Hi All! I just purchased a GXR + A12 50mm from a nice bro here. Can you guys share your personalized detailed color settings? I am currently tweaking with Setting1 and Setting2 colors. :)
 

i havent use any personal colour settings yet but i love the cross process. so cool!

Thanks, that's the beauty of our GXR, small and sleek, so that can bring more lenses if needed :)


My backpack during the trip, includes a Nikkor 200mm f/4 in the top left hand corner pouch ;p

Cool, thanks man! By the way, are you using your own color settings? So far I am liking the Standard color setting. Bold and rich color rendition. :)

I use the A12 M mount, so only old manual lenses. Not sure what's your setup, but I find for portraits, I use standard colors in Raw, which almost every shot renders better skintone for me. As for landscapes, it's always on vivid mode and raw as well so as to retain as much details as possible. I was experimenting setting 1 before, the jpg skintone is ok however, but the lips seems too pinkish for my liking, so I'm back to standard/vivid settings.
 

Old lenses gives a different feel to pictures that modern lens can't. Especially bokeh. Most of them do flare quite a bit esp LTM ones, some level adjustment usually solves the problem. Some shots taken this afternoon at botanical gardens of my kids to share.

Canon 35/2 LTM. A sharp lens, with a slight swirl.

Minolta Rokkor 58/1.2. A soft lens, with very creamy bokeh. Great for "soft and glowy" portraits. Color a little neutral.

Leica Leitz Summarit 50/1.5. A lens that swirls quite a bit, and paints pretty well.

Yeah so far I am liking Standard+Raw. But on JPEG I find that the blues and greens are a little bit saturated. I am still experimenting with Setting1 but with little success so far.

Try Natural.

Oh no ... the bug bit me. And I told myself not to get another lens!! LBA (Lens Buying Addiction)!!

Appears that even manual focus lenses coupled with GXR M is still possible with family members as soon by the many examples here. I have been quite "successful" with my biogon 21mm for family outings where I require DOF. It's simply PNS really when you set it to f5.6, but with so much more quality in the image.

More of this lens can be viewed here

Grab it if you see one, this one's a keeper! The only little complain, 1m minimum focus distance...

The CZ lenses are really top notch.

Here's one to share of ZM 50/2 taken a while back. Sharpness end to end, no post sharpening required, even wide open.
