lambroving Posted January 23, 2007 Share #88 Posted January 23, 2007 OMG, aspherical! Very observant. If you want to see what it can do, scroll to the last shot in this thread. My fave. http://www.leica-camera-user.com/sports-leisure-time/9504-steamtown.html?highlight=steamtown Allan, That's an LHSA MP3. Dan doesn't think he needs a 75/2.

ron110n Posted January 23, 2007 Share #89 Posted January 23, 2007 Dan's camera is a 1956 - 1957 original, all mechanical, batteryless and meterless MP. That's how it look like or is it? Good restoration then. -Ron Uh oh... I see the battery cover... not the 30 grand MP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share #90 Posted January 23, 2007 Allan, That's an LHSA MP3. Dan doesn't think he needs a 75/2. D'ohh! Now I see it on the hotshoe... William, I think you must get a cut everytime an expensive Leica lens gets sold! You're sending all your friends to the poorhouse!!! Thanks.

ddp Posted January 23, 2007 Share #91 Posted January 23, 2007 Allan....the 75/2 isn't even on my radar screen, lol. I would lean towards the faster big brother....the 'Lux. Finding one of those used is another story altogether. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmires Posted January 23, 2007 Share #92 Posted January 23, 2007 ....the 'Lux. Finding one of those used is another story altogether.Dan, I got mine used a couple of months ago. Mint, with box and case for $1800. They're out there... William doesn't like the 75 'lux because it's bigger than the camera. LOL. I just love the way it renders the OOF areas.

Finding one of those used is another story altogether. That's only because you haven't tried a 75/2. A monster Lux is hard to focus at f1.4 unless your subject is at 25 meters! At f 2.8 the DOF is still very shallow with a 75 and the 75/2 will blow the 25-year-old monster out of the weeds...(contrast, OOF, color correection, short, smooth focus throw, etc., etc.), all in a compact package which doesn't block the viewfinder frame. Reality check time! Real world use. How does the damn picture look? Ask Ron. He likes his 75/2 more than a 50/1.4 ASPH.., which might be taking it a bit far..., but you get the idea.

abrewer Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share #94 Posted January 24, 2007 That's true. Ron did tell me he sold his 50ASPH and kept the 75/2. Said it better suited his style of shooting or something like that. Get out your wallet Dan! Thanks. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddp Posted January 24, 2007 Share #95 Posted January 24, 2007 The inmates are running the asylum! I am perusing a set of images shot with a 50 1.4 pre-asph right now. How close does the 75/2 focus? Keep in mind I already have the 90 APO Asph - and it's very hard for me to justify a 75 of any variety. Something would have to go.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted January 24, 2007 Share #96 Posted January 24, 2007 The inmates are running the asylum! You only just now noticed?!

Keep in mind I already have the 90 APO Asph - and it's very hard for me to justify a 75 of any variety. Something would have to go.... Your choice of cameras has ruled out a 75. I DID warn you... A 75/2 focuses to 0.7 m., BTW. Leica Camera AG - Photography - LEICA APO-SUMMICRON-M 75 mm f/2 ASPH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted January 24, 2007 Share #97 Posted January 24, 2007 Allan, Ron did some great shots with Robert Hill's 50 ASPH, (you remember them?), but could not buy both it AND a 75/2, so he opted for the 75/2 AA. You are probably right that it suits his style better while I'm still trying to figure out WHEN to use mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
