How to upload images: Prepare the image as follows: 1.   The image should be sRGB and 8-bits 2.   Reduce the size to 2480 pixels on the longest side. (smaller sizes can be set, but are not recommended) 3.   Sharpen properly for screen. 4.   Save as JPG to your desktop, reducing JPG quality to produce 1000 kB (2000 kB for sponsoring members). 5.   In Lightroom these parameters should be set in the Export dialog. 6.   In the Forum posting or editing box, click “c

Thanks Klaus, I'm not one for keeping cameras and lenses I don't use enough to justify having them and I'm not sentimental about cameras or lenses, the image is all!.  I really like the 28mm summicron-m and 28mm or equivalent is my most used focal length with 3:2 (35mm and 6x9 formats).  I did have three 28mm lenses that I use with my MP; 28mm f3.5 color-skopar (my backpacking lens), 28mm summaron-m and 28mm summicron asph v1. 

Over the past 3-4 years, I've used the summaron-m far more that the color-skopar,  I sold the color-skopar earlier this year, despite the fact that I think it is a brilliant lens.  I tend to shoot the summaron-m mainly at f8  and with 100iso film in average light outdoors, I'm getting around 1/60th sec shutter speed which is not a problem for me..  if I need a wider aperture and/or a faster shutter speed I have the 28mm summicron asph in reserve.

For my preference for the 28mm focal length, I find the 28mm summicron and 28mm summron-m a versatile pair.    I'm not averse to using a tripod, but the (summaron-m) image I uploaded  is hand-held.

My personal opinion is that if you can afford to have the summaron-m as a second 28mm for it's individual character, then buy it!

Thank you Steve, these are quite useful informations. The interesting part is that you have a faster back-up lens if the need should arise which I didn't and so lost interest in the Summaron-M because it turned out to be a " bright daylight" only lens. 

One last question: Do you use a filter for the Su-M ? Say an orange 22 ? Puts your speed down  to 1/15 in your example...

Klaus, I use a yellow filter occasionally on the summaron-m if there is cloud or sea detail that I want to enhance slightly. It depends  also on which film I have in the camera.

I don't find that, possibly because I tend to use 400 film. I will sometimes use a yellow 8 filter. As it is my favourite focal length I have often thought that I "need" a faster 28mm but tbh the 5,6 has never been a limitation so far. I think I've posted these before, both shot on the MP with 28mm Summaron M, yellow filter and Ilford Pan400.

Very nice - which Summilux 50mm do you use ? 

Thank you. The Summilux is an ASPH version. Purchased used along with the M6 about a year ago so I don't know much more than that. This is my first rangefinder camera and still in learning mode when it comes to Leica's.
