    Voigtlander killing it recently. I currently have the 50 APO and 28 Ultron ASPH for my M10-R. Great price to performance ratio. Will be adding this next year along with the recently announced 50 f/1.0 ASPH

    For many years a 90mm Lens was my "normal" Lens which I used a lot, but for the last 5 to 10 years my most used Lenses are 60mm and 135mm, sort of "back to the future" as I used the 135mm when I began as a Photographer in 1979. I still have my trusty Tamron SP 90mm 2.5 Adaptall-2 which I sometimes use. But I have been looking at the Leica M 90mm Macro because it is so compact.

    • @MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom
      @MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom  2 года назад

      Yes the Macro is amazing but not cheap. I bought for the size and close focus ability originally. I think I remember that you are not in the UK?

    Fine B&W photographs made in the snow in Poland.
    The VOIGTLÄNDER APO SKOPAR 1 : 2,8 - 90 is a must.
    With a Kodak Tri-X it will make the analog Leica CL a super camera.

    Yes please, give the Hasselblad SWC a review. I like the Hasselblad SWC a lot though I do not like rangefinder cameras, I wish for a modern digital version with a very good EVF. I have used the SWC, but for myself I got the Zeiss Distagon 50mm 2.8 (Excellent Lens !!!) for the Hasselblad 2000FC which worked best for me.

    I liked your observations on this lens. I owned at one time a 90mm f2 Summicron that I sold mainly, despite having been CLA'd over by DAG to get it as good as it could be, still seemed to lose contrast at f5.6-f8. I suspect it was due to worn aperture blades. I am seriously considering this lens as I like the filter size the lens has. This will work well with my 35mm and 50mm summicrons I owned. Judging from your tests, I expect it to be very good. Thanks for the review!

    Putting cost aside, I assume you would still go for the Voigtlander over the Leica 90mm Macro Elmar since you note it is sharper than the Leica? I am looking for a small, optically excellent 90mm to go with my M11 for travel and general use, and was planning on the Macro Elmar, but now the Voigtlander seems like it would be a better choice. I prefer the smaller size of the Macro Elmar but you have to extend it anyway to use it, and if the Voigtlander is sharper I would prefer it, especially with the 60mp of the M11...

      @@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom , I wonder if you experienced the same phenomena Jack Takahashi noted in his review...
      "My review copy did not focus correctly on my M10 (it frontfocused especially at longer distances). Fred Miranda states in his review that he tried three different copies, none of which were calibrated right on his M10-R. Other people have posted about similar problems on forums. Given this, many would conclude the following: Voigtlander is doing a bad job at calibrating these lenses, and they should be avoided.
      However, I tried my review copy on two different M11 cameras at the Leica store, and it appeared to focus perfectly on both. This, to me, suggests another possibility: There is significant variation between camera bodies in flange distance and/or rangefinder calibration. Voigtlander is making this lens properly, but unfortunately it may or may not focus accurately on a specific camera body depending on this variation. To get even more conjectural, it could also be that the M11 is more accurately calibrated than previous models, and that’s why my lens worked well on the M11 but not my M10"

    As you may have noticed I am going back in your video series to watch some older stuff I am interested in and I really dig your channel.
    I love your city B/W of this video and your editing (I am not a preset kinda person, I rather edit every shot from scratch although a patter is often to be seen) . Since 2015 I am in Capture One camp cause LR heavily disappointed me and although they manage to update LR to a more acceptable RAW convertor for the present time, it is still not my cup of tea anymore (e.g. LAYERS ??).
    The images are really creating a mood fitted to the old city, beautiful.
    I also like your taste of models (just for photography that is, although the eastern woman facial expression is sometimes very obvious ) .
    I have been to your site to look at the portrait shots with this lens but the skin of those woman scared the hell out of me. Female skin should not be in focus to mitigate the natural unevennesses .
    Have you gone wild on clarity.
    Allow me to advice you to go to Peter Coulsons channel and look how proper B/W facial editing should be done. There is a lot to lear there for everybody.
    Anyways, great review from this affordable lens, like always.
    IMO Voigtlander can be happy with your reviews and vision.
    Thanks for sharing.

Yes I open images in PS to use layers if I want to edit something to post to say Flickr etc. I don’t retouch the skin unless obviously blemishes so it won’t look airbrushed like others might do. I quite like pores on the skin but I know everyone has their preference. (Mine probably comes from shooting film, I’m not going to blur the nice film grains if I shoot a girl on film)

    filter, costs $1,000 USD. Its almost 2 F- stops faster. I would think shallow DOF would be better with this lens. Got excellent B&H owner

    Will the Voigtlander 90mm f/2.8 Apo-Skopar work properly on a Sony a7 series camera (E mount) when an adapter is used? Because Sony uses sensor stacking, will there be any image degradation (e.g., smearing, coma, vignetting, and astigmatism) in the corners at maximum aperture? Thanks?

    Hi Matt, I’m very interested in buying this 90mm lens for close up wild flower photography for an ethereal soft bokeh look. If it produces more compression in DX mode (135mm FoV) that would be great. I was interested to hear you say this lens (or any lens) shows more compression on APS-C cameras than on full frame. I have a Nikon Z 7 (full frame) which has a DX mode whereby the Field of View is limited to the centre areas of a lens and halving the resolution of the sensor. Is this the same photo effect as shooting on an APS-C camera? I haven’t used the DX mode yet but I thought I understood that although the DX mode would limit the field of view thereby magnifying the image on the sensor, the compression wouldn’t change because the optics of the lens would be the same in both cases. Have I got the wrong end of the stick here? Many thanks.

    • @MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom
      @MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom  2 года назад

      Hi Christian, DX mode means crop in camera rather than crop on computer. Both give identical look. APS-C does the same but as no extra cropping you retain all 24mp say (vs. 50% crop results in giving 12 MP photos as comparison.
      I hope that helps!

    One of my favorite 90mm lens is the Leica 90mm f/2.8 Elmarit R. I don't know if it's the same optical formula as the M version, although I doubt it since the R version is a retro focus design. It's very contrasty with gorgeous colors. My other 90mm lens is a Leitz-Minolta M-Rokkor 90mm f/4. It's a dandy little lens. Thanks for this video. The 90mm focal length for M cameras too often gets over looked. And my final 90mm lens is a pre-war 90mm f/4 Elmar. I bought it a few months ago for US$125. I haven't shot with it yet but it's a beautiful specimen of early vintage Leica.

My point then is that mounting a full-frame lens (90mm or whatever) on a crop body does *not* make the background appear larger (relative to foreground/subject); you just *see* less of it, bc less fits in the frame, due to the crop factor. (What *would* make the background appear larger relative to foreground/subject would be an increase in camera to subject distance while holding the distance between subject and background fixed.)
