Great view. Very good details and sharpness.

Do you use a Leitax mount on your Leica lenses ?

Yes Rolf exactly. I use Leitax mounts to put my Leica lenses on to my Pentax Bodys. Except it`s the only solution for Pentax, I prefer the mount exchange to every shaky adapter.

PS

@Rolf

The picture shows the view from the observation tower in Nümbrecht county of "Oberbergischer Kreis", onto "Schloss Homburg" and the so called "Homburgerländchen".
It`s not so far away from Bochum.

Hi Timo,

many thanks for your answer. Ordered few days ago the first Leica to Pentax mount (not leitax) to try out a Leica-R lens on my K-5. Will try for this first test a 2.8/180 too so good to see your results.

Thanks for the info of the location. Could be a nice trip for a Saturday or Sunday morning or afternoon.

and the picture of the castle took with the tak is also great, a lot of details as well as nice rendering....

Great results, very detailed which it also should be, given that it's downsized from a large stitched photo. The framing, scenery and color perspective is visually very appealing.

When it comes to the technical quality I can't help noticing the green color cast especially in the sky. It is consistent with what I've seen with Leica R glass that I've used (Leitax converted) - they all give a greenish tint that I find needs pp or compensation with hue/WB.

Today I used the nice warm evening light to visit this place again. This time I took my Leitz Telyt 6.8/400 with me. It`s an old achromatik lens design with only two glas elements. This lens is supposed to be a bad performer in landscape photography but I think it´s not so bad:

The whole image, stitched from 5 single raw files, cropped a bit.





100% crop, unsharpened:

I like the cropped version, it focuses better on the subject.

Okay, I think you mean that you prefer the current version made with the telyt over the older "wider version" right?

Timo

Very nice effort with pano!

The second shot you show (with the Tak 28 ) is brilliant!

Cheers
Tobias

Fully agree, the contrast is quite better using teh 28mm and it does not appear that "flat" (a typical tele effect even teh best lenses have)
