BjarniM Posted December 31, 2014 Share #21 Â Posted December 31, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sorry. I didn't get the lens description right. I meant Leica Summicron-M 35 mm f/2 ASPH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Hi BjarniM, Take a look here 35mm Lens for M9, which one to choose?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
skuromis Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share #22  Posted December 31, 2014 Sorry, will have to check, once I'm back home.  here is one example (showing also the scratches). the darker one coming out of the raw file (cooked by aperture) and the second one I have corrected by increasing the exposure with the warm/ cold view, just before the highlights start to blow.

microview Posted December 31, 2014 Share #23 Â Posted December 31, 2014 If I may say so, the top pic is dark in the comers. This is easily corrected. However, have you set the Zeiss 35/2.8 on your M9 as Zeiss recommends, i.e. as if a 28/2.8? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted December 31, 2014 Share #24 Â Posted December 31, 2014 The camera meter reads the actual light transmitted by the lens. There are no electronics or mechanical linkages to go out of wack. There is no way one lens can under expose and the others ok. EXCEPT if the actual light transmission is lower at the same stop as other lenses and you meter through a Leica and then change to Zeiss and not remeter. If you were to meter a leica and Zeiss on a grey board covering the whole metering area, the Zeiss may require 3.2 or 2.8 rather than 4. Leicas stops are very accurate. Do not use the widest ones for the experiment. Â There is also the possibility the aperture on the Zeiss is not properly calibrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaeaix Posted January 1, 2015 Share #25 Â Posted January 1, 2015 As you are talking about lens for M9, the Summilux 35 1.4 ASPH is the one too go. With M9's limitation on high ISO performance, that "only" one stop from f2 to f1.4 would greatly make it all around lens. I have a 35/1.4A and a cron v1, this is what I can tell from my own experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually made me think, whether the metering could be tricked by the strong vignetting? But then, this shot was taken with 5.6 or even more closed...(not sure anymore) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
