Post your Fall Foliage (and was that a Leica or a Zeiss . . .?)

[Benjamin Marks]

Self-indulgent fall foliage bokeh-paloozah pix follow. The top two images are from the same 50mm lens wide open and at f:2, the bottom two are from a different 50 wide open and at f:2. One set is from the Zeiss M-Sonnar, the other is the current Leica APO Summilux. All pix taken on a Sony Alpha-5 at base ISO with a Hawk helicoid adapter. Imported into LR4 as DNG files with default adjustments and exported as 8-bit JPGs.

Post your fall foliage and for fun, and as a bonus see if you can guess which lens took which pix. Full disclosure: I moved the tripod inbetween exposures so the point of focus is not identical for the two sets.

Here's another contrast. Top picture is a Nikon D3 with a 50/1.4 Planar at f:2.

Next is taken with a Leica M9 and 50 Asph Lux at f:2.

Leica:

Interestingly the Leica file needed a tweak to the white balance. I didn't want to do it, because it makes an A-B comparison more difficult, but I rationalized the tweak by telling myself, any comparison like this is really about the lenses. Of course, it is about the whole systems. Leica: ISO 160, D3 ISO 200 - -the base ISO's of each camera. It was an overcast day and the Leica file out of the camera was waaay too warm.

Thanks I just got this lens back from DAG, it's a keeper, focuses perfectly even up close and wide open.

Well, there is no putting one over on you guys; the bottom set is indeed from the Zeiss. Any feedback on what gave it away?

I did not record the camera for these but suspect they were both shot with a Canon G11 (1st photo) and a Nikkor (2nd photo)

Not Zeiss or Leica, but film was certainly involved.
