Best Henry The 35mm Cron ASPH is definitely a nice lens. I feel like it's probably one of the most used lenses for people with an M mount Leica. It's sharp throughout it's aperture range, everything from wide open to f/16 is rendered nicely. There's so much detail to be had from this modern lens, even on film. It was probably designed with the digital Leicas in mind, but is still great on my M6. When I just got my Nikon scanner and I scanned this image of an ocean swell, I was immediately amazed at how much detail the lens & scanner combination produced. Welcome, dear visitor!

philipus Posted October 6, 2016 Share #22150 Posted October 6, 2016 This is a good shot Tony, very well balanced composition with strong lines. waltdisney.jpg Recently acquired a Nikon Coolscan 5000, been loving the scans I'm getting from it! Shot with M6 and Summicron 35mm ASPH This is my own view fwiw: I agree that 35mm is probably the most used lens, but feel that it is also very likely the mostly poorly used focal length. It requires filling the frame with larger elements, just like you've done in the first two pictures, for there to be interesting, compelling or even striking results. Most 35mm photos I see are 'meh'-like where the photographer appears just to have pointed the lens at a scene to capture many smaller elements. It results in awfully boring photographs. My speculation is that, with wider-than-35mm lenses, it is easier to achieve better results simply because going wider to really wide one is very aware of the need to fill the frame with features that stand out; otherwise everything just looks really small. But 35mm is so close to the 'normal' focal lengths that one is tempted to use it in the same as one would, for instance, a 50mm. Thus results boring photography. All this to say that I like these three photos. The second one is dominated by the striking ceiling signs and the action underneath and the third one, which had it been a street scene would have been meh, is cool because of the simple composition with 3-4 very different elements and an ominous mood. Looking forward to more. br Philip The 35mm Cron ASPH is definitely a nice lens. I feel like it's probably one of the most used lenses for people with an M mount Leica.

It was probably designed with the digital Leicas in mind, but is still great on my M6. Agree that it is a great lens – and for me the perfect mix of size and optical performance. Being designed in the mid 1990s, I'm not sure the lens designers were thinking much about digital Leicas. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus results boring photography. ... br Philip Philip, An interesting viewpoint. I am not sure I agree with the "larger elements" part of your argument, have to think about it. I really started using the M with 50 mm but recently have found myself being drawn much more towards 35mm and 28mm, and as a consequence I have been moving steadily closer to the skin of my subjects. I do like the adaptability of the 35 mm lens. You can make pictures with it that look as if they were taken with a 50mm. Alternatively you also can take pictures that look as if you used something much wider such as a 24mm lens. Rgds Christoph 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
