First attempt at wedding dinner shoots

2010-04-18T00:24:00.002+08:00

Brought my M6 and M8 out for a buddy's wedding last week. Ended up using the M8 with Voigtlander 35mm f1.2 lens. Settings - DNG + JPG fine. ISO1250 n B&W settings

With the ISO bumped up, it gives a nice film grain-like effect in B&W. Here's some of my better shots. This lens is quite amazing. No flare and great rendering.

七枚玉 & 八枚玉 seven elements & eight elements

2010-04-01T10:02:00.002+08:00

Just wanna share an article from somewhere...don't have the translation..sorry guys..Its about 35mm summicron.

35mm向來是LEICA自豪的焦段，原因無它，在這個焦段LEICA出過太多太多經典的鏡頭，甚至可以說，這個焦段LEICA出的鏡頭，幾乎每一支都是經典，尤其是過去有一系列俗稱八枚玉(第1代)、六枚玉(第2,3代)、七枚玉(第4代)的Summicron，以及號稱最強35mm現行的Summicron ASPH(第5代)。曾經有比較誇大的說法是認為，玩LEICA一定要玩它的35mm ，沒玩過它的35mm不算是玩過LEICA，這樣的說法雖然不一定完全正確，但證明LEICA在 35mm的成就有多麼非凡。

談LEICA的35mm，不得不提到Summicron系列最為經典，先是有日本人最愛的八枚玉，因為它是由八片鏡片構成，日文的鏡片用的漢字就是玉，所以就俗稱它為八枚玉，有人稱它為八妹(好可愛的名字阿)。這支應該是35mm中經典的經典，運用了昂貴的螢石鏡片技術，光學表現在當時相當驚人，以現今技術檢驗也是相當不俗，更重要的是散發出一種獨特的韻味，喜愛者眾，尤其是日本人，所以即使已經是五十年的老骨頭，二手價也是驚人的五六萬塊。由於八妹的螢石鏡片成本實在太高昂了，之後接手的是六枚玉。相較之下六枚玉沒有八妹這麼轟動，但還是有它獨特的風格，也是有不少喜愛者。之後LEICA進一步改良設計出七枚玉，光學表現傑出，但最吸引人的是它的散景，非常柔順，所以被封予"散景之王" 這樣崇高的殊榮。而在七妹之後，LEICA進入了非球面技術的新紀元，推出運用ASP H 技術的現行版，光學表現更進一步，甚至有史上最強的35mm鏡頭之稱。不過進入ASP H新紀元以後，LEICA玩家也開始出現不同的反應，不少人抱怨ASPH新鏡成像雖然優異，但沒什麼特色，跟日本大廠生產的那些鏡頭風格沒什麼兩樣，失去正統的 LEICA味。但不論怎樣，LEICA在35mm焦段有太多輝煌的歷史跟記錄了。

七妹(七枚玉)在Leica經典的35mm裡，除了八枚玉(第一代，幾乎是供在神桌上膜拜)外，應該算是經是經典中的經典。它是M35/2非A(A = Asph非球面)的最後一代, 許許多多的LEICA FANS 在玩了APSH非全面的現行版後，發現APSH慢慢失了LEICA的味道，開始回頭找這顆前代附有LEICA味的老鏡，普遍LEICA FANS認為這是LEICA 35mm 中的"king of Bokeh" 散景之王。

七妹早期是加拿大生產的, 最後幾年搬到德國生產, 目前市價是德國的比加拿大的貴, 一般的想法就是: LEICA是德國的, 德國生產的東西自然是正統 Pure Blood, 其實LEICA最光輝的歷史, 最成熟的產品, 最牛的鏡頭差不多都是在加拿大研發出來的, 單以成熟程度來說, 10多年的生產線, 肯定比後期短短幾年的磨合得更好, 我深信加版的七妹優於德版.

加版生產的早期七妹也有很多變種: 最早期的七妹, 裡面的部分是金屬造的, 後期生產的已經改了為塑料, 所以你別使勁擰你七妹的對焦環, 後果可能很嚴重的..... 另外, 加拿大生產少量的"虎爪"對焦桿七妹(一般版本對焦桿是半月型的 ), 鍍膜顏色也有點差別.

回到德國生產的七妹, 鏡頭編號改為在鏡頭前端(加版很多是在光圈環後面). 還有就是銀色七妹, 銀七妹鏡身是金屬的, 重量比普通七妹大很多(普通七妹是塑料+鋁合金鏡身)
