ianman Posted January 28, 2017 Share #501 Posted January 28, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Maybe they gave you mine. It's been waiting for me at RD for a month now but I haven't had time to fetch it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Hi ianman, Take a look here Leica Summaron-28 -image thread. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Popular Post wattsy Posted January 28, 2017 Popular Post Share #502 Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) You should pick it up. The lens has been a minor revelation to me after years of using modern ASPH lenses. I've only used it with film cameras but I haven't been getting any of the overt vignetting that the Leica publicity photos demonstrate – just a very sharp, sufficiently contrasty lens that I can shoot with confidence into the light.

wattsy Posted January 28, 2017 Share #504 Posted January 28, 2017 What film is that Ian? Love that second shot. Pete Second photo is Poundland film. First is Portra 400. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodies Posted January 28, 2017 Share #508 Posted January 28, 2017 It looks like a metallic hydrogen gel between the elements; not sure there's room for much soul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB23 Posted January 28, 2017 Share #509 Posted January 28, 2017 It looks like a metallic hydrogen gel between the elements; not sure there's room for much soul. I disagree. HCB's soul divided by all Leica lenses, past and future, makes for an extremely small quantity of soul per lens. Just enough for magic to operate. Or at least on a psychological level. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianman Posted January 29, 2017 Share #511 Posted January 29, 2017 You should pick it up. The lens has been a minor revelation to me after years of using modern ASPH lenses. I've only used it with film cameras but I haven't been getting any of the overt vignetting that the Leica publicity photos demonstrate – just a very sharp, sufficiently contrasty lens that I can shoot with confidence into the light. Hopefully in a couple of weeks when work quietens down for a bit. Great photographs BTW. The second in particular, I really the vignetting and colours there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen.w Posted January 31, 2017 Share #512 Posted January 31, 2017 Nice shots, Ian. I'm thinking about trading in my Elmarit asph (previous version) for the Summaron. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted January 31, 2017 Share #513 Posted January 31, 2017 I've been shooting with the new Summaron 28/5.6 for a month now and I must say I LOVE this little lens. To me it's worth any cent it costs. It's so small, so light and very sharp. Here you are some examples for those who want to have an idea. All the best, Enrico Welcome, dear visitor!

Leicaiste Posted February 1, 2017 Share #518 Posted February 1, 2017 What other lenses would be top choices for Leica to reproduce? From a purely aesthetically point of view, the Fat 90mm Tele-Elmarit. It was so beautiful on a M3/M2/M4. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedaes Posted February 1, 2017 Share #519 Posted February 1, 2017 I agree with epand56 about the sharpness. This was an unexpected bonus. Welcome, dear visitor!

4X5B&W Posted February 1, 2017 Share #520 Posted February 1, 2017 Can't wait until my Summaron is delivered, I see it as my go to everyday shooter for my MM1. A match made in heaven IMHO......YMMV Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
