Popular Post exnihil0 Posted February 25 Popular Post Share #341 Posted February 25 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) A quick portrait of someone I just met at the mall. I briefly considered selling this lens for the 50mm f/0.95 Noct, but every time I see what the 75mm Summilux produces, I’m reminded why I could never part with it. Welcome, dear visitor!

Besides, not every copy of the 75/1.4 is perfect and this one is great! So if you do sell and regret it, you're not guaranteed at the same level if you buy one back.

LocalHero1953 Posted February 26 Share #344 Posted February 26 As I use such FLs almost entirely for portraits, a minimum focal distance of 1m or less is not something that excites me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a magnification ratio of 1:8, it is also ideal for close-ups of flowers, butterflies, mushrooms etc. Not quite a macro lens, but almost. I used my copy a lot for this. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seldom use my ‘lux 75 but every time I get it out, there is always the same woah effect. I had it coded and adapted to my M10M some years ago and it works perfectly. I will never sell it 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rick Posted February 27 Share #350 Posted February 27 (edited) Grossmünster, Zürich. M11M, Summilux-M 1.4/75 at 1.4. Created in 1980, my version 3 is of the first batch 1999. Although the lens was created for film instead of digital, this 45 yrs old optics delivers without any problem a sufficient resolution to the 60 megapixels sensor of the M11M. That's what I call sustainable. 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!

graphlex Posted February 27 Share #352 Posted February 27 Plus, with its Mandler-era color balance, it might offset the dreaded magenta tint of the current M! I don’t have that M, so I can’t confirm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rick Posted February 27 Share #353 Posted February 27 (edited) Summilux-M 1.4/75 at 1.4 on my SL2-S. That's my photo buddy William from Zürich. We both meet often by coincidence, so also a week ago at a Leica event in Zürich and were lucky to join a Peter Karbe lecture about Leica optics and its history. That was one of the most interesting lectures of my life and beliefe me, I visited a lot of lectures. Always when we meet, he's asking me for a portrait, so I made this one, window light only during the event (organised by GraphicArt: Leica Profi Day). Except for slight exposure mods to my taste and a 4x5 crop, this is almost straight out of camera. - Guys, I love that vintage lens. Welcome, dear visitor!

LocalHero1953 Posted February 27 Share #354 Posted February 27 I'm coming to the conclusion that the lens takes portraits best with natural light - some of those I like best are using just window light. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't try it yet otherwise. Have no longer a studio. Retired myself last year. Of course I am still available as 2nd shooter.

Flou Posted February 28 Share #357 Posted February 28 (edited) I had a V3 Summilux 75mm and sold it years ago to buy a Apo Summicron 75mm L-Mount which I really adore. But I missed the Summilux 75mm since then and ordered one today from a Leica authorized dealer in Germany. The lens was serviced at Leica only a few days ago…hope everything will be fine and focus is optimized for 1.4 at 2-4m distance. I will find out next week Edited February 28 by Flou Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets less use, but still love to take it out ! Yes I know…it was a big mistake The Lux was in mint condition, was the German Version and focus was spot on. The Lux I ordered now is a Canadian Version in good condition, but I don’t know if it needs to be calibrated. I don‘t have the salary to spend that much money without saving a few months. Now I know that I should have waited a few months instead of selling the Lux. That mistake will never happen again 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
