My story is different. Before I pulled the trigger for my first copy, I came across this link and was obsessed with its rendition at F1.4. I even had a big folder in my computer dedicated to images produced by this lens fully-opened I could find on the Internet. However, after I started using it, I've found that it has another forte--the tone. Unlike many ASPH era lenses, this lens produces images with a lot of tonal details (and without excessive magenta cast.) Thus I like to use it at most apertures. I can say that 35mm Summilux pre-ASPH was responsible for my interest in Mandler's lenses. Edited February 2, 2021 by me111 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcusick Posted February 2, 2021 Share #229 Posted February 2, 2021 The main difference for me between the Cron v4 and the Lux is the coatings. The v4 is double coated. Also - to my eyes - the Lux is a bit sharper... On a side note - I did fine that my early lux was way more muted in its color rendition. Coatings may have changed over time or maybe its just age. My later lux produces much more saturated colors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted February 2, 2021 Share #230 Posted February 2, 2021 It is quite possible to mimic more modern rendering with the 35/1.4 v2 but it requires some effort in PP (here on R-D1). Il won't work like a modern lens though in that it has less acutance, less contrast and more flare than both 35/2 asph and 35/1.4 FLE. Let alone the 35/1.4 v1 wich is even less contrasty with more flare if i remember well but memory may serve me badly. I have no experience with pre-FLE asph lenses but they they must be fantastic if they have a steel front rim (do they?) . Just kidding. Welcome, dear visitor!

mmradman Posted February 2, 2021 Share #231 Posted February 2, 2021 The steel rim, being mentioned a lot lately, must be magic optical ingredient contributing to lens performance. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit fuzzy in the corners, but that doesn't matter in a portrait. @evikne how would you compare this 35 Summilux pre-asph at f/2.0 to the 35 Summicron v4 at f/2.0?

I think I have developed a liking for this ‘look’ too, but for reasons you may also understand, I like it on film and esp. b&w but on digital and esp. colour, it seems a bit out of place.

And then there is the behavior, particularly popular on the Internet, of considering everything to be permitted, which could not be fined or only ineffective deleted after publication. My personal conclusion: Whose behavior appears to me legally or morally questionable or even just unfriendly will no longer be able to get any comments by me due to my limited free time.
