This is one of the earliest coated lenses, a 1938 5cm F1.5 Sonnar T, wide-open on the M9. It is made of the heavier allow used before the war, and is marked only to F11. Converted to Leica mount using a J-3 focus mount.

I also have one from 1936 that is fully coated, but not marked with a "T".

Would you very kindly name the camera too please, Lenshacker?:)

 

Pete.

 

Apologies! I was using my Leica M9. I used a 1.25x magnifier with it, makes focusing much easier. This is the first time using the M9 at "ISO5000 equivalent", "ISO2500 -1ev" setting. My opinion- Leica could have put an ISO5000 setting in firmware with this camera. I've used the M8 with Arvid's M8RAW2DNG at ISO160 -4ev for ISO2500 equivalent, was very usable. Figured I could squeeze an extra stop from the M9.

Minolta Chiyoko 5cm F2, wide-open on the Leica M8. ISO1250eqv using Arvid's M8RAW2DNG.

 

This early 1950s lens is based on the Summitar, but is rigid mount and hard-coated. Uses easy to find 43mm filters. Has the same "swirlies" as the Summitar.

 

At ISO160, wide-open.
