I prefer evaluate the lens for his capability to give warm, cold, or neutral tones...., more or less contrast, gradation...etc Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org]En nombre de Dan C Enviado el: lunes, 01 de noviembre de 2004 18:49 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: RE: [Leica] About the Summilux 50mm Many people here comment about the need for closer-than 1 meter focusing for portraits with the Summilux-M. I have always found that people photographs at such close ranges with a 50 are very unflattering due to exagerated perpective. I even have that problem with the 75 (and had that problem with my 120 on my Hasselblad). Comments? -dan c.
