Pete, I really like this photo - most beautiful rendering of the Sonnar as well!

 

 

Rod, I cannot thank you enough for selling this lens to me (you know, I have been looking for one of these for a long time). It is indeed not an easy lens to master - it makes me feel very, very small, every time I shoot with it - needs a long time, to learn.

Recent use on a photo shoot made me cry, as I didn't perform to the lens' level and mis-focussed a lot (wasn't my day for such critical lenses).

 

 

 

Thanks Philip - the 85/1.5 is about the same size and weight of a 75 Summilux - it is nominally a faster lens though + has the most beautiful Sonnar rendering, I have ever seen.

I can't compare it to the 80/2, as the last time I handled one, I can't remember about it's size. I only remember, that it was very hefty - probably not much lighter, than the 85/1.5, which is fine for me (I am used to shooting the 50/1)

 

 

Beautiful! I am a big fan of the Elmar - a beautiful and very under appreciated lens - one of the greatest vintage lenses around!

 

Here is a coated Elmar 5cm on my M8.2, used by JC and photographed with Noctilux ƒ1 on M9:

The last day out with my pair of M9-P bodies last April when I discovered both were afflicted with sensor corrosion. This with the Canon 50/1.5 LTM @ 1/4000 @ ISO 160, aperture not recorded. SOOC JPEG rendered in camera as Vintage B&W.
