A 90mm Elmarit M is also a landscape lens.

The beach picture from Louttit Bay has incredible contrast and colours - great! Have you done any post-processing?

The tonality is great on this photo. Really nice. I've only used Neopan 1600 so I have to try the 400 version.

The "fat" Tele Elmarit is really nice. What film did you use for this photo?

[benmacphoto]

Philipus, I used Ektar 100, but scanned it in black and white.
I was afraid the lens would have flare problems since I was
not using the lens hood and the sun was coming in at a very harsh angel.

Thanks. No post processing. It is somewhat contre jour which adds to the contrast of the figures particularly.

I'm really looking forward to using this lens for portraits, but it's damn good for casual strolling around to!

[rsolti]

Great shots posted....liked the lens except for up close. The bokeh didn't jive with me. For landscapes though, excellent lens

[rsolti]

Two more....first a 16 shot pano

f/4.8

I have the "fat" tele-elmarit 90/2.8. In theory, the "skinny" one that followed mine is better, but I've never been unhappy with it.

A couple portraits with it:





And I stuck it on the front of my new-to-me Visoflex III and did a little macro work with it this past weekend:

Brilliant pix!

Jockos, nice to see a piece of home there! And I like the Sony amp in the background

rsolti - are those merged photos or crops? Excellent colours. I like the bokeh on the portrait, very dreamy rendition.

Drew, those are great portraits. I think the fat tele-elmarit is a fantastic lens.

Thanks, they are merged in CS5. They look beautiful blown up

In reviewing this thread, I rediscover the contrast and "pop" that the 90 elmarit-M delivers, especially in color photos. This lens works exceptionally well in near-far situations where you want the background in soft-focus; the image retains contrast while nicely bluring the background.

some shots today.

Great shot you could title it "Paying the Boatman" or something.

Here is a shot taken with the latest version of the 90mm Elmarit-M. The notes on the image correspond with the 100% crops. It shows the type of resolution the lens is capable of. This is a hand-held 'snap-shot' on Adox CMS 20 film. If I had used a tripod, release cable, etc., the result probably would have been better. Also, there is actually more information on the negative than in the scan. This is a straight scan with no processing done except for setting black and white points in Photoshop - absolutely no sharpening.

Wow that's very impressive. Did you scan at the highest resolution with the Coolscan?

Yes, the scan was at 4000dpi and I used Vuescan software. The 100% crops are straight off the 4000dpi scan.

Hans, I don't see the issue with your development. What is wrong with it?

[raytoei@gmail.com]

I found that the Elmarit 90mm with the R-D1
makes it into a 135mm focal length. With a
right finder, the images are quite interesting.

here is a grab shot...

Perhaps I'm the only one that likes the Elmarit-M
