Ronazle Posted April 15, 2017 Share #601 Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) That's the main purpose of lens detection. Though - the vignetting of the 28mm Summaron is an important part of its character. And why would one use a "substandard" outfashioned lens-design - if not for its character? Answer, for convenience - as I mentioned elsewhere it fits nicely into a shirt pocket. While this may not justify the expense, I have had the lens since the 1970's. I bought it used from 42nd St. Camera on a rainy Saturday morning for $125. rlt Edited April 15, 2017 by Ronazle 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronazle Posted April 16, 2017 Share #602 Posted April 16, 2017 Answer, for convenience - as I mentioned elsewhere it fits nicely into a shirt pocket.

It was purchased, as described, at a Red Bank, NJ camera store. Later that week I walked in to 42nd St Camera with the lens on a M-3 and the store owner offered me more than I had paid for it. One of the few cases where I purchased a Leica lens at an extremely good price. Regards, Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2017 Share #603 Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) The new Summaron 28 just arrived today. Here's one of first pictures I shot with it — I processed it in B&W because I read somewhere that it was particularly good for B&W, although I don't recall whether that referred to film of digital. Ian Watt noted that he suspected the lens was particularly good for film, but said that he hadn't shot it with digital. I like the feeling of the picture below, but must note that I processed it with Silver Efex, and liked this version better than the B&W I made in Lightroom in terms of the contrast and the feeling of the light. So, not sure whether it's the lens of Silver Efex: I would say both.

LeicaPassion Posted April 20, 2017 Share #604 Posted April 20, 2017 Please post more photos. How long ago did you order it? My dealer said that it may take about one year for mine to arrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2017 Share #605 Posted April 21, 2017 I'll try to past more photos if I have time to photograph in the coming week. I bought the lens from a British dealer; they had it in stock. It came to the States in two days. _______________ Alone in Bangkok essay on BURN Magazine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeicaPassion Posted April 21, 2017 Share #607 Posted April 21, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you for the photos. Of the two, I prefer the bw one. Others may prefer the color image. You were smart to check around. I contacted several US dealers but none had it in stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
