alberto.rosales Posted December 31, 2015 Share #1 Â Posted December 31, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anyone use this combo and have any experiences on how well it works or if another lens would be better aside from (35 lux FLE, 50mm APO, Noct) Â How well does the 50mm 2.5 summarit work on the type 246?

Â The Summarits are excellent lenses in every way except speed, no matter what camera you use them on, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 1, 2016 Share #3 Â Posted January 1, 2016 No experience with M246 but the 50/2.5 does very well on the M240. One caveat though: It can flare very badly in special circumstances (typically when the sun is at 10 o'clock outside the frame) without a good hood on it.

Will post a few sample pics (on the M240, including a few B+W conversions) later on, when i get a chance to fire the computer up   * compared to how it was before, still equal or better than my Canon L zooms Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 2, 2016 Share #5  Posted January 2, 2016 [...] I havent had any issues with the 50 Summarit flaring, but i have had a hood on it [...]  Wise precaution. Here at f/2.5 with and w/o hood. Sun at 10 o'clock outside the top left corner of the frame.  Welcome, dear visitor!

Echo63 Posted January 2, 2016 Share #6  Posted January 2, 2016 I actually have had it flare like that once, before i had the hood, i used live view and moved around till i got some flare - only time it has ever happened.  The hood is only there to protect the front element from fingers and stuff.   heres some example images (processed in lightroom, with sharpening etc applied - not straight out of camera)  San Cisco at Fremantle Arts Centre. f2.5, 1600 iso, 1/250 Welcome, dear visitor!
