New Tri-Elmar 16-18-21 f/4.0 Asph ?

Read the Scott Kelby book Down and Dirty Tricks or the Elements 4 book by the same author. You will be surprised.....Not that I ever used this particular trick as I don't really like the result, but it does look like DOF....

I know how to do it, also I look like my mother but I am not my mother 😀
btw do you shoot birds? 😀 😀

 

[jaapv]

Buckshot 😀 Canon 10D, 100-400L and 1.4 converter. Plan to do it in the future with Leica M8, visoflex, Noflexar and TEX extender (if I can find that item...)

 

[Nachkebia]

Oh, that explains everything!!!! 😀 😀
Because of you there will be no color film in the future! because you can`t see difference, can not feel it! and you think you can do everything in photoshop!! 😀 bird shooter! 😀

 

[jaapv]

Whoa there... I shoot 50 % film. Just because I don't want to be a dinosaur doesn't turn me into James Bonds Q! If I calculate your previous post, you're 22 years of age. That means in the end you'll even forget there ever was film , whilst I have fond memories of the colloid plates I took in the Boer war! 😀

 

[Nachkebia]

Just kidding but remember every joke has little truth in, Just be aware, keep distance from me 😀 😀 😀

My dream lens: a 35-75 Duo-Summicron!

I think Ken you need to keep on dreaming. It's not going to happen...

I would rather expect a 21-24-35 Tri-Elmar (which would be 28-35-50 eq).

That is more reasonable.
16mm is too wide for a Tri-Elmar. It would be huge in size !!

out of curiosity: how do you operate a Tri Elmar? is it necessary to unmount it before you can change it's focal length? as far as I know it isn't a real zoom lens, is it?

That's why it's a dream!

There's a third ring in between the aperture ring at the front and focussing ring at the back with 3 click-stop positions. It's a bit like a zoom but only those three positions are usable. The three positions are not 28-35-50 as you might expect but 35-50-28.

 

[Mark Norton]

We believe the M8 will use the viewfinder frame lug on the bayonet ring to determine which focal length is in use - the lens code will say "Tri-Elmar" and the bayonet lug position will say 28-50-35. It can do this because each of the three possible positions is used by these three focal lengths.

I think it's unlikely that any new dual- or tri- lens would include focal lengths which selected the same frame set because the camera would not then be able to determine the focal length in use. At the wide end, that excludes then mixing 21 with 28 and 24 with 35 so something like 21-24-28, 21-24-35 would not work.

thanks, quite interesting solution 🙂
