Film Leica M-A M10-P

Apo-Summicron M 50mm f/2 with Films

How does a film photo taken with a modern lens differ from a digital photo taken with an old lens?

So, this time I'm going to continue with yesterday's article.

The lens determines how a photograph is rendered.

To sum up, film photography with the latest lenses is not as "filmy" as it should be.

The lens I used this time was the ApoZmicron M, which boasts clear and sharp images with minimal aberration. 50mm". There may be individual differences in visual acuity, but I think this lens allows you to take pictures as if you were looking at them with the naked eye. feels.

I'm using an inexpensive film called Fujifilm Professional 100. 

The colors are light, but the images are extremely sharp and not too "film-like".

I honestly feel like "it's more costly to shoot digitally" when it's like this (laughs).

It's more of a film look when developing RAW, or rather, it's more of a film look.

This photo was taken digitally with the same lens (slightly developed in the film style).

Comparing them, it is easy to understand that the basic tendency of a photograph is determined by the lens.

What you can understand by comparing film and digital photography with the same lens

However, it was a good experience to compare film and digital photography with the same lens.

Film in film photography and the sensor in digital photography. I think I was able to understand the relationship between film in film photography and the sensor in digital photography.

I'd like to compare them in monochrome next time.

The proportion of lenses in "film-like" is bigger than I thought

So, back to yesterday's article.

Comparing the digital photos shown here with the film photos shown in this article, I think we can see that the "filminess" is to some extent due to lens aberration.

If you're going to go to the trouble of shooting with a film camera, I think you'll find it more fun to attach an old lens to your camera.

I would like to experiment with this for a while longer.
