wattsy Posted August 11, 2010 Share #21 Posted August 11, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I guess the 3D effect is a matter of personal taste but I find it about as compelling as the old Viewmaster system (which is great when you are about eight).

Advertisement Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Hi wattsy, Take a look here New 35mm summilux vs. 35mm summicron. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Xmas Posted August 11, 2010 Share #22 Posted August 11, 2010 Hi 3D has always has some following from in Victorian times prints and simple viewer, Pola or red green glasses at movies, in 50's, through to Nimslo in late '70s, FSU in 90s, to Shrike III today,, but never caught on commercially in the past, even if the effects were vivid. Color made it commercially (buried mono), 3D did not. Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VSOP Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share #23 Posted August 11, 2010 Summarit range Includes comparisons to the Summicrons...see overall verdict, where he rates 35 Summarit higher overall. Of course, this is just one opinion, but consistent with some other forum members' experiences. (I hope there's not a limit to how many times I post this same link...and I don't even own one of the nice little buggers.) Jeff Another opinion I prefer to buy used Leica lenses, which are better made than these new discount lenses. On the other hand, the optics of these new Summarit-M lenses are superb; it's just the price and mechanics which are inferior to used Leica lenses.

Jeff S Posted August 11, 2010 Share #24 Posted August 11, 2010 Another opinion Source: Leica Summarit-M Lenses I read the link to understand the detail on his assessment and...oh, there isn't any. Your quote is virtually his entire review from 3 years ago. He only says the focal lengths are "boring" (35, 50, 75 and 90). Should I donate to his site for this bit of wisdom? Gotta love Ken.
