ramarren Posted October 30, 2015 Share #181 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I kept with just the 35mm Cron...beauty to use and lovely rendition...one lens and one MP 240 Safari. A serious internal debate raging though.... I want a 50mm for certain Street and Portrait....so Noctilux V Summilux.... I only want one 50mm, so decisions, decisions....weight/size v the "0.95" is the question in my mind...I know its a personal choice....at the moment the weigh/size issue is slightly ahead so the Lux....but that Nocti is still nagging me!. Help!.... Well, if it's any help, I've always wanted to shoot with a Noctilux but I've never wanted to carry one all day long. ;-) Hard decision, other than if you are just looking at the price tags. I haven't decided yet either, which is one of the reasons I've been using a Voigtländer Nokton 50/1.5 instead. Which is not to say that there's anything wrong with the Nokton, by the way. It's a rather nice lens in its own right. :-) Edited October 30, 2015 by ramarren 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henning Posted October 31, 2015 Share #182 Posted October 31, 2015 Things I use to cover the cavity in the front of my Leica M's: 12/5.6 CV 15/4.5 CV 15/8 Hologon 17/4 Super Takumar 16-21 WATE 21/2.8 ASPH 21/1.4 Summilux 25/4 Snapshot Skopar 28/2 Summicron 28-50 MATE 35/2 v4 35/2.5 Summarit 35/1.4 ASPH 35/1.2 CV 50/3.5 Nickel Elmar 50/2.8 Elmar-M 50/2 Summicron DR 50/1.4 ASPH 50/1 v2 75/2 AA 75/1.4 Summilux 90/4 Macro Elmar 90/2.8 thin T-E 90/2.8 Elmarit-M 90/2 Summicron last pre-ASPH 135/4 T-E 135/2.8 Elmarit On Visoflex or M-240: 65/3.5 Black 65/3.5 Chrome 400/6.8 560/6.8 On M-240 280/4 R Apo On Aristophot: 25/2.5 Photar 50/2.8 Photar 80/4.5 Photar 120/5.6 Photar 38/3.5 Olympus 60/4 S-Orthoplanar To keep this in perspective: I've been shooting Leicas since the early 60's. They've been the one constant in my photographic journey, and the only Leica lens I've bought new in a long while has been the 21 Summilux, which has been a wish of mine since I bought a Super Angulon in the 60's. Many lenses were bought during my professional photography career, which spanned from the 60's to the 00's. And now I've kept many due to some logistical issues and procrastination. Some of them I will never sell, mostly for sentimental reasons or the fact that the pictures I've taken with them have been among my favourites, in spite of technical flaws. Some have remarked (in jest) that I don't have some of the outstanding jewels of current lenses. That's true, but then I don't necessarily like pictures taken with the Apo-Asph 50/2 better than pictures taken with the dual range Summicron. So that lens is one I'll likely never get. On the other hand, the lenses I have for the Aristophot are all very useful on that contraption, and little use off it. So why sell them? The 400 and 560/6.8 lenses were bought for very, very little and are useful a couple of times a year, so again, why part with them. The 15 Hologon is a collectors lens usually, but mine has been used extensively and shows it since I bought it in 1974 (architectural models), and is thus not so interesting for collectors. It still works on the MM, so I'll keep it, even though the (much larger) 15 CV is more practical. Mostly this stuff has paid for itself many times over, so it owes me nothing. But still, it provides enjoyment. Except for those items that will be up on ebay shortly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
