, I can crop down to…[Read more]

Jimmy:

I've moved your post to a new thread within the S forum so that more users will see it.

There are some key differences between the S-120mm and 180mm lenses. The 120mm is an f/2.5 lens and the 180mm is f/3.5. The 120mm is also a macro that focuses down to about 20 inches.

The 180mm is great for landscape, wildlife, and any…[Read more]

Beautiful pictures with a great perspective. I look forward to seeing more from your project.

Thank you very much. I was shooting with my Leica 50mm F/0.95 Noctilux on my M9 in all of the pictures above.

John, we have not heard any official statement yet from Leica but I know they are aware of the problem. When we do hear news of a firmware update I will definitely post it on the main page here!

Beautiful shots. Which lenses were you using?

Georg,
for some reason I cant open the attachment but I really would like to see the image. Tom

I was very tempted by this lens because it covers a large range of what I shoot, in particular when traveling, and thus should reduce the need to change lenses. Last week, I received an offer that I could not refuse (demo lens from Leica that my dealer received), and yesterday and today I took the lens for a first test drive. Light was not great…[Read more]

until now I have been using the great Hasselblad 55-110 with adaptor

how is the Leica compared to the Hasselblad?
