With a lens like the 7Artisans 50mm 1.1, I’m seriously asking myself whether I should keep the Leica 50 Summilux ASPH.

Technical:

  • Lighting:  Westcott Ice Light.
  • Processing:  My Leica M10 presets for Lightroom.

This Fujifilm GFX 50R test shot #2 is consequent to an initial discussion here and subsequent discussion here.

The truck was moving when I photographed it.

The full-res file leaps off the screen.  You can get a sense of that effect here, even at this (much smaller) size.

The Leica M11 will have >40 MP.

That will really reveal focus errors when using fast lenses wide open.  Technique will therefore matter more than ever.

It would be nice if the new sensor achieves greater dynamic range and colour accuracy (which admittedly is already quite good with what we have).

Leica, please just keep the optical viewfinder (that’s a personal request).
