I love these shots!

I do like that first one, wolfpeterson! The light emphasizes the contours of the land, and the eye cannot help but follow the trails...

M8 + 35/1.4

I really do wonder about these people that claim it's not a sharp lens, wide open?

A few from a recent trip to Omaha:

I think your shots do the best job of displaying the performance of this lens a really excellent middle distance lens in particular. That is were is seems to shine.

Here's four shots from my most recent roll. M4-P, New Portra 400.
The last shot illustrates the barreling out that drives some people crazy--doesn't really get me that bad.

First shot is either f/2 or f/1.7--It don't notice the lens going all glowy until I hit f/1.4 proper; in my experience, f/2 is generally safe in that regard.

Also, I tend to think the bokeh cleans up somewhat at f/2 as well; however, this may be based on circumstantial evidence.

Leica M2, Nokton 35mm f1.4 SC - at f1.4 and 1/60s. This is with Kodak Double X, rated at 400 iso and developed in Td 201 two bath developer. About a 30% crop from the full negative.

Question to whom it may concern: do you all actually compose with the focus shift when you stop down from F/1.8 to F/5.6, or you never bother compensating it manually, and rather rely on the increased depth of field to have your subject in focus (or almost in focus)?

 

[Brian Legge]

I haven't worried about focus shift. Its a 35mm lens so stopping it down gives me enough dof to ignore it.

Frankly, rangefinder calibration and imprecision on my part focusing due to parallax are more likely to be a source of problems shift with this lens.

Only at close focus. At longer distances there is no practical problem.
