stephengv Posted September 13, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm looking for a small lens for my Leica M240 (preferably a 35mm lens). I came across the Leitz Elmar 3.5cm, anyone use the Leitz Elmar 3.5cm on a digital M body? how does it render? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Hi stephengv, Take a look here Leitz Elmar 3.5cm on a digital M body?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
romanus53 Posted September 13, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 13, 2018 It's a fine, compact pancake-like lens but has it's limitations due to it's age. Have a look at this https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/285120-günstigste-und-einfachste-art-schraubobjektive-zu-testen/page-3#entry3535109 Bottomline: Center is good, edges not, look at the glass (haze etc.), (mine is coated and not for sale , like it a lot) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted September 13, 2018 Share #3 Posted September 13, 2018 If you are not much concerned about sharpness and use it under contrasty light it may give acceptable results. https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/268173-the-view-through-older-glass/page-88?do=findComment&comment=2462365 The two versions of the 35mm Summaron which succeeded the Elmar were certainly "better" and not much bigger.- 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
