Thanks a lot Mary Doo!!! warm regards

 

Federico

Great images Federico, are they black & white at source or you convert them in PS?

 

Thanks bkhan. Yes, I converted to b&w with PS. This time I used the easy and quick way: I started with the jpg versions and use the default PS b&w option.

 

Normally I first "refinish" the raw material, and then convert it to b&w using the color lab way. (sorry for my limited english)

Sony A7 II & Leica Summilux 50mm

 

I don't understand why you say the distances were 'calculated'. Surely the A7II allows you to view the focus in real time?

 

At that moment, I had not with me my glasses so I used the super angulon depth of field scales info to meassure the distance. For that reason I think I made a bad calculus in some shots...I guess

Hello Robin......Here you can see a very first close-up of the new Einstein (Sony A7II / Summilux, 50mm)

 

Is this the M or R version? Nice. Amazing to see Einstein still alive and with us. I thought he passed away in 1955:)

 

Hello Robin... Thanks a lot for your kindly comment...I forgot to put in the title that this Super-Angulon is the M version, from 1959. And yes, my friend looks very close to the old Einstein...More than that...he looks too to Jesus Soto, the great cinetic venezuelan arttist.

Last sunday I was playing with the Super-Angulon, and I want to share some pics I taked in this first test. Some pics are reframed. I know I did not get yet the best of this small wide angle lens can do...Mainly because I calculate wrong the distance....that explain the soft faces of my friends in near all pics...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<p>Is not a good buy...Is a Great buy</p>

<p>I am very satisfied with the medium format / nex7 combination....In my opinion, all the pics I taked with the Mamiya zoom (105-210) are more sharp or definied than the produced with the sony zoom e mount (55-210).</p>

<p>Phillip: Yes... when you are focusing (amplified) at 210 with the Nex7- Mamiya zoom, you can feel what parkinson disease means</p>

<p>the pic...The vignette was added with photoshop</p><div></div>

<p>This is a pic taked with a Sony Nex-7 with a Mamiya medium format zoom 105-210mm I used a Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter, Mamiya 645 Mount Lens - Sony NEX Camera Camcorder Adapter. It works perfect.</p>

<p>My cousin. ( Nex7)</p><div></div>

<p>Hmmmm....Greg.... This is iteresting...Very interesting!<br>

Can you tell more about? In this case what tube did you use? 30mm, 45mm 90mm? What lens? Simply you attach the tube and lens, give a look to the LCD screen, make the best focus possible and shot? Do you have more examples to show? <br>

This is a good place for to show your experience about. In any case if you want to mail me, and send me hi res pics, this is my add <a href="mailto:federico.prieto@gmail.com">federico.prieto@gmail.com</a> I want to learn some about... And yes, you can send me all you want.<br>

<p>I own 2 SL I used extensively.... Great camera, very good lens and like Steven says before, you must to do a good cla because they can present differents problems when working.</p>

<p>hehehehehehe....OK I see....may be I will be psychotically dedicated but only with the Nex 7.... In some weeks I will play with this old tubes.... I will post the results here.</p>

<p>By the way, my friend gave me too a pair of lenses: a Summitar 5cm f/2 from 1939 and a Summaron 3,5 f/3,5 from 1949. Both are like new...no fungus, scratches or dusts... The lens from 1939 is in oustanding condition...May be never was used (10++) the Summaron is 9,80+---- I am glad....hehehehehhehehe</p>

<p>By the way 2 Nice pic David (Sweetwater Creek State Park Dock)</p>

<p>Hello: A friend gave me an old leica extension tube set of diferents sizes with screw mounts.... 30mm, 45mm, 60mm, 90mm and a very short without number (maybe 15mm). All are black enamel (or some like that) and has the following info or logo (E. Leitz New York, Made in USA). Here is a pic I found in internet with the 45mm tube (exactly like mine)<br />Any idea about this tubes? How to use that? I have two leica cameras: M4 and M8 and some lenses (screw and M mount) and a Sony Nex7...soon I will have a leica mount for this camera......so, any tips and info about are welcome.....<br />tia</p><div></div>

<p><em>catching the light... </em>very nice picture<br>

Thanks a lot for the info....</p>

<p>OK I knew there are a lot of differences thicks in sheet brass... so I will take a meassure -with a vernier- of the long of the lens, and another after the rotation. In that way I will know what is the difference for to buy the sheet brass with a +/- correct thick....<br>

Any idea where to put the washer ring?<br>

thanks</p>

<p>Federico</p>

<p>Oh... that`s perfect for me John... I will travel to the States in 3 weeks and I can buy that... Any other tip, specification?...meassure? or just I need to buy the shim brass ?</p>

<p>Hi Stephen.... I did not take the meassure yet, but I believe it is very thin...may be 1 millimeter...Do you believe I could find a washer ring of that thick? Can I made that? How?<br>

thanks</p>

 

<p>Recently I bought a 135 Tele-Elmar in Keh. The lens arrived in outstanding condition and in minutes I went to my Leica local expert to test it in the collimator. The infinite was 100% OK. When I made the first photos with M8 all of the pics -in different apertures and distances- were out of focus... Then I rechecked the lens in the collimator and the lens confirmed that it has not infinite problem. I went to Google and I found some people with similar problems between Tele-Elmar and M8 and M9...I read about some diferentes solutions and I selected the more easy for me: to rotate the removable head a complete turn (360º loose)...I rotated many timen until I found a complete turn was the way (in my case)</p>

<p>The pic was taked after that.... OK....it has some postproducction.....</p>

<p>Now I need to learn how to fix the head in this position (a 360º turn)....sorry for my complicated english... the rose was at 1.7 meters from the lens and this is a crop of the picture...may be a 25%... Tripod ISO 160 and f8 or 5,6 and 4 seconds</p>

<p>....and yes.... for near 430$ the Tele-Elmar is the bargain of the century...</p><div></div>
