Paul J Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share #261 Posted March 6, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Her vice is handbags, the purchases of which I fully support. My wife loves me very much. :) I think it's ludicrous that a leather sack with a bit of metal furniture can sell for the same price as my Leica lenses. She thinks it's ludicrous that a lump of metal and glass can sell for the same price as a her handbags. Anyhow, on counting her handbags and my lenses I have some catching up to do. Hmmm Buy the three lens Hermes kit and give her the bag. Done. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Hi Paul J, Take a look here 75 Summilux. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
TheGodParticle/Hari Posted March 6, 2014 Share #262 Posted March 6, 2014 I should clarify that I don't wear the bags. I don't think I'd be allowed even if I wanted to ) Are you absolutely sure you don't want to reconsider your stance? An M/MM/M9 + the 35 Lux FLE + the Noct 0.95 and the 75 Lux will fit in this bag very nicely http://m.louisvuitton.com/mobile/eng_US/Collections/Men/Mens-Bags/products/Camera-Bag-DAMIER-GRAPHITE-N58027 "A man bag with swag" 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IWC Doppel Posted March 21, 2014 Popular Post Share #263 Posted March 21, 2014 I took out the old 75 to the Ballet in Bath last weekend and whilst I was only able to take a few pictures I was reminded just how well this lens copes with high contrast low light scenes. I do recall reading in the past that Mandler had an eye for theatre when he designed the lens. This was ISO500 F1.4 Welcome, dear visitor!

jackstraw Posted March 21, 2014 Share #264 Posted March 21, 2014 Beautiful shot. How close were you and has the photo been cropped? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWC Doppel Posted March 21, 2014 Share #265 Posted March 21, 2014 Yes heavily cropped which is something I try not to do very often, but difficult to move around and get close at the ballet ! The full image below, the ballerina was sublime and very photogenic Welcome, dear visitor!

jcraf Posted May 11, 2014 Share #270 Posted May 11, 2014 I'm sure you've made the right decision today, but if you change your mind in a few month or years there will be a few 'I told you so' comments Open invitation........Just bought a mint boxed (German-made) one. I always secretly told myself that if I saw one in this condition again I'd buy. This will be the second one I've owned over the years and I'm not letting this one go....... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcraf Posted May 13, 2014 Share #271 Posted May 13, 2014 It's here. Lovely example, I'm relieved to say. Focusing is so smooth and buttery, perfectly weighted. It certainly seems lighter to focus than my last example and my f1 Noctilux. Clear blades and glass........ Seems bang on at f1.4 (with my eyes assisted by a 1.4x magnifier) Off to shoot in London tomorrow after my business meeting..... Welcome, dear visitor!

bephoto Posted May 19, 2014 Share #272 Posted May 19, 2014 Just out of curiosity I overlapped these MTFs I'm a proud owner of 75 Lux and 90 Apo and thinking of getting 75 Apo but this comparison put me off. NOTE: 75mm Lux is @f/1.4 on the first MTF I wish Peter Karbe could design a 75mm Apo-Summilux-M ASPH I would pay $7K for that instead of another 50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirekti Posted May 19, 2014 Share #273 Posted May 19, 2014 Well, I see a big difference in the MTFs, which is also seen in the samples. For me one thing is obvious, 75lux is a dream portrait lens, 75 cron a bit better all rounder, and smaller in size. I wish I owned both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted May 19, 2014 Share #274 Posted May 19, 2014 I wish Peter Karbe could design a 75mm Apo-Summilux-M ASPH I would pay $7K for that instead of another 50 If Karbe follows his current design philosophy, then you would have a 75mm with the ugliest OOF of all the long Leica M lenses. .

bephoto Posted May 19, 2014 Share #275 Posted May 19, 2014 If Karbe follows his current design philosophy, then you would have a 75mm with the ugliest OOF of all the long Leica M lenses.. Sadly that is the case but I love his 50mm Summilux-M ASPH. and going to get this new 35Lux. For 75mm I would prefer to have a heavy 1.4 than a light f/2. its already a short tele lens and weighs almost like a camera, couple of grams trading of for 1.4 doesn't bother me. according to new 50mm Philosophy they should produce 50mm elmar-m f/2.8 again just to fill the gap, maybe they can make 50mm F/1 and f/1.1 and f/1.2 also just for the joy of it. and an Apo version for each... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirekti Posted May 19, 2014 Share #276 Posted May 19, 2014 If Karbe follows his current design philosophy, then you would have a 75mm with the ugliest OOF of all the long Leica M lenses.. He designed 75mm APO, and I don't find the OOF bad at all, the same goes for 50 lux. The only one he "missed" is a 35 FLE, but I guess this was a trade of for such a great lens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it and don't crave additional sharpness at low to modest apertures. I bet it's even better on the monochrom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it and don't crave additional sharpness at low to modest apertures. I bet it's even better on the monochrom I had the 75 summilux on M8 some years ago. Fantastic lens.. only problems were it being the size of a baseball bat, weighting like a bag of bricks and had a too long focus throw for my liking. Picture quality was never an issue, simply fantastic. I've always liked how Mandler lenses render. They might not be technically the best anymore, but they draw beautiful and smooth. //Juha 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
