Leitz Summarex 85 f1.5 pictures


Recommended Posts

Did your Summarex arrive yet? Somewhere I have a few scanned Kodachromes taken in the 1960s which I'll try to find. I'm more than a little envious of you !

 

 

Not yet ... I screwed up the wire transfer :/

 

We have a lengthy 500 digit IBAN number and I entered a wrong digit so the transfer didn't go though

 

Resent this morning, hoping it's in my hands early next week

 

I've been looking for a MINT copy with the hood and filter and caps for a very long time, finally found one a few days ago and I'm very excited!

 

Eagerly looking forward to see your images :D

While you wait... a pair of pictures taken with it... first one with M8, Summarex 85 at f 2,8, the second taken with M240, Summarex at f2 onto an OUBIO adapter acting as extension ring , of course using EVF .

(both previously posted in the LUF, indeed...)

Enjoy the Summarex ! Is a unique item, with a sort of "majestic appearance" that makes to forget its weight (and critical focusing... :o). With the Super Angulon 21 f4 and the first Summilux 35 chrome, it makes the trio of what I call the "jewelry-like" lenses... :cool:

Thank you for posting the images, Luigi

 

Beautiful images with lovely tones

 

I intend to use this lens mainly on my MM and M9

 

How is the color contrast out of camera and how is the flare behavior?

In my opinion, the Summarex has a rather "modern" contrast.... I find it similar, for instance, to my Summicron 90 of 1977... nothing to be compared to the old Hektor 7,3cm... of course, a really contemporary design (like my Summarit 75) is another matter.

The Summarex flares anytime the light conditions are less than ideal (they were ideal in my bw picture above... light exactly at my back, and a "light absorbing" background, the photo of the rose was in less good situation)

And what a beauty it is!

 

In almost perfect cosmetic, optical and mechanical condition!

 

There is some slight fogging in the inner elements which will be taken care by a quick trip to Wetzlar this week. Perfect focus movement and perfect aperture movement of the 15 blades. The front cap bears some scratches but no big deal.

AHA :cool:... Rex is always REX... :)... your PLEASURE to handle it emerges clearly from your pictures... :D; over 1.000.000 I see... so, I suppose it has its proper infrared marking engraved between the DOF reference lines... ;)

I envy your ORIGINAL lens'cap... I haven't it on mine, and share the one from Hektor 12,5... (which is almost perfect on Summarex too)

A few random shots from last night 

 

Just love the way this lens sketches 

 

All shot with the M9
