asiafish Posted June 9, 2014 Share #61 Â Posted June 9, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Have you used the Summarit 75/90? You speak in generalities. Â I had the 75mm for about four years and it ended being the least used lens in my kit, plus it spent almost as much time being repaired as it did on my camera. Now I have the 75mm APO- Summicron and it's my most used lens, Â Guess you had a bad one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berth Posted June 9, 2014 Share #62 Â Posted June 9, 2014 Guess you had a bad one. Did you hear about the Noctilux that had its aperture ring installed upside down? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â My 75 APO took at least one trip to service for a loose aperture ring and focus adjustment. Â S**t happens, with various Leica lenses.

I have worse issues with my MATE, but I still have it.  I have had no problems with either my 90 or 75 APO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 9, 2014 Share #65 Â Posted June 9, 2014 Why using the Leica optional hood? Screw-in metal or rubber hoods are easy to find out for about 10$ or less everywhere. All of them will be more efficient that the built-in hood of the Summicron 75/2 anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rramesh Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share #68 Â Posted June 9, 2014 Modern f/2.5 lenses are called Summarit folks. This has nothing to do with price. See the superb Summarit-S 35/2.5, 75/2.5 & 120/2.5. Hardly budget lenses IMO. Â So, if the f/2.8 becomes a f/2.5 we change names? I don't get it. After all we have a Noctilux first at f/1.2, followed f/1 and f/0.95. Also a Super Elmar at f/3.8 for the 18, f/3.4 for the 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 9, 2014 Share #69 Â Posted June 9, 2014 Yes "Summarit" is for f/2.5 lenses. "Noctilux" is for f/1.2 and faster lenses. "Super" is for non-fisheye wides from 15mm to 21mm normally, with some exceptions though (eg Elmarit 21/2.8). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
