Though not marked "Opton" it is Oberkochen for shure as it came with a late color-dial IIIa. One can add a little punch to the colors if preferred. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame the lens for the depth of field.😅 The colour balance was a little tricky thanks to the presence of daylight, tungsten, fluorescent (above the cool box), and fairy lights but it worked out okay in the end and showed me how well this lens handles spectral highlights and direct light. The build quality and handling are also superb. Pete. Edited November 26, 2018 by farnz Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinjun Posted November 26, 2018 Share #4273 Posted November 26, 2018 Yes, swirly indeed. The Summarit's bokeh is not to everyone's taste and most noticeable with small background elements such as gravel (as above) and leaves. But I find it can be very attractive e.g. in the dead ferns in the first picture, which are rendered quite differently from my other lenses. The lens is also sharper than I expected wide open in central region. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lens is also sharper than I expected wide open in central region. I agree, I have found it most pleasing with nature subjects surprisingly. My copy was quite hazy when I received it, but I had it cleaned and really enjoy shooting with it now. Surprisingly great images. I especially like it on my MM.

Ronazle Posted November 28, 2018 Share #4275 Posted November 28, 2018 In my youth when the 1.5 Summarit was in its heyday I think I wanted one more than any other camera accessory/lens; but could never meet the tariff. Part of the rationale for lusting after it was that 100 ASA Kodak Super XX was the fastest film available which really limited available light photography. Then, an additional F stop was a very, very, big deal. Now I own two decent "rits" and haven't really used them other than testing them. Yes, the central area is pretty sharp wide open and the lens is overall credible at some point btwn 2.0 and 2.8. Even now when I look at them they generate a sort of "ultimate lens" feeling of admiration from me. Its hard to completely divest oneself of the emotions of youth. The "rit" on an era film Leica was the ultimate miniature camera/lens combination. Regards, Ron 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
