ELCAN replica lens posts

In the kitchen now: I focused on the string of :fruits" that are on the right side of the image. The bokeh looks OK to me.

Ah. my hot tea with my lunch (not shown).

It was raining yesterday.

Can you tell whether the sharpness drops in the corners of the image?

This is my "office" during the pandemic. My lecture notes and books are shown on the table.

I will continue taking photos with the ELCAN and the M10.

Looks to be a nice small artsy lens.

Emile: Thanks. What do you mean by an artsy lens? A lens for special applications with an artsy bokeh and sharpness being uneven?

Ed said that the production lens will be made out of brass and it will be heavier. It should not increase the size though.

I like the lens very much! Very nice shots, Raid! I love the rendering, would be also very nice in B+W.

Thank you Erik. Yes, this lens also does equally well with B&W images (which Ed has shown us).

Just a lens with a non eye-cutting rendition..esp close to wide open.
I use the Noctilux f1.0 when I want this..but a smaller lens may fill an easier on the hand need as well.

Good point. This lens adds hardly any bulk to the camera.

I used the ELCAN today outside our home and at Joe Patti's Seafood Market. I set the lens to F 16 and the camera to ISO 200 as we have sunny weather today.

I did not use PS to add contrast or saturation or anything else.

Probably will get this sooner or later from a friend in HK I can trust to vet it before shipping.

Thank you Emile.

This lens is not perfect but it has a natural, "clean" redering to it with character. Unfortunately I cannot get this lens at the moment. It is quite good in the highlights even with very bright sources of light but it ain't perfect. However it aint boring either. That is a plus.
