adan Posted July 12, 2021 Share #441 Posted July 12, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) 75 Summilux (1980) is based on 50 Summilux v. II (1961). The Noctilux f/1.0, if anything, bears the strongest resemblance to the 50 Summilux v.I (1959) and preceding Summarit/Xenon f/1.5 - two thin rear elements. Welcome, dear visitor!

(images above from LEICA LENS COMPENDIUM, Erwin Puts, 2001) In other words, lens design - at least as practiced by Leica - is not necessarily a perfectly-linear progression. Ideas and inspirations get re-used out of chronological order sometimes. Interestingly, the 50 Nocti f/0.95 has a passing resemblance to the 75 Summilux, especially in the rear groups. The f/0.95 of course adds (or splits off) one element (the second), and has aspheres, and FLE, and no doubt changes some (or even most) glass types. In the end they are all modified double-gauss layouts with "extra" elements, at heart. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Also does your copy focus accurately wide open from MFD all the way to infinity? Edit* I zoomed in a bit and i assume it’s stopped down because I can see a spec of dust on the sensor.

It was stopped down to around f/5.6. Not sure by the way that the speck in the lower right isn’t a distant bird. I haven’t used the 75 Summilux much at infinity, least of all wide open. I’ve done impressionistic ‘testing’ outdoors at f/2 and f/2.8 at 30 to 150 feet, where it does fine. In fact the resolution in that range is really good. I use this lens mostly for portraits indoors, wide open or stopped down as far as f/4, and there again it seems to focus accurately on my M10-D. I find the lens too heavy and clunky for a pleasant day hike. According to Leica lore or myth, the 75mm Summilux was designed by Dr Mandler with NATO requirements in mind, and except at f/1.4, I think it’s meant to be a high-resolving lens, albeit a less contrasty one than current APOs. To achieve that ca. 1980 required a lot of hand workmanship in the grinding and assembly, and perhaps a measure of individualized mechanical improvisation that would be prohibitive today. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
