iphoenix Posted October 10, 2011 Share #443 Posted October 10, 2011 The Hektor 7,3 cm 1,9 has had its deserved part in this thread... here's one from it... a "natural" low-contrast that is even a pity to force in Post Processing...

iphoenix Posted October 10, 2011 Share #445 Posted October 10, 2011 I never realised what a beautiful image that lens could give. Are there any others that can show similar defocussed images?

ErikP Posted October 16, 2011 Share #446 Posted October 16, 2011 Elmarit 1:2.8/90 Leitz Wetzlar - 1964 I was lucky to find this lens for as less as 150 €. Full of dust and glass was needed to be cleaned. The front parts have the glass installed and the rear part seam to be just a barrel. I actually ended up taking it apart - as much as a dared and made all parts shine again It also had a back focus problem on the M8 - and this is the part I woul like to have some feedback on- i adjusted this by adding a small distanse between the barrel and the front part that contains the glass. Have no idea if this is à correct way of sorting out a back focus problem but now the lens is spot on:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

menos I M6 Posted October 17, 2011 Share #449 Posted October 17, 2011 Here is one from Yesterday with the Canon 100 ƒ2 LTM + M8.2: Untitled by teknopunk.com, on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
menos I M6 Posted October 18, 2011 Share #450 Posted October 18, 2011 I received a 1949 Leitz 5cm ƒ2 Summitar in the mail Yesterday and took it for a spin on my commute ride to work this morning. It is the father of the later 5cm collapsible Summicron, which I learned to like a lot lately. The Summitar doesn't accept filters directly (on my vintage lenses, I like to use a B&W MRC filter for protecting the very soft glass from cleaning marks, whereas I am filter adverse with all modern lenses for known reasons). It protrudes further into the camera, when collapsing, than the later Summicron, but I will measure, if this will cause problems with the M8.2 and M9 or not. Peeking through an M3 in bulb exposure, the Summitar looks awfully close to scratch the shutter ;-) Here are a few first shots: Untitled by teknopunk.com, on Flickr water shop by teknopunk.com, on Flickr Untitled by teknopunk.com, on Flickr swirl by teknopunk.com, on Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergiofigliolia Posted October 19, 2011 Share #451 Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) a basic question. Getting for instance a jupiter 8 and adding a m39 to m mount thread would this mean it is no rangefinder coupled for focus?

brianv Posted October 21, 2011 Share #452 Posted October 21, 2011 a basic question. Getting for instance a jupiter 8 and adding a m39 to m mount thread would this mean it is no rangefinder coupled for focus? http://rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111193 "Yes and No"... The Leica Thread Mount Jupiter-8 and Jupiter-3 lenses will RF couple with a Leica when used with an M-Mount adapter. BUT- the Jupiter series of lenses are built to the Zeiss standard. The Trick to making it focus on the Leica- adjust the shim to optimize for close-up and wide-open. The Focus Shift of the Sonnar, ie shift towards infinity when stopped down, helps out. Stop down to F2.8 for distance work. 1955 J-3, wide-open at F1.5 on the M8. Focus is spot-on. after the rain by zeiss_sonnar, on Flickr I recognize that several of the Jupiter lenses in this thread have been optimized for the Leica. It is not hard to do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergiofigliolia Posted October 22, 2011 Share #453 Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks Brian, I don't understand what the shim is 1.for a start I should buy a jupiter-8: is there a difference in the different types I see on ebay? Some of them are black and some chrome. Should I prefer any of them? 2.the Leica M mount adapter. Is anyone good? Look at these links: M39 LSM LTM screw mount Lens Adapter for Leica M 50-75 | eBay 6-Bit Code Leica M39 lens to M Mount Adapter 50-75 mm | eBay Has anyone had any experience with either of these? 3. is there a visual guide on tuning focus on such lenses? I'm a bit lost on this one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianv Posted October 22, 2011 Share #454 Posted October 22, 2011 A shim controls the stand-off between the optics module and the focus mount. To make a russian lens work on a Leica, it typically has to be reset. It is usually aluminum or brass, but you can use aluminum foil or copper tape. You can use Paper for fine work. Must J-8's are made by KMZ- all are good. I like the 1950s chrome J-8's with the focus tab, and the later black ones. Some of the 1960's J-8 mounts in chrome- tolerances were not as good. Get a good LTM adapter- many of the cheap ones are the wrong thickness, and lenses may not align well. The Voigtlander adpaters are very good. Welcome, dear visitor!
