  1. Wie gut oder schlecht man mit soeiner Linse fotographieren kann ist Leica doch völlig egal. Der Preis auch denn anscheinend gibt es Leute die schlange stehen um sowas zu kaufen. Von daher ist der Vergleich zu einer 1000 Euro Linse von Voigtländer irrelevant.
  2. Thanks for the replies....I'm using the filter on a M3 with the external meter which makes it a bit difficult to meter through the filter....I'll just give it a try to meter without the filter, adjust the filter and then just open one more f stop.
  3. I have a basic question about the swing out polariser. How mamy f stops does it 'swallow' and is this always the same no matter how you turn/adjust it? So, basically, if i put it on the lens and always leave it there is it equivalent to a x stop nd filter? Thanks
  4. The camber of the rear wheels suggests that it's based on an swing axle beetle platform or something similar
  5. The focusing cam of the goggled Summaron 3.5 is sloped whereas the normal version is flat I believe..... Luigi kindley posted some photos of his Summarons. Is there really a difference in thicknes/lenght of the whole lens or does it just look like that because of the thick 'gogglemount'. What about the faster versions?
  6. I would agree with you that at 0.65m focus on the lens the rangefinder thinks it's 1m. However this doesn't explain the trickery of the round goggle which definitely moves the rangefinder patch in the viewfinder vertically and horizontally when adjusted with the three little screws.... so what exactly is it's purpose if not to suggest that 1m is actually 0.65m? I think the square goggle doesn't do anything to the fixed and movable rangefinderpatches. Scratch that as you are right: all it does is reduce what is in the rangefinder patch from a 50mm view to a 35mm....
  7. Which is what since the rangefinder limitation is either 1 or 0.7m?
  8. Thanks for your answer, but i' find i a bit confusing. My goggled Summaron 3.5 focuses to 0.65m like the one in the picture by bayernfan, so it seems that the focus mechanism between the goggled and ungoggled version has to be different. My theory is that the rangefinder goggle tricks the rangefinder by altering the angle at which the subject to focus on gets to the prism and therefore allows to focus closer than normally possible with the rangefinder.
  9. hi there, I have a question: does anybody know what exactly the differences are between the goggled 35mm lenses for the M3 and it's ungoggled versions apart from the obvious lack of goggles? As far as i can work out the optical parts should be the same, but there seems to be a differences in thickness of the mount /helicoid/ focusing mechanism, the goggled ones being thicker and thus allowing for closer focus? Assuming that the optics are the same, focus at infinity should happen on both versions at the same distance of the sensor? As the goggled version allows for closer focus, am i right in assuming that the focusing mechanism must have a different gearing and or more throw (for lack of a better technical term)? Are the differences the same between the goggled/ungoggled Summaron, Summicron and Summilux lenses? Are the goggles all optically the same? Many thanks
  10. Voigtlander 50mm as recent as possible. I wouldn't bother with a goggled 35 on an M3 as your first and only lens as the point of an M3 is to enjoy the viewfinder with a 50mm or longer lens. A leica lens for 500 is going to be terrible/really old/scratched/hazy/dirty or everything together
  11. To answer your first question: put it on ebay for the price you think is justified and prepare to wait a long time.
  12. i don't know, but lot's of German companies used british/whitworth thread until the late 30's when they 'upgraded' to the metric system.
  13. Very nice. You should post this in some of the "which apo fle summinocti should i get" threads as its mostly not the gear that takes good photos
  14. I didn't identify the car as i have nothing to post....my films are being processed....so first come first serve
  15. The blue one is a Ferrari and was designed by Zagato...hence the 612 headlights....
