Matures Wearing Stockings

Nitidezza ESTREMA.

What you see is the 100% crop of a photo taken with Leica M9 at 400 ISO and Leica 50mm Summicron-M 1:2.

The crop is taken in the far left edge of the photograph, taken of course wide open.

As you can see, the area in focus is focus.

But now comes the fun ... the goal, put under stress by a 18-megapixel sensor was assembled in 1960 (!!!), the optical design dates back to 1956.

So after 54 years of planning this goal is still able to give exceptional performance in extreme conditions.

The 50mm Nikon or Canon designed the new millennium, much less about pixel density sensors are unable to come up with the same results.

Leica is often ruled out a priori for the higher costs that requires ... but how many goals we can use Canon or Nikon 1960 with satisfaction today without fear of "dark" of megapixels? Zero.

Leica is possible.

Viaggio in cantiere

After a long series of adverse circumstances, things finally seem to be arranged. These days I am planning my next trip. At the moment I'm considering a couple of destinations, so there is nothing definite yet, but when the trip is beginning: the first step in a journey from his party organization ... then a good trip to anyone who follows me and follow me!

Port Royale 2 Language Change

Summicron 35mm 1:2 ASPH.

Leica Summicron-M 35mm 1:2 ASPH.

A lens designed for digital Leica when he was still a huge taboo: 1996.

We expect, therefore, a yield in line with the requirements of the film, unsatisfactory for a full frame sensor with 18 million pixels.

The M9 (and digital in general) much more stress on the optics, that the film seemed perfect, with magnifications in excess of 100% on screens over 20 " change radically.

Already

the transition from 6 megapixels Nikon D100 D300 with 12 in the goose have hair on my Nikon 50 f/1.8, a 50mm sharper of the Japanese.

Sharpness, clarity without compromise.

may seem an exaggeration "Leica Fan Boy" but the reality is, there is no situation that would embarrass this goal.

wide open, at minimum focusing distance (0.7m), the most difficult test for any purpose .. passed with flying colors from the Summicron that displays a sharpness that in today's zoom are only after f/5.6.

PRO

Sharpness high edge to edge.

Compactness and weight (just 253g).

superb build quality.

AGAINST

plastic hood is not very practical.

presence of chromatic aberrations.
