michaelwj Posted September 6, 2018 Share #25 Posted September 6, 2018 The only lens I miss, and likely the only lens I will buy a second time. Check out the massive thread on RFF (mostly on film though). The only downside is the minimum focus distance of 1m compared to 0.7m. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pico Posted September 14, 2018 Share #28 Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) [...] how did you find focusing at 1m with the lux? does that bother you at all? Funny, but I have no pictures at minimal focusing distance. It's not the way I shoot. Hot Summer night on the fire escape with no beer. http://www.digoliardi.net/summernight_leica_glow.jpg The lens is not that soft. I was shooting hand-held at about 1/4 second. That's typical of my perspective, focusing distance. Edited September 14, 2018 by pico 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamboat Posted September 21, 2018 Share #29 Posted September 21, 2018 I got a new one in early 1970's from my first wife. I complained and bitched about the 1-meter minimum focus for about 30 years until I *finally* got an "asph" version in about 2003. It's really a very nice, tiny lens except for the 1-meter minimum. I still have it. I haven't used it since getting the "asph" version. Good luck. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raid Amin Posted September 24, 2018 Share #31 Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Thank you for your feedback. I have the option to increase contrast in PP and then have a more stark looking image, or I take what I get from a B&W conversion with lower contrast. love these slightly lower contrast B&W shots with the lens Edited September 24, 2018 by Raid Amin Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent candid shots and wonderful colours! Yes, still waiting for the right price. The v3 cron serves me well for the time being. But the more photos posted on this thread the more I want to trade it in for the lux 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metin Colak Posted October 5, 2018 Share #40 Posted October 5, 2018 Dear all, is there any significant difference between the versions of 35Lux pre-asph in terms of so called 'Leica Glow', or image rendering. Some suggest German version is better, others say earlier versions produce better glow and distinctive rendering. I would like to hear the opinion of the people who own, or use(d) these versions. Which version do you recommend? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
