Never trusted straight out of camera files much. But with the right lighting and monochrome setting on the M11, the results are not bad. Tones are descent. And even better, no need to process them other than exporting to a specific size.
People have been asking my opinion and thoughts about this lens.
So here is the low down
I sold my silver copy of the CF 50 lux. Great lens. But didn't look good on the glossy black m11. But that's just my opinion. people like different things.
I shoot with the hood on. mainly for protection. Not much sunlight out here in the pacific northwest. so the hood is rarely needed for the light. Also, the hood just adds a little more bling to the setup. Makes it look even more vintage.
Based on the Asph vs Non Asph versions on the 50 lux, I am not one that is bothered by fringing too much since I normaly convert to B&W or if the fringing is bad, I just click a button on PhotoLab and its gone. If you look at my previous posts or reviews, it is obvious that Have a personal preference towards glass that delivers biting clinically sharp images. Having said that, on paper the 50 Lux Asph, close focus is supposed to be sharper. However, I just don's see it. They both seem to be on the same playing field.
This shot with my new black beauty focused on the center leaves right in the middle of the frame. Nothing to complain about from my end.
This is just incredibly sharp and detailed! I can NEVER get focus like this out of my 50 lux on the M11. Maybe if I shoot on my Nikon ZF with it. But this shot you posted a while back is simply 😮
That's exactly how I feel when I write code for this site.
