NB23 Posted December 31, 2016 Share #401 Posted December 31, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Depends whether you can see, use and reinforce lens characteristics to suit specific subjects. If you can't then its entirely irrelevant ..... Photography is totally irrelevant altogether, in this case. I'm more into trendiness and coolness thing. I was all over the 28 summilux but then the 28 summaron came and I jammed. I froze. Which one to buy? What does Leica want? Does she want us to shoot super clinical images or super unclinical ones? What does She want from us? Why torture us like this? P.S.: "She" is Leica. Our mistress. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share #403 Posted December 31, 2016 I just do what I like at the time. Sometimes it's clinical. Sometimes it's soft. Sometimes it's both. No point over thinking it, it's just photography. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I am, walking down the street, or eating my dinner, mid conversation with someone, generally minding my own business and the pictures pop into my head. "Take this!" She screams. It's the way she moves, they way she makes me think, what she brings out in me, it's compelling, haunting it's an obsession. I do what she says, at the cost of mostly everything.

ldhrads Posted January 25, 2017 Share #410 Posted January 25, 2017 My copy had a full service and coding from Leica - its now much better than the 80mm Summilux that I used to own ...... I did the same a couple of years ago, sent it to Leica NJ, took a month or so and it came back coded and amazing. Happy I did it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coup de foudre Posted January 26, 2017 Share #411 Posted January 26, 2017 75mm Summilux pictures looking particularly nice in Jono's M10 picture collection. It has a curiously low level of CA. One begins to wonder... That 75mm is mine (I loaned it to him). It's the last version, German made, and I bought it used in 2009 and it's never been serviced (don't even remember if it's coded or not)... It is an impossibly beautiful lens. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a very good copy as well that I would never part with. I fit in to the category of having one that wasn't great but came back from Leica a new lens that blew me away. You are right, it's impossibly beautiful. It was Jono's shot of the knife block that piqued my curiosity as I thought it had less CA than what mine exhibits on my M9. But looking in to my archive at shots which have similar lighting it's probably about the same when viewed at a similar size, only really coming apparent when viewed at 100%. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgk Posted June 1, 2021 Share #417 Posted June 1, 2021 Its a surprisingly good all-round lens. M9 and into the sun (ISO 160, 1/1000s at about f/11). Tack sharp and for a fast lens with a UVa on it, its not flaring much at all. Welcome, dear visitor!

jplomley Posted June 6, 2021 Share #419 Posted June 6, 2021 Wonder how this lens would hold up on the M10-R/M10M sensor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing as old lenses being ‘outperformed’ by sensors, if that’s what you mean. You can read some discussions about this idea on this forum. The only thing that can occur is that old lenses get a new glory when changing from film to high resolution sensors. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
