Leica M10 with Zeiss G 45mm 2.0 (adapted mount)

[raid]

I used today a converted Zeiss G 45mm 2 with my M10. The Zeiss lens has a great reputation for its superb optics.

The light was very good today. and the lens delivered excellent looking images. There was one dust spec on the top left corner that was on the lens and not on the sensor. I checked this out after I got home. Oh well.

I did not use PS to enhance anything in the images. The light was really good then.

Is this the funleader conversion?

 

[raid]

No. It was someone here at RFF [Jim B.] who did such conversions then, and I bought one adapted lens from someone who bought it from him. The cost was less than what funleader is charging.

Lovely Raid. Both light and rendering, as well as the pictures themselves. Which framelines does it bring up and how is framing on the M10?

Thank you Mike. I hardly ever study the framelines in my cameras. I really don't. Most likely, it brings up the 50mm frame, but I just check on the screen the first image I get, and then I sortof know how to compose all other images.

These look great, Raid. Lovely color and just the right contrast.

Incredibly gorgeous photos! The Contax/Zeiss 45mm is everything so many say it is. I get similar performance from my Zeiss ZM 50mm f/2 Planar. in my opinion, two of the best Zeiss lenses ever made.

Thank you for your feedback, The lens is awesome. I skipped getting the ZM 50/2 Planar because I have a 45/2.
