A miller Posted June 20, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Following on the "I love my..." threads in the forums dedicated to M bodies, and after much observation of the numerous curiosities that people have regarding particular Leica lenses and how cumbersome it often is to pique these curiosities, I thought it might be useful to create a thread for specific Leica lenses, with the purpose of the thread to post images that have been taken by the particular lens. I think that a warehouse of examples of how a particular lens renders on a wide variety of M bodies will be very useful and efficient for those members who (i) are in the market for the particular lens, (ii) wish to compare and contrast the rendering of a lens with other lenses and/or (iii) wish to see what results others are getting from a particular lens. I have cleared the creation of this thread with Andreas (our forum administrator), who is in support of the endeavor and prepared to relocate these threads into a separate forum if they attain a critical mass (there are a ton of Leica lenses, after all). If people think this is a bad idea, feel free to chime in and voice your concern. To be clear - this thread is intended to included photos taken WITH the particular lens, not photos OF the lens Until I get the hook, I'll kick off with a couple of photos Jerusalem - M9 Welcome, dear visitor!

Stefan Herzberg Posted June 21, 2014 Share #4 Posted June 21, 2014 having the summilux for several months now I use it mainly wide open. A very rewarding experience. It actually takes me more and more away from the 35mm FLE. Two shots from Tokyo taken last weekend with the MM.

leica1215 Posted July 5, 2014 Share #11 Posted July 5, 2014 anyone one here find 50 summilux is less sharp than 35 FLE? I changed from 35 FLE to 50 summilux found that even I precisely focused when you crop on the screen seems 35 FLE is sharper than the 50 Summilux, I even doubt if my lens is a bit off focused..

I have both and found both sharp on my M9. Maybe sometimes we crop too much and forget the essentials. My two cent.

Keith (M) Posted July 9, 2014 Share #16 Posted July 9, 2014 Having bought a new Summilux 50mm ASPH earlier this year I am of course prejudiced in its favour! Has become something of a fixture on my M240. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

John Z. Goriup Posted July 11, 2014 Share #17 Posted July 11, 2014 referring to the title of this thread………..so do I. I love going to Concours d'Elegance, and nothing beats the FLE Summilux on a foggy, overcast morning with the dew still on the cars and the grass, before the sun comes out and spoils the photography with its harsh light and contrast. A couple from the recent Porsche Parade Concours in Monterey, both shot wide open. I know of no other Leica lens that 'draws' quite like the 50mm FLE Summilux. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!
