Lcam11 Posted August 29, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 29, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm waiting for a Summaron 2,8cm f5,6 I have ordered on the net. Already have the Metabones adapter with 6 small "holes" (sorry my English, couldn't find the word..) in the mount ready to fill with black and white paint. I know it is probably not neccessary to code this lens, but it could be fun to try...Suggestions on what code to use? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Hi Lcam11, Take a look here Summaron 28mm on M8...coding suggestions?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted August 29, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 29, 2011 It is certainly neccessary to code the lens, if you are using an IR filter as you should. I would try the 28 Elmarit pre-asph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcam11 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted August 29, 2011 I would try the 28 Elmarit pre-asph. Thanks.. do you mean ver.IV ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 29, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 29, 2011 That should be fine. Basically the oldest version you can find a code for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted August 29, 2011 Share #5 Posted August 29, 2011 I would try to code it like the Elmarit-M 28/2.8 v3 # 11804 (000011). I have no experience with your lens though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted August 30, 2011 Share #9 Posted August 30, 2011 I used my one sometimes on M8... coding is welcome by sure : no idea about which is the best, but join the opinion that "an old 28" makes sense... of course, take care that your LTM adapter is also for 28 focal (you need code AND correct frame activation to have correction applied). And... do not forget that Summaron 2,8 is an A36 fliter lens... you must find a solution for the UVIR filter (I have a step-up ring for E39... it prevents the use of original hood, which is anyway very difficult to find... I verified that a round hood for 35 mm is good, onto M8) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lcam11 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share #11 Posted September 4, 2011 Hi all, The lens arrived in good shape...it is so tiny!...Was out already the first day to test the lens on my M8. The 6-bit-coded adapter worked at first try (I chose Elmarit Ver3) While waiting for a UV/IR solution I took the filter from my Summarit35 and taped in onto the Summaron. I had no lens hood. I discovered that the lens is very sensitive to flare and straylight, but otherwise I was very pleased with the result. I was positively surprised at the results. Of course ,one can probably see that the pictures are not taken with a modern Asph lens....I guess the lens can be used if you are looking for a special (a bit soft) effect /mood. I don't know if the "some faint cleaning marks and very light haze" has much imapct om my photos? Anyway.........here they are vintage 'Leitz' lens Test - a set on Flickr g- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
