Who's tried the Leica Summilux 50 PRE-ASPH Version II on an M240 ? Would you kindly share your experience (and maybe even some images)? I would sure like to know how this lens does with the new Leica M.

 

I know Summilux 50 ASPH 1.4 is amazing - I've seen the pictures! And while I'm sure that the pre-asph ver 2 is not "as sharp" and perhaps doesn't have the contrast of the ASPH model ... there's just something about how the pre-asph lenses "draw" that is so compelling ... that and the painterly character of the bokeh they produce.

 

I imagine the pre-asph lenses at 1.4 are less sharp in the corners but wondering if that their reduced resolution might create an interesting transition effect moving from blur to sharpness? If you've been shooting with this lens on the m240, what are your thoughts?

 

Anyways, love to hear what you guys think who've tried this combo.

As, 01af mentioned, it works well on the M(240) as in earlier digital Ms.. The swirly out of focus rendering is still there.

 

Here are a few of my samples with 240

Joe,

 

Very nice! Thank you, that is helpful. With the M240's higher resolution sensor, I wasn't sure how this older lens would look. It's helpful to hear from someone who's tried it.

 

I really like the character of this lens... and the the way it draws. The bokeh looks so nice on the M9 and I was hoping it would still hold it's own on the M240.

Mark, I am enjoying shooting with some of these older lenses including Canon and Nikkor screw mount lenses on the M240, and they seem to work even better on the M240 over my older M9.
