freitz Posted January 5, 2015 Share #61  Posted January 5, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) What can I say, it was one of those dark sunny days LOL *Removed Photos  BTW cost was 3050usd for this copy. Circa 1983 Canadian, built in hood, perfect except a few small brassing marks on focus ring. Calibration, to my great relief, is very good.  The Bokeh is nice, however it reminds me of the 35 FLE bokeh, different from that of the 50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uhoh7 Posted January 5, 2015 Share #62 Â Posted January 5, 2015 The Bokeh is nice, however it reminds me of the 35 FLE bokeh, different from that of the 50. Â what 50? Lux asph? of course it's totally different I don't know the FLE broken that well, but I seldom form opinions about a lens's bokeh until I see many many shots, since it is highly variable with backgrounds and distances.

Since I shoot a lot of landscapes, f/11 is often the most important aperture, and performance there is highly variable. It took quite a while to realize what a true phenom the 28 cron is, with unique WO performance and off the chart clarity at f/11, better than, for example, the great ZM 35/2, which is no slouch stopped down.  Here is the 75lux at f/16: L1026189 by unoh7, on Flickr a bit dark, sry, but nice dof I haven't peeped it yet, but it looks to be pretty crisp.

jip Posted January 7, 2015 Share #69 Â Posted January 7, 2015 I use the 80 Summilux-R which is almost the same lens. I love it for portrait but also landscape work stopped down to 5,6/8 Â Wrote about it: Â http://jipvankuijk.nl/summilux-r-80-leica-r8-m-typ-240/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uroman Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share #70 Â Posted January 8, 2015 I have a new version of 50 lux, but since i received the 75, i am wondering if i should even keep the 50. Anything the 50 does, the 75 does better. I have a 35 cron, so maybe the 50 is not necessary. I think the 75 lux is really amazing, glad i bought instead of noctilux Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third one looks like typical M9 tungsten low light shot, though.  Rick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winedemonium Posted January 23, 2015 Share #73 Â Posted January 23, 2015 I couldn't get along with the severe back focus of my copy of this lens, so I sold it. (I realise I could have had it adjusted, but I got in a humph about it ) Â Then this week I saw my local crack (Leica) dealer had a very fine copy in stock, and I bought it. Accurate focus, and I love the rendering. My other lenses are now all modern ASPH ones, so the difference in look, to my eyes, was quite striking. Nice to have another flavour to play with. Â Curiously the difference in serial number between my previous 1993 copy and this one is 32 copies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
