Thanks Steve, think my monitor is ok its a Dell 27" ultra which is calibrated for RBG by Dell unlike some. I use IE as my browser and when viewing in LR it does show a little more detail in the shadows - I did boot the shadow area more but didn't like the look as much.
Beautiful!. I like both of these. I might have been tempted to recover just a tad of detail in the very dark areas but that is personal. Very nice all the same. Great IQ. Regards Steve\n\n\n
Hi Steve, Thanks for your comments I did play around with dark area's but found this to be the most pleasing to me - as you say its a personal choice which might not suit everyone.
Hi Paul, what's it like focusing a wide angle lens on a rangefinder? Do you have to use an external VF?\n\n\n Hi Vaperture, the Zeiss Distagon 15mm is not rangefinder coupled for focus so you just have to guess but with such a wide angle its not really necessary only on subjects less than 7ft and then only if you're shooting wide open at f2.8 as everything will be in focus from 1ft to infinity if you set the lens to say f8. All of the photo's in my profile shot with this lens have been taken without a tripod and without the 15mm finder I only use the finder for people shots. Hope this helps, by the way I love this lens and could shoot all day and every day with it its such a first class and interesting lens to work with. ;-)
