Advertisement Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 Hi Ecar, Take a look here The view through older Glass. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Ecar Posted December 2, 2022 Share #9962 Posted December 2, 2022 A quick, through-the-window test shot from my best copy of the Summitar (10-blades, uncoated) that's recently returned from a CLA. Not bad for its age. M10M + 1939 Summitar 50/2, wide open @ ISO 8000 Welcome, dear visitor!

Ecar Posted December 2, 2022 Share #9964 Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) ... and another one from the same combo, again @ f/2 Very impressed by the centre sharpness (for a 1939 lens). The importance of a proper CLA for these old lenses can’t be overstated. Welcome, dear visitor!

sandro Posted December 2, 2022 Share #9965 Posted December 2, 2022 Interesting that the bokeh in your last photo is less distractive than in previous one, Ecar. Lex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecar Posted December 2, 2022 Share #9966 Posted December 2, 2022 38 minutes ago, sandro said: Interesting that the bokeh in your last photo is less distractive than in previous one, Ecar. Lex Yes. I think it has to do with lens resolution, distance and something called "spatial frequency" (I read it somewhere - not sure I understood all of it). To my layman's eyes, it's a matter of background distance and its structure, for a given aperture - and lens, of course. Fine details (such as foliage) at mid distance are always a good "stress test" for lenses, whether I'm looking at in-focus resolution or oof rendering. Now, since my knowledge of optics/physics is rudimentary at best, I'm afraid you'll have to turn to someone more qualified than me for a better explanation.😅 And here's yet another "distracting foliage bokeh" one with the 1939 Summitar on the M10M, wide open Welcome, dear visitor!

Ecar Posted December 4, 2022 Share #9979 Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) I hadn't used this lens for a while. Not the smallest vintage 35/2.8 out there, but quite good, relatively easy to find in decent condition and still affordable. M10P ASC + 196X Komura 35/2.8 LTM, wide open @ MFD Welcome, dear visitor!

Edit: I just checked and it's thinner and only marginally longer than the Summaron. Other 35/2.8's are smaller, though.
