Blanton Museum Battle Collection. Trying out my new 1:1 specialty lens.

Camera: Leica SL2
Lens: TTartisan 50mm f1.2

This lens only completely covers an APS-C sensor.
I used it in the full frame mode but with the aspect ratio in 
the camera set to 1:1. Wide open there is some corner
vignetting but when stopped down past f2.8 it goes away.
Even wide open it can mostly be corrected in post processing.

Shot mostly wide open.

    Kirk,

    You may want to look into TTartisan's newest 50mm F2 lens. I picked one up a couple of days ago and like the look of it so far. It's a little slower but who isn't.

    I'm using on an APS-C camera but it's designed for full frame.

    Hi Ralph, I've been looking at that but first I think I want to try out their 50mm f0.95 lens. It's also an APS-C lens but a trusted reviewer tells me that it almost completely covers full frame and I'd love to try it in a square format. A la the poor man's Hasselblad....

    Thanks!

    The film like look of these images is striking ( to me at least). The lens may not be sharp enough to cut a steak but it sure brings home the bacon on subjects such as these.

    Go to the Blanton at different times of the day and seasons to learn lighting and formal portraiture. Also, how to shoot square.

    I do like square format photos, and you do really have a knack for that framing.
