Leica DG Summilux on 86 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

F1point4 · 10-22-2012, 12:57 AM

Got to test out a lens that I might be purchasing soon. All of these were taken with a Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm F1.4 on a GF1. What do you all think?

I don't do this professionally btw

My favorite so far

Nice! What suspension are you on? The wheels look amazing as well.

Very very nice, the stance of your car with those wheels and that colour,,,
looks a dream mate

Im no professional photographer but this lens seems to be better in lower light or under cover rather that under natural light?

Interesting, so far my favorite shots are under natural light in sunset. I have some more full on daytime shots I'm going to process today

looks a bit overexposed to my eye
Try not centerweighting and use the camera to meter for the darker spots in your pics

17x9 ET35 square. 245/40R17 Dunlop Star Specs.

The car feels planted, flat through the corners. The ride is much stiffer than OEM, but I feel the springs are well matched to the OEM damper. I am not concerned with premature failure. I can't wait to see what these springs do with aftermarket dampers
