  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

LEICA R on RED: Pictures

Awesome, looking forward to seeing some of that bedroom stuff in motion!
 
Really nice stuff Mark!

Love those pastel colors and the light.

These are great! Especially like the colors and dof in the last two.

I'm scrolling through your flickr (read: snooping), are most of these with the Lux/Elmarit's?

So much character.

Much of what I've shot lately is on the EF mount, Leica, Canon and Sigma, I'm not using the PL a lot these days, I have RedPrimes but find them a bit too sharp besides being heavy. Leica is my go to prime set for most shoots, Canon for zooms (Veri-prime), travel, long glass, Sigma ART are sharpest 1.4 lenses and are quite pretty as well, I just don't have a lot of focal lengths yet, hopefully Sigma is working on a few more ART FF lenses, an 85 would be great.

Wish I never saw your Flickr! I thought I was done... and now I have an 80/1.4 Lux on the way.
 
Nice pictures Mark.

Especially liking the 2nd image with the OOF flowers in the foreground. In my experience OOF foreground elements can often be turned into something interesting on the Rs, whereas modern glass tends to render a distracting blur instead.

Good tests. But are the Leica R summilux actually T1.4? Don't want to start an F-stop vs. T-stop discussion here. I know a 1.4 marking looks better on the lens but are they not closer to T1.6?

Van Diemen do some amazing Leica R conversions. I am not sure if they Mark in T stop or F stop, but they clearly mark the Lux lenses at 1.4. I can't say if they retest them for transmission over F-Stop, but I get the feeling that it's something they would have tested.
