  1. Hi, This weekend I found a Leica Summicron-C 40mm f2! I know you can easily find some on Ebay, both the m-rokkor or summicron-c versions, but frankly, I avoid buying lenses on ebay - I much prefer to assess a lens in-person which also sometimes opens the door to negotiations and bargaining. In this case, I was able to bring the price down because I noticed a slight haze on an inner element, noticeable when shining a bright light at an angle, but otherwise the glass was perfect. So I took my chance, knowing that this was probably fungus (or separation?) hoping it might be cleanable. It is by far the tiniest lens in my A7 kit, it is very well built, it focuses very well (when you actually find the focus tab). We got lucky with Arctic temperatures here in Montreal this weekend and using the lens with my gloves on was ... not ideal. I actually froze my fingers a few times I didn't do any "formal" performance analysis, but overall I am really impressed by the results, this is a very capable lens. It is amazingly small and 40mm on full frame is a really nice focal length, very versatile. This is something which amazes me: it is rather unsettling how little photographic impact lens anomalies actually have on the end-result. I have vintage lenses with front and/or rear element scratches, inner fungus or haze and frankly, I have yet to find a situation where there is an obvious impact, maybe excluding flare sensitivity. Here are a few sample pictures taken with this lens.

  3. Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I did a comparison of the Hasselblad X1D, Fuji GXF, Sony a7R II, Leica M, and Fuji X-Pro2: http://www.romeobravophoto.com/medium-format-battle/ Then I sent back the Fuji GFX, and did another Fashion Editorial using the X1D, a7R II, and a Leica Q - while my wife used a Canon 5DS-R: http://www.romeobravophoto.com/hasselblad-x1d/ An excerpt from the first comparison: "After the first day, I was very disappointed. The image quality – the big reason for buying a big sensor camera – was not remarkably better than my smaller-sensor cameras! I also noticed artifacts when lifting the shadows on some of the GFX files (that did not show in the shots taken with the X1D and Sony a7R II). The images from the Leica M240 and the Sony a7R II held up VERY well in this part of the comparison. When I brought the comparison images up on my 1440p computer screen, I asked my wife to pick which ones were from the medium format cameras. She was never 100% correct." Then I started to use a 42" 4k HDTV... "I could finally see the 3D depth, tonal gradation, and gradual fall-off that medium format cameras are known for. " The bottom line is... I really couldn't tell the difference between the Hasselblad X1D and the Sony a7R II until I started viewing the shots on a 42" 4k screen. I created a Flickr ablbum here, so you could compare all of the shots I took (for both comparisons, plus others) in higher resolution: https://www.flickr.com/photos/romeobravophoto/albums/72157684149425073 Thanks!

  15. One aspect of photography that I enjoy is black-and-whte imaging. I'm intrigued by the Leica Monochrom 246 (24 MP), but I wonder if the Sony A7r ii with 42 megapixels might give the same IQ with B&W conversion in Lightroom/Photoshop/Silver FX? Let's assume the same lens is used. Would the A7r ii have better dynamic range? Please don't go off on a flame about how foolish/expensive it is to think of buying a Monochrom...that's not the question I'm asking here. How might these two cameras compare for B&W photography?
