costa43 Posted March 4, 2024 Share #2109 Posted March 4, 2024 Stopped down. Boring shot but shows the diversity of this lens. It can do everything from vintage to modern. So much more interesting than a perfect lens from f1.4 to f11 Welcome, dear visitor!

blackdot Posted March 5, 2024 Share #2111 Posted March 5, 2024 (edited) This is the only lens I've sold and re-bought multiple times. Just got my third copy now - a 1986 Canadian. I had read that they moved to Wetzlar that year, so it must be one of the last of the Midland copies. Nice optical condition, and some quick tests on my Sony "film scanner" camera look good. Now for some film... Any real difference between the 80s and 70s lenses? My previous copies were all early to mid 70s. This new one has the redesigned front lettering.

I’ve found it to glow and flare like a champion wide open but I’ve not used an older version to compare. I have seen some images that have significantly more glow in this thread though so I think there is just a lot of sample variation with these lenses.

My last copy was a mid 70s that was quite well-behaved. I wouldn’t mind a little more dramatic flair/flare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild at f1.4, vintage at f2 and close too and more conventional from f2.8 without it being too modern at any aperture. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
costa43 Posted March 7, 2024 Share #2115 Posted March 7, 2024 I thought I’d try the pre asph with my M8u so I took it out all happy. Turned it on and the battery was on its last ounce of breath. Took two mundane shots before it copped it but they look really organic imo. This camera never fails to impress me. Welcome, dear visitor!

blackdot Posted March 8, 2024 Share #2120 Posted March 8, 2024 I picked up a Chinese 12504 copy, and unlike the last one I had, this one requires that if a 49mm filter is used, it has to go in backwards. I've read that that is how the original works, but the last Chinese copy I had was far more forgiving and let me put in a 49mm B+W forwards without hard vignetting. This one vignettes with the filter installed backwards. I found a used Leica Series 7 filter, so hopefully that solves it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
