Straight Photography!

Gamla fina grejer! Det här objektivet kom ju redan 1932. Systerobjektivet Sonnar 1,5/5cm var ju så dyrt att väldigt få hade råd - men den här gluggen innebar att folk för första gången kunde fotografera på fri hand i svagt ljus inomhus, lika väl som ute på den soliga badstranden utan allt för stor risk för reflexer och slöjor.

Good Jul på´re Bengan - och tack för din outtröttlighet med bloggen under åren!

Allt handlar inte om skärpa. Det här är en kommentar till Leica X2 objektivet (minns inte var jag hittade den):

"78.Gmac says:

And that has nothing to do with pixel peeping and spotting the highest resolution.

I work in the film industry and test cinema lenses for a living. If you put a Panavision Primo lens (whose glass is made by Leitz) on a lens projector and compare it to say a Zeiss Master prime, you could argue that the Zeiss is sharper. But this is not why cinematographers choose lenses. We are more concerned about the overall characteristic of a lens as a whole and the artistic brush stroke it gives to an image. The Leitz glass in Primo lenses has a quality that no other lenses have, and is difficult to quantify, but you see it when projected on the big screen its obvious. Cooke also have a similar subtlety.

You either see it or you don’t over a batch of still images. Its subtle but there. For me its about colour reproduction."
