Hey Bobby, there is a lens hood included! Its on the front of the lens and needs to be unscrewed and reversed, then screwed back on. I do wish it was a "pull forward" like the actual Summilux. It's actually a lot of fun to use and definitely forces me to slow down (actually, at my age, I'm already slowing down!) and be more in the moment. Cheers!

No shutter, of course, so you are limited to the e-shutter. For critical focus, I set the push function of the rear dial to activate the EVF zoom. Works just like the Leica SL.

Indeed. I do this as well. Unfortunately sometimes without focus peaking I miss at times and others okay. Trial and error, and due to the weight of the lens, it’s a tad more difficult to hold still for a longer period of time

@@btonelli That's strange, i have no problem to eye focus with the ttartisan 90 1.2 xcd, is it the lens?

at 4.44 there's "no photos' and you're showing a lovely shot of the temple!! Lol!! by the look of it seems a good lens, perhaps when Focus p. becomes available, you'll get the best of it! Nice character too a bit vintage but I love it.. !

The unaligned aperture indicator dot (and aperture values) that are not centered with the depth of field scale is a little bothersome. So I modified mine. Love it on my GFX 50R. Freakin heavy though. Are the aperture blades really circular now? On mine, they look like straight blades that will create hexagonal bokeh balls when not on f/1.4.

Hello Bobby, I know theres know focus peeking on the X2D but there is an amazing focuse assist for manuals focusing, that just work so well with the XCD lenses. I tend to use that 90% of the time. But interesting.

Yes there is for XCD Lenses. Not sure if that activates for third party. For me I needed to magnify and move the focusing point etc. was a bit challenging at times but managed.

Nice video. Only recently became aware there was an XCD version of the lens. The GFX version is wonderful. I had hoped, when I switched to the Hassy, that they would have eventually produce a 65 1.4 I could mount on my x1dii. Guess that time has come. As I don't shoot moving subjects, I'm hopeful this can give me the look I'm after. BTW, that shot of the Batman figurine is fantastic. How close were you able to focus (0.7 mm, as the focus scale would indicate?)?

You need to set to work without shutter or something to that effect

“Really really!”, “Very very!”

Are all of those photos unedited? I only ask because they all look like they have very low contrast which doesn’t seem to be the case normally for either the X1D or X2D files using xcd lenses.

@btonelli

Photos were edited but I also show non edited in the Lightroom portion. It resolves like a vintage lens which tend to have lower contrast vs new lenses

That looks like you can pull out an integrated lens hood as on Leica M lenses, e.g. as Summicron 50 or Summilux 50 have one. Didn’t you try? Unfortunately it does not come with leaf shutter, that would be worth the exra money, the bokeh looks awesome.

@btonelli

Жыл бұрын

I didn’t try any lens hood with it unfortunately. I don’t have it with me now to try as well. The bokeh is nice though.

There is a built-in lens hood incorporated with this lens (if it's the same as the GFX mount version), then you should be able to twist the metal ring at the front of the lens and reverse screw mount it and it will become the lens hood.

You can't use this lens on a Leica S, because the S flange distance is 53mm, so I doubt you will be able to focus more than 50cm at infinity.

Your comment is so ignorant and insulting many others users who can’t afforded expensive lens . I’m an Leica shooter since 1970s , owned so many Leica gears including many noctilux lenses. Lately I have a try on my friend China made lens the TTartisan 50mm 0.95 and cost 1/20 of the Noctilux 0.95 but the quality and IQ is so good from f2 you hardly see the different . With technology advances today many China lens makers has produce so many good lenses . We are ought to thanks them for bring out more affordable lenses and better quality that benefit many photographers or hobbyists rather than saying your camera is expensive you need to used expensive lens .

Always wanted to buy a 10.000 euro hand build camera and then put a chinese manual lens on it that destroys the color theory and the whole point of buying a hasselblad...
