Guest joewehry Posted October 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've searched via keywords in the forums, on LFI, and Flickr for examples of M8 Portraits taken with the 50mm Summarit. I am preparing a trip and want to take a compact 50mm with me. Either photogs aren't keying photos, or, people are not using this lens much. (Lots of lovely film and MP examples, tho.) Is anyone hear using the Summarit with the M8 for portraits, esp BW, and if so can you point me to some examples? Cheers and good [available] light. joe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mc_k Posted October 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2009 I haven't had it long, but a (last-version) 50 Elmar is doing great for me. Definitely compact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest joewehry Posted October 21, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks so far for the links and examples. Re the request, are two extreme examples with the 75mm Summarit for comparison. Wondering if anyone's done something similar with the 50mm Summarit. Welcome, dear visitor!

sbelyaev Posted October 21, 2009 Share #12 Posted October 21, 2009 It is so much easier to handle Summarit lenses (35 and 50mm) than summicron and summilux. They are just smoother. Handling/focusing of these lenses is excellent. They practically don't flare. I realize that inexpensive lenses are not in vogue, but I don't care. I keep summilux/summicron on the shelf, summarit on the cameras (MP, M7, M8), except when I expect very poor illumination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big T Posted October 22, 2009 Share #13 Posted October 22, 2009 I use the Summarit 35mm on the M8.2 and love it..... This was taken with a Nikon SB-80DX flash (which works beautifully with the M8.2) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
