jaapv Posted February 9, 2015 Share #41 Posted February 9, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) True, but again according to Puts the Summaron is an excellent performer and "better than the Summicron at 2.8" The thing is, Puts is contradicting himself in his comments regarding the Summaron vs Summicron all the time, at least that is my impression. But see for yourself: Puts on 2.8 Summaron (in Dennis Laney, Camera and Lens Pocket Book. 7th Edition. West Sussex 2002, p. 109) Puts on 8 element Summicron (Leica Lens compendium, as retrieved from here) Not that contradictory. Lens performance is a sum of parameters, of which centre sharpness is but one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_hoffman Posted February 9, 2015 Share #42 Posted February 9, 2015 Bottom line, for 800 bucks US in minty condition it is an absolute STEAL of a Leica lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Lord Posted February 10, 2015 Share #43 Posted February 10, 2015 Mine lives permanently clamped to my MM. A bargain, light, small, very effective. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2904/14338105292_04d1ab7bab_b.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted February 11, 2015 Share #44 Posted February 11, 2015 Mine lives permanently clamped to my MM. A bargain, light, small, very effective. Indeed. My 1967 example is rarely separated from my MP ALC (0.58) as they form an ideal partnership. Compact, lightweight, excellent ergonomics and a lens full of character. Welcome, dear visitor!

McGirton Posted February 11, 2015 Share #45 Posted February 11, 2015 Love this lens. I'm thinking about switching to this from a 50mm Summicron (Rigid). I like to shoot with fast shutter speeds though, so what's holding me back is the 1 stop that'll be missing. I'm trying to tell myself that it won't be missed some more..

Better not give it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
