Not all posts from the Summilux 80 R are that convincing like this one! (I often am happy I sticked to my 75lux, but here the 80 really comes aside)

There is very little difference optically between the Summilux 75 M and the Summilux 80 R.

We all know that Jaap, on paper. But as I said I don't always see it. But my brain is just my brain. If they hang me upside down I'll see the environment normal again within 48 hours

the 28 v.3 - the quintessential lower-contrast Mandler lens c. 1980.

Yeah, what's up with this lens?  I've a copy that Leica rebuilt a few year back due to element separation on the edges.  In spite of the large size and relatively slow speed, I can't get it off my  camera.  It's too good.  Nails focus every time - wide and slow enough that slop is taken care of.  Resolution in the areas that count (centre) is as much or more than any lens I have -- at f4 the resolution is what I'd call seamless.  Colours smooth.  Just enough out of focus areas to let you know it's there with quality.  Etc...

So, here I am stuck with this ugly duckling as my go-to lens (usually combined with a 50) because it's just too good.

This for instance is not such a very convincing capture withe the 80lux. Don’t know if this is movement blur, lack of contrast or both, but I do not see a nicely defined selective focus

There was an intermittent slight breeze and I may have tried stopping down the lens just a bit. I cannot recall more specifically. 

 

I appreciate your critique.
