More on the new reissue 50 1.2

How is everybody?

Thanatos

I can understand the concern about the IQ of the reissue and equally of the original ones. To find a like new original is almost impossible not to mention the price. The Black version is a bit dearer than Luxes and a lot cheaper than the 0.95 or 75 1.25. The size and weight is also a big plus for travelling. No wonder it is so hard to get as many seasoned Leica fans will want one even they might have the original ones already.

Not sure if you have visited the UK website, there are a few more images

rcwy,

What R lenses do you have? Are you planning to use them with Sony or Leica? I use my R's with both M and SL, both are quite OK.

This is with M10P + R35 1.4



M10P + R80 1.4

仲記得初玩Leica鏡年代，當時還未有digital 相機
第一支買既係連goggle Summicon M 35,（銀色）配較早前買下一部M 3($1500）
深水埗買
當時問店主點解支鏡頭賣咁貴$2800銀?
佢答： 分別就係影黑白菲林黑房放大，放大，再放大之後照片依然清浙，其他牌子鏡頭就咁睇冇乜問題但一放大已經濛。
不過現代數碼年代攝影購買鏡頭經已需要考慮埋其他因素。

Dear JC,

Not yet, I have contacted a parallel importer in HK. He says that it may take one to two months for the first batch to arrive in HK.

Meanwhile, I notice from sample photos that, the bokeh of this re-issue lens is quite different from that of the original. Out-of-focus areas seem very busy and distracting (not creamy dreamy). It doesn't seem to have the swirly bokeh for which the original one is famous, perhaps due to a reduction in aberrations with newer technologies. In-focus area is quite good with the "milkiness" of old lenses. But the bokeh is rather disappointing. I think I will wait for the first reviews and more sample photos before finalising my decision.

JC, I have quite some Leica R lenses idling. Previously to match with Canon ff body with an adapter. Obviously they failed to keep me. Meanwhile I switched back to Sony APS-C. May want to retry R with Sony body. Any knowledge to share ? :)

Thanatos,

Long time no write! Hope we are all well and safe. Have you ordered your 1.2?

係買就應該訂銀色版，用嚟「頂引」要一劑最重既先夠watt

舊M機觀景窗亦並非100% coverage，而係比實際細咗
以前影企定定時見唔到腳趾以為構圖ok
沖完菲林後睇相會發現「送腳趾」
