Jean-Marc, the "wrong hood" on the 28mm is one of those lucky accidents that actually work ;-)

Indeed !

Amazing lens this 35 v1 ;-)

Thanks JM ;-) I am not sure about this lens yet but I can definitely see what all the cult is about this one.

I need to find out how it fits me (I believe I am too much in love with that old W-Nikkor design).

 

I very much like the .7m minimum focus distance and the nice rendering of light sources though.

 

Some on the Mono + 35/2 8 element:

Thanks Dirk,

your links are still working!

 

Yet I'd love to be able to re-edit my posts at a later stage than when posting initially and am asking for a poll on that subject here now ! Seems like this kind of voting method works on other forums...

Yes Jean-Marc, it would be great to be able to fix those broken flickr links - never figured out why they break - I'd rather host the photos on my own website as it is a lot more stable but this is regularly blacklisted on LUF and not qualified as a photo hosting site as per LUF :-(

 

Here is some old lens photos - first with 90 Elmarit-M latest version, others with 35 Summicron v1 8-elements:

Holy Moses - I am just floored by the images that these supposedly "older, out of date, cheap, inferior" lenses produce!! These images make me want to find some old time glass - the artistic fingerprint of some (hell, most) of these lenses is truly amazing.

 

When you can put a 50+ year old lens on an M240 and get these kind of results, it makes today an even greater time to be a Leica M photographer. :D

Absolutely Carlos

 

One of the amazing things about the M system is the backward compatibility

Another with the Nippon Kogaku Nikkor-s 8.5cm f/1.5 on an M(240). Local farmers' market.

Dirk: I took your suggestions and added almost no contrast or clarity in LR or CC.
