RB Design – Leica M9 – Thoughts On Lenses

I would probably buy Leica’s “normal-ish” kinds of lenses used of the 90’s or early 2000’s vintage.

  • I would probably buy Leica’s “normal-ish” kinds of lenses used of the 90’s or early 2000’s vintage. These lenses are perfect, are built to last a life time, and most of them have not been used all that much
  • I would buy the Voigtlander lenses. Specifically the 50 f1.1 and the really really wide stuff. If you are on a much tighter budget I would not hesitate to use any of that line of lenses. The build quality is extremely good, probably better than the new “budget” Leica glass. For lenses that are not quite so exotic I would probably go with the Zeiss ZM series.  The Zeiss ZM series are built by the same people as the Voigtlander lenses – just Carl Zeiss designs, tolerances, materials, etc. The 18, 21 f4.5 and 21 f2.8 are all very affordable and you will never see a difference between these and the Leica lenses.

Settings for an Accurate Histogram

  • I always tell my students to go into the menu settings of their
    cameras and set the “Contrast” setting to minimum.
  • I'll simply add to what Ray has written that it is also important that you
    set the colour mode to Adobe RGB, rather than sRGB
