Excellent shots! (And I think that this Leica is an extraordinary lens! Wink)

Yep Attila. I meant HCB = Henry Cartier Bresson.

And I wasn't kidding and I tell you why. A couple of great shots can be good luck. Consistency is the trademark of a good photographer.

Your zoo shots show that you're sure of your photo skills and relaxed there, and animals (but also people like that lady) can feel it.

Thank you very much Alessandro!

Even in the bad light, the first photo (with Krisztina) shows the incredible potential of this lens. Use it in favoureable light and you will be amazed by the results!

Lovely, Atilla! Orio, do you know how this lens compares to the 90mm f2?


I have both, they are very different lenses. The Summicron (f/2) is more classic Leica look, softer wide open with slight dreamy effect, sharper stopped down but always with mild contrast and full tonal range (mild saturation).
The Elmarit (f/2.8 ) last version, which is the one Attila has, is probably the most "zeissy" of Leica lenses: bold contrast, sharp wide open, great colour density, and a "lifelike" realistic 3D effect (while the 3D of the Summicron is more pictorial).

I guess it depends much on personal preferences, I guess Leica lovers would always prefer the mild contrast and gentle colours of the Summicron. I personally lean more towards the Zeiss side and therefore I prefer the Elmarit (last version).

Orio, I think we have discussed here but with ref to different versions of Emarit-R. From your experience (as you noted above), old Elmarit is like Summicron. I have first version ELmarit-R 90mm f2.8, which is nutral in contrast as well as saturation, and soft wide open.

We discussed some of this in earlier discussion,

Veijo can also provide his experience or view on this... His views and Orio's, shaped by analytical thinking about these classic lenses..







Very Happy
