previlo Posted January 19, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) In parallel to the Summilux 50 thread (see http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m9-forum/112541-samples-50mm-asph-summilux-1-4-a.html), would you mind to share your Summicron 50 pictures with the M9 with max 2.0 setting? Thanks again! Oliver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Hi previlo, Take a look here Samples of the 50mm Summicron at 2.0 with M9 please?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Shootist Posted January 19, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 19, 2010 There is no ASPH 50mm Summicron (f/2) so samples will not be coming. There are 28, 35, 75 and 90mm Summicron (f/2) ASPH lenses but the 50 Cron was never produced in a ASPH version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted January 19, 2010 Share #3 Posted January 19, 2010 I'm sure most normal people know what the OP means. I haven't owned a 50 Summicron for years so cannot help with the posting of photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotomiguel Posted January 19, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 19, 2010 This is my most used lens. I know that the summilux is may be better and in the future, I would like to buy one. But until now I enjoy the cron very much. I have many pictures with the M8 at f2 but with the M9 I can show you just a few: Zenfolio | Slideshow | Miguel Massanet Amer Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, appologize for being not so 100% correct, typed too quick and now it is too late o change the title. But I assume that 100% of the folks here are smart enough to figure that out...

Fotomiguel Posted January 20, 2010 Share #9 Posted January 20, 2010 Beautiful pictures! I love them! You have a flair. Thanks. I'm from Mallorca. From my point of view, this lens for its price is incredible. Now with the M9 becomes much more versatile.With this lens and the M9 set in 400 iso I have the feeling of working in similar shooting conditions that one of my favourite photographers did.

Overgaard Posted January 20, 2010 Share #11 Posted January 20, 2010 I'll be posting a load of them soon on my Leica M9 article (a new page 8 coming in few days) but the old Summicron f/2.0 is sitting on the M9 for 90% of the shots for the last three weeks, and always fully open at f/2 for reasons of DOF and bokeh. Now, what I find interesting (and confusing) is the different editions of the 50mm Summicron-M f/2 lenses that exist. As a brand-new ASPH has not come around, which one is the best then? And I think no-one can really say because some say the very old Version (I) is the one that has the best bokeh, and even those newer 50mm Summicron-M f/2.0 lenses that are said by Leica Camera to be the exact same inside (the outer changed), many users say have a different look. 50mm lenses are almost always good as it's an easy design to make, and Leica have been really good at this in both the R and M series of 50mm. So if one - as I definitely do - like the 50mm format above 35mm or 28mm (which are also considered standard lenses), it's a matter of studying the available 50mm editions and choose the right edition. When decided on that, then comes the next question: The non-ASPH or the ASPH 50mm Summilux-M ... or both? In any case, I'll have a new page with lots of 50mm shots from the M9 up in few days at leica.overgaard.dk - Thorsten Overgaard's Leica Pages - Leica M9 Digital Rangefinder Camera Till then, anyone who can contribute with knowledge on the 50mm Summicron-M range, and samples perhaps, would be very welcome.

stevem7 Posted January 21, 2010 Share #12 Posted January 21, 2010 Its funny but I have tried out every Leica 50 there is and I just purchased a 50 Summicron brand new for a GREAT price. After using it for a few days I fell in love with it and actually prefer it to the 50 Lux ASPH. It really is a great lens on the M9. I do not have anything worth posting just yet but will soon as I will be out and about this weekend with it. Thorsten, can't wait to see your report with the 50!

rob_w Posted January 21, 2010 Share #13 Posted January 21, 2010 I agree. The summilux is beautiful but the summicron is no dowdy sister either. Sometimes the discussion glosses oveer this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
