PDP Posted March 11, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 11, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi there, anyone with experience about CL plus the Summaron 28/5.6? I read many enthusiastic articles about this gem, but I am not sure if it can deliver the special look on the smaller sensor of the CL. I sold my M, no chance with my old eyes and their glasses. Alternative might be just an old, a real old lens, but they are often mit cloudiness (right word?). Thanks for any help! Best Philipp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted March 12, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 12, 2019 There are others with the Summaron 28 on the CL, but I have the Summaron 35/2.8, which is another compact option. It looks good on the CL body. Mine is a clean version, with no haze, but it takes 'soft' (low contrast) images wide open - which I find attractive for the right subjects. The colour output is noticeably poorer compared to the Summilux-M 35 FLE, which I also have, so I keep the Summaron mainly for B&W. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesL Posted March 12, 2019 Share #3 Posted March 12, 2019 Here's an example of an old Summaron 35/3.5 on a full-frame SL. You can crop to get an approximate idea of APS-C. Welcome, dear visitor!

For contrasty and saturated results, my Biogon 35/2.8 beats my Summaron 35/2.8 hands down below f/8. It is sharper at edges and corners, flares less and has less CA. My Summaron is a goggled one for M3 though do i don't use it much anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pono Posted March 18, 2019 Share #6 Posted March 18, 2019 I use the M version of the Summaron 28/5.6 on the CL and there are examples posted on the CL image section..It’s one of my favorite combos.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWPhoto Posted May 9, 2020 Share #8 Posted May 9, 2020 I like it thus far, but will shoot the Summaron on my M bodies for the "special" look. On the CL I get some gentle bokeh wide open. 43mm eqv. and a real compact kit with the CL. Welcome, dear visitor!

ramarren Posted May 12, 2020 Share #9 Posted May 12, 2020 I'd love to see how the Summaron 28/5.6 compares to the Voigtländer 28/3.5. I have the latter and it produces "special" quality photos on the CL, and I have it coded to work with the Summaron 28 lens profile. G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWPhoto Posted May 12, 2020 Share #10 Posted May 12, 2020 I have some CVs, my favorite the new 50/f1.2 asph. Their new line of f1.2 asph lens are terrific. I did pick up the Ultra Wide Heliar 12mm (latest version) which was discounted big time, and impressed with it on my M bodies and the CL. I got the Summaron on an open box demo discount so saved a few hundred. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWPhoto Posted May 12, 2020 Share #11 Posted May 12, 2020 it looks amazing on my M-P 240 Safari, but it makes for a compact street kit on the CL. Welcome, dear visitor!

ramarren Posted May 13, 2020 Share #12 Posted May 13, 2020 Nice! Here's the Color Skopar 28mm f/3.5 on the CL: Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! And here's a quick snap with it, wide open, ISO 3200 @ f/3.5 @ 1/15, at the near focus limit: There's a little pincushion distortion but not much, and easily corrected. Beyond that, it's pretty darn sharp corner to corner. G Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
