WestMichigan Posted October 25, 2013 Share #782 Posted October 25, 2013 Jmanvielle, with that man smoking tucked behind his own ciggarette you've wonderfully brought the interesting peculiarities of the 50 f1.2 to bear on a scene emmensely suited for the way the lens uses light. Kudos. RW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterm1_Leica Posted December 7, 2013 Share #790 Posted December 7, 2013 I do agree that the M8 works well with old glass. I have recently been experimenting with a Summarit 50 mm f1.5 and believe that the relatively low contrast of older glass perfectly complements the M8 sensor. It renders colour in an almost pastel style, giving a lovely effect to the image. The following shots are nothing really - just test shots using the camera and this lens but they do demonstrate what I am talking about in terms of that pleasant low contrast rendering with pastel colours. The effect is more obvious wide open and by about f4 its rendering is somewhat more modern. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougg Posted December 12, 2013 Share #794 Posted December 12, 2013 M8, 35mm Summicron v.1 Here we see "tilting" and "windmills"... The roadside memorial is for a young man killed here in a motorcycle crash... Central Washington state. The ridge beyond with the wind turbines is called "Whisky Dick" and must be an energy nexus, as some years earlier there was drilling for oil... Down through more than a mile of hard volcanic basalt!

lenticularis Posted January 1, 2014 Share #795 Posted January 1, 2014 Jupiter-3 on M8. The colour is way off, but I still like it. B&W version below 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterm1_Leica Posted January 5, 2014 Share #796 Posted January 5, 2014 is even more fascinating IMO than the newest and sharpest... Here a 28/5.6 Summaron on a cold winter morning.... I am convinced that old glass and digital M has something special, very subjective I know.....thoughts anyone? regards Andy I agree. I recently bought a 50mm f1.5 Summarit and found that its characteristic low contrast is a perfect match for the M8 (which is not especially good at coping with high contrast images). As a result this motivated me to also start using a 35mm f3.5 Summaron with that camera. No images available to post but I may do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougg Posted January 5, 2014 Share #797 Posted January 5, 2014 Is it likely that the resolution and other characteristics of the digital sensor display more clearly the character of the lenses? Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemusan Posted January 12, 2014 Share #798 Posted January 12, 2014 M8 + crappy condition Jupiter-8. Got the lens for free. It won't focus at infinity and the aperture ring is looser than the focus ring. I had rock bottom expectations when I threw it on the M8 but it actually turned out better than expected. Straight out of the camera. No PP. It's a lot sharper than expected. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemusan Posted January 12, 2014 Share #799 Posted January 12, 2014 More Jupiter-8. The bokeh is not bad. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemusan Posted January 12, 2014 Share #800 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) The Jupiter-8 is a low contrast lens. It preserves a lot of tones. The dinosaur was lit entirely by spotlight and the Jupiter-8 handled the extreme contrast decently well.
