meatboy Posted April 23, 2007 Share #221 Posted April 23, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) James:The VC 35 COLOR-SCOPAR is no dog and some day when I get a round tuit:D I'll post some pics to make my point. Please do the same. I like it better than the pancake version even though the pancake is an M mount. I have both but only use the pancake when I want to carry the camera in my pocket Robert, is the 35 Color-Scopar the same lens formulation as the Pancake II? Are they essentially the same lens in a different mount? Thanks Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted April 23, 2007 Share #222 Posted April 23, 2007 Robert, yes please post some photos. Tim, Sean Reid says that all 2.5 35's are the same optical design, it's the design/size of the lens casing that differs - they have different handling charateristics therefore.

abrewer Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share #223 Posted April 23, 2007 She's mine, all mine I tell you!!!.... (grins with maniacal laughter) Ron, you're new here...at least to me! Welcome! Nice looking kit. Very sensible choice with that Elmar...extremely compact and imminently travelable camera/lens combo. Like Bill P says, "The best camera is the one you have with you when you want to take a picture"; and this fills the bill. What strap is that, BTW? Looks v. nice on the MP. Thanks.

visiondr Posted April 23, 2007 Share #224 Posted April 23, 2007 Alan, Thanks for your kind words. I tend to carry the MP with 50 Elmar with me nearly everywhere. I can't tell you how many shots I've been able to get simply because I was carrying this small photographic package. The strap is a Luigi, 15mm wide aged brown strap. I love it.

R.Morrison Posted April 24, 2007 Share #225 Posted April 24, 2007 Tim: I think James has answered your question quite well. Yes, handling characteristics are the main difference with the larger of the two being easier to focus etc. I guess there is a penalty to be paid for the PANCAKE lens's compactness. I regard it as a special circumstance rather than a regular use lens which is why I own both types. Yours, Robert Morrison, M4-P, etc. (you know, the other MP).

frc Posted May 16, 2007 Share #234 Posted May 16, 2007 Welcome to the forum Simon. Is it an old lux or the retro style asph on your cam? The rough surface of the MP\s covering makes it look almost vintage. But, what is the cylinder on the right side, an antenna for a built in cell phone? regards, Francis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rough surface of the MP\s covering makes it look almost vintage. But, what is the cylinder on the right side, an antenna for a built in cell phone? regards, Francis Thanks Francis actually i've been here a while just couldn't log in on my other name it wouldn't accept my password but now i'm in again.... "Cylinder" is a part of a modified rewind crank from the Leica version. I tend to switch between this and the Photo Equip version. The lens is the LHSA edition of the 50/1.4 ASPH in black paint i did until recently use the earlier E43 lux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

21mig Posted May 18, 2007 Share #238 Posted May 18, 2007 thank you Francis and Simon!
