freitz Posted March 6, 2016 Share #141 Posted March 6, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can you please expand on this Dee? I would think this is because the 50 apo esp. on the MM would out resolve the 75lux on the 262 or the 240. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted March 6, 2016 Share #142 Posted March 6, 2016 Having both of these cameras and lenses I agree with you, but I wanted to see exactly what she was thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IkarusJohn Posted March 10, 2016 Share #144 Posted March 10, 2016 Can you please expand on this Dee? It would depend on the aperture as well. Wide, the 75 is very soft. Stopped down on the MM, the 75 is tack sharp in my experience. I don't have the 50 APO, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted March 11, 2016 Share #146 Posted March 11, 2016 [...] Wide, the 75 is very soft [...]. Do you mean the 75/2 apo? I have both lenses and would not swear that the 50/2 apo is significantly sharper at f/2, in the centre of the frame i mean. Borders and corners are another story. I have not used those lenses on larger than 24MP sensors though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kilmister Posted March 11, 2016 Share #147 Posted March 11, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've taken care to think about this and used some experience in forming my view. The 35 Cron takes some beating, however my decision is that, if I could only take one lens, then it would be the 50 APO Cron. An amazing lens and no purple fringing on mine. Now please play the 'Desert Island Discs' music and ask me which 8 records I'd take. (Pink Floyd for sure. Dire Straits, as well as Dusty Springfield, and Elgar.) (If you don't know about Desert Island Discs then poor you ... you have missed a lifetime of wonderful BBC radio broadcasts. All available on BBC iplayer.)

Mashimaro Posted March 14, 2016 Share #148 Posted March 14, 2016 For me, the 35 1.4 FLE is glued to my M240 90% of the time. The other 10% is my 50 Lux asph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle123 Posted March 14, 2016 Share #149 Posted March 14, 2016 Now that I am down to one M, the Monochrome 246, my lens preferences have changed quite a bit since switching from a 240. If had just one lens to keep, would be the older 50 Summicron. I think mine is V4. It is classic. My second choice is similar vintage 35 Summicron. I own newer Aspherical lenses. But, when I put the older lenses on the 246, it just sings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey James Posted March 14, 2016 Share #150 Posted March 14, 2016 I basically only use a lens of one focal length -- the 28, even this is what I do in life. My favourite on the M9 is the V4Elmarit, and on the Monochrom, I occasionally use a 28 Summicron, even though I have a back up Elmarit, and on the Q, I am happy with that 1.7 Summicron. For subtle colour rendition, I would take the Elmarit over everything else. . Welcome, dear visitor!
