Minolta 45/2.8, Orange Filter, at F5.6.

 

This little lens is very nice- I've read that it is a 5-element Heliar formula. I need to compare it with my custom-adapted 5-element Karat-Xenar.

Mark- I've seen people use the M Monochrom with color filters to get a color image before...

 

Is the color shot from the M Monochrom?

No I'm not that clever . 

I accidentally attached a photo taken with my M240 instead of the one above I've replaced it with  .

I just picked up a 50mm Summilux II pre-asph for my MM1....took it out for a spin today. It is from 1970 and an incredible lens for being 45 years old...

another one from the MM1 / 50mm Summilux II pre-asph...I don't know how much sharper the asph version is but I'm perfectly happy with this. I also prefer that this version does not have the finger focusing tab....
The aperture ring is a little stiff on it between F1.4 and F4 so my seller (Adorama) agreed to reimburse me for a full CLA...great seller and service. I highly recommend them.
it's on it's way to Youxin Ye for a full CLA....can't wait to get it back.

Nice shot, Peter.

Seems like a good amount of DOF; stopped down, don't expect to see much difference between a lot of the 50s.

For ƒ/1.4 to 2, yes it is.

 

After that? Differences aren't that meaningful in everyday image making. Pixel peekers out there may differ...

Not exactly old, but TS-E 24mm on M246...
