Advertisement Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Hi Dao De Leitz, Take a look here Leica Summaron-28 -image thread. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
RexGig0 Posted November 10, 2019 Share #1342 Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Well, now that the discussion turned toward the sharpness, dreaminess, and vignetting characteristics of the various 28mm lenses, I will mention that I “settled for” a well-preserved Elmarit-M, though not just any Elmarit-M, but a Mandler-designed III, or 3rd version. This should have a visual signature noticeably different from an Elmarit-M ASPH, or the Summaron-M. If I want sharp edges and corners, of course, well, I have a Nikon D850, and a Nikkor 28/1.4E. 😉 Notably, I had recently been on-the-alert for Mandler lenses, and found this Elmarit-M locally, at Houston Camera Exchange, in Texas. I remain interested in acquiring a 28mm Summaron-M, for its tiny size, as well as what I believe to be its unique visual signature. There are times that I will use an M10, and a Monochrom 246, at the same time, so having two lenses of the same focal length is not such an extravagance, especially if one is compact. (I already have a compact Summaron-M 3.5cm f/3.5, and a larger Zeiss Distagon 1,4/35mm ZM.) Edited November 10, 2019 by RexGig0 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros Posted November 12, 2019 Share #1343 Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Heads up for anyone wanting Heliopan filters for their 28mm summaron-m: Maco Direct in Germany are about the cheapest supplier I could find. I've dealt with this company previously and have never had any problems with their service.

ianman Posted November 12, 2019 Share #1344 Posted November 12, 2019 Thanks! Last time I looked they had none. It was a while ago so I got them from https://lumiere-shop.de/. Buying from them was ok, but very slow and no communication. The site said they had stock when they actually had none so it delivery took a couple of weeks. I don't know if it's a big operation but sometimes they close down the whole site for weeks. I've also bought from Maco direct, film and other supplies, and agree they provide a good service. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dao De Leitz Posted November 17, 2019 Share #1346 Posted November 17, 2019 Am 9.11.2019 um 19:20 schrieb ianman: Thorsten, may I ask why you use the Summaron rather than a different 28mm? I don't understand why you would use this lens and remove one of its inherent features. I understand people don't like vignetting but then why buy the Summaron? I'm a sucker for natural vignetting, that is why I have the Summaron and not the Elmarit which was on my wish list before this one was released. Hello and nice evening ( / day) Ian, the Elmarit-M 28ASPH was my first purchase of a new lens at my beginning with M8 and has complemented my Summicron-C 2/40mm. The quality, brilliance is impressive and the compactness was for me important. The small flat design of the Summaron-M 28 caught my interest. Since * the Summaron-M 28 doesn't lack sharpness and contrast, I ordered it. (* After reading the reports here over the last few years. Thread 'search sharpness') In the beginning I used it in parallel with the Elmarit-M for comparison. So I was regularly on the road with the two lenses and took pictures at the same place, time and under similar lighting conditions. If you remove the vignetting, the Summaron-M 28 is not lagging (much) behind 'my reference' Elmarit-M 28mm ASPH lens. I can do without the speed during the day in landscape photography. I'm totally excited about the quality of the results. The old lens design in cooperation with the possibilities of current computer processing opens up the best of both worlds. I am learning more and more to enjoy the character of the lens. Also a way of coming together. … Welcome, dear visitor!

This is only a first feeble try with the Summaron on a scene I have done thousands of times with a number of different lenses and in different light. Must say the Summaron does have its very own 'signature' as advertised. Thanks! Can't wait to take it to the streets. Cheers. M10-P, Summaron-M 1:5.6/28 Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest Nowhereman Posted December 18, 2019 Share #1355 Posted December 18, 2019 The color version of the last image that I posted. Daido Moriyama says that one the things he likes about digital is that he can decide later whether to use the B&W or color version — or whether to use both.

jdlaing Posted December 18, 2019 Share #1356 Posted December 18, 2019 Definitely color on this one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted December 18, 2019 Share #1357 Posted December 18, 2019 Colour does give more contrast and seperation. But the reds are a bit OTT. Perhaps colour balance or it's the sensor but the reds do need desaturating. Hope this helps, cheers... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
