Which Summaron: 35 f/2.8, 35 f/3.5, or 28 f/5.6?

Pete, hi

 

1968 Summaron 35 f2.8. The detail with this lens is quite amazing. if you check out the MTF's it was and still is remarkably good. If it didnt fall away at the edges it would give the later ASPH a run for their money, add to that classic double gaussian rendering, tiny size, low second hand values it's a reall winner :D

I can fully subscribe that. Just did a comparison of my Summaron 2.8 1962 ungoggled with the new Summarit 2.5 and I could hardly see any differences except for flare.

Yes it is okay as a one off comparison but can we get back to pictures now please?:o

 

Pete.

 

Yes, one for the image and one to estimate the lens, cropped. So this is Summaron 2.8 ungoggled 1962, at F4.0, on M Monochrome:

Despite the evident pastoral beauty, the M25 incessantly growls and churns behind the far bank of trees.
