Here's an oldie that I just acquired.

 

The glass is pristine and mechanically and cosmetically too!

 

The Summicron 50 Collapsible...

 

Just a few test shots at the moment..

Hey Jean-Marc - how is your 50/1.2 ;-)

 

It's looking good, I hope, you get to love it!

 

As your late love for the classic landmark Canon rangefinder glass, I have a little candy for you - ever heard about the black Canon 100 ƒ2 LTM lens?

It's a long time favorite of mine and I decided, to shoot this year's 24h race of Le Mans with it.

A few shots from killing time at the airport are on my blog today - fresh from the hotel room:

 

2012 Le Mans 24h - heading for France

 

This lens is basically the older twin brother of the black 85 ƒ1.8 LTM lens - very similar optical and mechanical construction, hence many similarities in imaging.

 

Anyway, I am hitting myself, that I forgot, to take a lens hood with me !@#$%

Dirk,

yes, I'm digging this 50 1.2 lens, nice and smooth at night !

Had a look at your late blog post and for sure you're having fun practicing panning and shooting on a long lens !

Le Mans will be rewarding :)

Hope you'll shoot at night even with long-ish exposure and letting some flare in from the cars ' headlights ! Let us know how the M9 performs at 2500 iso or more :)

Have you brought a tripod along?

Maybe that forgotten hood will set you free from the getting the perfect shot and let you enjoy shooting back lit cars :)

 

Have fun ! Viel spass !

Dirk,

I apologize if it sounds like I'm giving out shooting advises in my previous post !

I was projecting myself into the situation at Le Mans and thinking out loud on a sunday evening .

Looking forward to seeing your shots !

Best regards,

Jean-Marc.

The new Summicron 50 AA is surely stunning... but is its grandafther to be discarded ? :o

(Summicron DR from 1963 - M8)

 

Luigi...Thought you can not use the DR with the M8!!?? Did you just fit it and not use the focus?

I use its lenshead unscrewed and mounted on the SOMKY+UOORF device, with which it reachs the same short focus as the DR on the film bodies it can be mounted on ;)

(the only way to use it on M8... but why throw away such a fine lens ?:))

Even at posting size/resolution the image'sinherent sharpness and vividness come shining through.

It's as if there has been a window opened in my screen showing the scene moment you've wonderfully documented.
