Jaybob Posted October 12, 2012 Share #25 Â Posted October 12, 2012 If these pictures are taken from an old camera then I would say it is really superb. Old cameras have certain good features unlike modern cameras have. Â YEAH! wait, what? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonki-M Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share #26 Â Posted October 16, 2012 as an update, i had in my mind to get the v1 5cm summicron coll, when my local dealer called that he had the summitar 5cm f2 in excellent condition. long story short, i now own the summitar and so far, am loving it. it gives the feel of the old leica lens that i wanted.

Tonki-M Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share #28 Â Posted October 16, 2012 that is one hell of a bokeh! lovely pics, will share some photos when i have the chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted October 16, 2012 Share #29 Â Posted October 16, 2012 Yes agree, very nice shoots with the Summarit, which is a lens I have considered. Â The Summitar - I own a 1950 coated ten bladed copy - is a great lens which I use with my TTL. Some say its colour rendition is a bit unusual but I have not found that. It is a sharp lens in my experience and the fact that it collapses adds a lot to the portability of the camera. Â Edit: Here's an older shot wide open.

colonel Posted October 19, 2012 Share #34  Posted October 19, 2012 I strongly recommend you buy and read the Leica pocket book edition 8 It has the MTF curves for most lenses so you can see easily the better ones  Draw and colour are something else, but you can't go wrong starting from here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
