![]() Led bokeh – Sony A7r & Leica APO-Telyt-M 135/3.4 Since then, a few M lenses have overtaken them in technical quality – albeit with a different rendering – and not that many. Snobs view this range of lenses as technically inferior to the M line and yet, in the 90’s Leica themselves called the (last generation) R range their Best Lenses Ever Made. When the new range of Voigtlanders and others arrive (Philippe will soon report on these), things may begin to look up. ![]() Judge accordingly.įinally, it’s probably too early to draw any conclusions regarding WA M-mount lenses as it appears not all adapters on the market are designed for full frame many mess with image corners. The excellent and heavy Zeiss OTUS 55 may fall in that category if weightlifting isn’t an issue, but most lenses of Leica-M caliber are designed with a clear purpose in mind. Forget technical reviews for these lenses. A specialist lens such as the SLR Magic HyperPrime 50/0.95 is ever worse. They often have a curved focal plane and shooting test charts or brick walls will provide absolutely no indication of performance for the intended purpose.Ī Summilux-M 50/1.4 may disappoint in the corners, as Philippe’s account will show, but tone and image beauty are second to none in the right conditions. Portrait lenses are designed to isolate a subject from its environment.Any corner smear at that aperture is a definite reject in my eyes, particularly as better alternatives exist.

Landscape lenses should be perfectly sharp all over the frame at f/5.6 – f/8 at infinity.Secondly, try to understand your lens before evaluating technical performance : Sunset over Provence – Sony A7r & Leica APO-Telyt-M 135/3.4
