Advertisement Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Hi NB23, Take a look here Let's start venerating the 35Cron V2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Ecar Posted June 24, 2017 Share #2 Posted June 24, 2017 I'm sure it does, Ned. Can you post some pictures, so that everyone can appreciate sharpness, clarity and (more importantly) bokeh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodies Posted June 24, 2017 Share #3 Posted June 24, 2017 Perhaps you have some samples which demonstrate clearly the absence of the Leica look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 24, 2017 Share #4 Posted June 24, 2017 I have no experience with this lens. Is is true that it flares a lot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB23 Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted June 24, 2017 No idea. I just think it's the most Bad Ass lens with that aperture tab. Makes me feel like I'm Koudelka, in a Gypsy Favella. I use it here and there. Can't tell its character yet but when I see other people's images with t, it reminds me of a Chopin composition. Rich texture yet watercolor colors. Here's a print from mine, wide open. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

TomB_tx Posted June 24, 2017 Share #6 Posted June 24, 2017 I bought mine in 1969 and used it for 40 years (on film). I loved the small size, but with the hood in place the aperture tab isn't easy to handle. On film I used mainly 50 & 90, but with M9 the 35 became my main lens. I switched to a Zeiss f2 as it was better in low light, then to a Summarit 2.5 to go back to smaller size. But I still use the Summicron on film.

charby57 Posted June 27, 2017 Share #8 Posted June 27, 2017 I have one and I use it with great pleasure on my analog Leica and on the Monochrom. My sweet spots aperture are from f:2,8 to f:5,6. The prints with these combos are lovely indeed. There is an "organic. quality to them. Mind you, the results are not so great on digital color Leica M240. There is a cast on the edges that is unpleasant. I guess the reason being that the lens cannot be coded. Even manually, there is no possibility to set the camera for the lens. By my experience, the current Asph versions are better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen.w Posted June 27, 2017 Share #11 Posted June 27, 2017 I borrowed one for a few weeks, liked it for its size and relative speed, disliked it for its noticeably soft corners and weird "stick shift" aperture lever. Was still sorry to see it go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 27, 2017 Share #12 Posted June 27, 2017 How was flare with it? just curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregm61 Posted June 27, 2017 Share #13 Posted June 27, 2017 I have no experience with this lens. Is is true that it flares a lot? Boy, the ASPH version certainly does.... You just have to think "sun" and the thing flares. If I want or need to shoot into the sun, it's the 28mm f2.8 ASPH, the 24/3.8 Elmar or the 18/3.8 SE. Those three can do it with no problem.

stephen.w Posted June 27, 2017 Share #14 Posted June 27, 2017 I didn't see any flare, but I was using it with the vented metal hood. I should add that it focused perfectly on my M9, not something I can say for all of the modern M lenses I've used.

lct Posted June 27, 2017 Share #15 Posted June 27, 2017 Boy, the ASPH version certainly does.... You just have to think "sun" and the thing flares [...] Thank you so would you say that it flares a little like the 35/2 asph or a lot like the 35/1.4 pre-asph? Again just curious as i have no experience with this lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you say it compares with the Summilux 35 of the same era? http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=671753&postcount=1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecar Posted June 28, 2017 Share #20 Posted June 28, 2017 Roughly the same I'm confused now. Which one deserves more veneration? Which one is more legendary? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
