gyoung Posted March 28, 2014 Share #22 Posted March 28, 2014 I was using them on an MPP and a Sinar a bit more recent than that, about 40 yrs ago.. :-) Gerry Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin_d Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share #23 Posted March 29, 2014 Haha, I only feel 100 . I have a Voigtlander Dynar built in 1905 that is in such bad condition on the barrel I have to use a magnifier to read f stops and even then I can barely make them out and it has a hole cut out of the barrel for some unknown reason, definitely not for waterhouse stops. But the glass is clean and it gives pin sharp images. Leica lenses on the other hand project their own beauty, a quality not found in large format lenses, except a rare few such as the super expensive portrait lenses. I've learnt a lot about lens design and characteristics from large format, it is is much easier to dismantle those lenses and see how they are designed. But I love both Leica 35mm and large format, they both have their rightful place in my house. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
