dritz Posted May 4, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 4, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I must say that the 50 Summicron-R isn't a favorite for bokeh. I'm spoiled by the 35-'lux-M ASPH and the 50 lux-M ASPH. Comments on the 60 macro-R bokeh? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Hi dritz, Take a look here Bokeh comparison of 50 Summicron-R with 60-Elmarit. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lct Posted May 5, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 5, 2010 To me the 50/2-R has a smoother bokeh than both 35/1.4 asph and 50/1.4 asph M lenses so i won't tell you that i like much that of the 60/2.8-R as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted May 5, 2010 Share #3 Posted May 5, 2010 Bokeh is so much a matter of personal taste, and of the specific conditions present at the time of any given shot. Zeiss has recently published a very good article (on their website, but in German only, I fear) on bokeh, explaining what influences bokeh and that any given lens can have very different bokeh under different circumstances. That said, I like the bokeh of my 60mm Macro-Elmarit a lot. In fact, I like the whole lens a lot and prefer it over the Summicron 50. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

batmobile Posted May 6, 2010 Share #5 Posted May 6, 2010 Salgado managed quite well with the 60 Macro-R 2.8 and I dont recall seeing ugly bokeh with his work. Were I using the R system I would use this over the 50mm for a somewhat longer FL and amazing up close performance, but each to their own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsh Posted May 8, 2010 Share #8 Posted May 8, 2010 This is just a snap of my daughter taken some weeks ago with the 50 Summilux R (60mm Filter, Latest Version). I have the 50 Summilux Asph M and it is a wonderful lens, but the 50 Summilux R is no slouch. Welcome, dear visitor!
