Jiukuic5609 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks! I think this lens has one of the most rich histories, second only to the 50mm f/1.4 Summilux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted February 24, 2010 Share #5 Posted February 24, 2010 I do own this lens, a 1983 'Jubilee' engraved one. When I found out how good it is on the M9, I sent it to Leica for coding and general refurbishing. It now looks and feels mint. Here is a shot I made yesterday with it at a local motorcycle museum. Halogen light, auto AWB, ISO 1000, f:4 and speeds between 1/60 and 1/24. The other frames are equally good. The old man from the Age of Walter Benser (he designed the lens, you know). .

chris_tribble Posted February 24, 2010 Share #6 Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks for the review... Nice cat! The first Leica lens I ever bought (alongside an M6). I funded the process with some unexpected consultancy earnings + the sale of my father's ex-luftwaffe Leica 3G and a 50mm Elmar - great for collectors, but not such a good tool for a working photographer. That was about 15 years ago. I had the lens coded and CLA'd by Malcolm Taylor (in the UK) when I got the M8 and it's continued to be a mainstay of my photography. NO desire to go for the larger heavier lux, or to replace with the aspherical version (though I agree that this is a beautiful lens...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
