rwchisholm Posted August 16, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ok. So owned and sold years ago. A little background: I shoot a rangefinder really good up to 50. On an SLR I can shoot an 85 all day. Harder on the Leica. That said, I love the focal length and the 75 Lux is just a unique crazy lens. I'm probably gonna have to get one. This lens haunts me much more than the 50 noctilux as there are so many great 50s. I would like to see some pics shot with the 75 Lux and M10. Portraits, if you have them. Any givers? Thanks. Rob.

01af Posted August 16, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2017 Here's a couple of pictures taken with the Summilux-M 75 mm on various cameras (scroll down). It's in the German-language part of the forum, so you may be unable to read the words but you can see the pictures regardless ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailwagger Posted August 16, 2017 Share #3 Posted August 16, 2017 I wound up buying a Distagon 35mm coincidentally at the same moment that an M10 unexpectedly fell into my hands. As a result it has wound up being somewhat cemented to the camera, despite the 'Lux being with me most of the time. So as yet, I dont have a much to show it off on the M10 per se... yet. Here's a couple... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overgaard Posted August 17, 2017 Share #11 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) It's a fun lens. I like it, but I always wonder why I have it. It's not the most practical lens, and I keep telling myself the Noctilux can do the same. But it has something special about it, and the reason to have one mught be to explore that. I should. Here's a single from the M10 (the photo of the TL2) and two from the M246. It has such a smokey tonality. Very detailed. Welcome, dear visitor!

mweiner Posted August 19, 2017 Share #12 Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) These are great images. Am I right to assume they are taken with a "75 lux" that is a newer version than the old Canadian/Mandler "Monster". I'm sure the newer version is more perfect. Does my old version have any redeeming features? (I have the 75 Summicron APO for when I need something lighter with more contrast -- if that helps.)

Not in my case at least. From Canada, produced in 1988. A couple more taken with the M240... 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted August 19, 2017 Share #14 Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) [...] Am I right to assume they are taken with a "75 lux" that is a newer version than the old Canadian/Mandler "Monster". No, you are not right to assume any such thing. The 75mm Summilux optics were not changed. Some mechanics such as the focus cam contact, lens shade and body materials were changed. Not the optics. Where did you get the impression of a 'Monster'? I'm sure the newer version is more perfect. Thanks for the laugh on so many levels, ya big silly.

Mine's a 1982 that looks and works as if it was made last week. Will never part with it. Never found the size and weight an issue. A very special lens.

sdw Posted August 21, 2017 Share #17 Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I've got a 'Canadian monster', which is significantly lighter and easier to use than a Noctilux and quite manageable by any standard. It's lovely: Your copy probably does indeed have no redeeming features. You should send it to me so I can dispose of it...

mweiner Posted August 22, 2017 Share #18 Posted August 22, 2017 Well, I stand corrected. I was under the false impression that Leica had released an updated version of the 75 summilux which people were commoting about. Apparently not; and the images here are from the old version which Leica no longer makes and about which people should commot. Those of us who have one are lucky.

adan Posted August 22, 2017 Share #19 Posted August 22, 2017 Well, I stand corrected. I was under the false impression that Leica had released an updated version of the 75 summilux which people were commoting about. Apparently not; and the images here are from the old version which Leica no longer makes and about which people should commot. Those of us who have one are lucky. When late production of the 75 Summilux f/1.4 moved to Solms/Germany (or perhaps "machining and assembly" is a better word - the glass was always Canadian), some metal barrel changes were made to reduce weight - the glass and imaging did not change. That would be sometime between 1985 and 1995. There has been some "commoting" about a possible future 75mm Noctilux-M f/1.25 ASPH, which is still totally rumor, and would be a completely new lens, given the aperture increase and expected ASPH design. Technically, there were three construction versions of the 75 Summilux-M f/1.4 (all with the same glass and "look" however) - v.1 Canadian, separate lens hood (first year or two of production), lighter weight, skinnier in the rear part of the barrel; v.2 Canadian, heavier, a bit fatter, with built-in sliding hood; v.3 Marked Germany, lighter again, but built-in hood and generally externally hard to distinguish from the v.2 Canadian (the weight was shaved off internally). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailwagger Posted August 22, 2017 Share #20 Posted August 22, 2017 Everything's relative. Certainly compared to the 35 and 50mm Summiluxes, its a large lens, but not compared to other FF lenses of its ilk in everyday use. I find the only slight ergonomic difficult is the long throw focus. Occasionally a bit of cranking is necessary, though it does make for more precision. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
