Low light yes it could be sharper though usually the corners rarely illuminated enough. It also render colors more towards modern smooth renderings. A great lens IMHO. Not sure if the new version render colors the same? The 28 Summicron is one of my all time favourite lenses. 28 mm very much suits how I see a lot ofthe works that I want to photograph. I tested three v2 samples until I found one that performed better in the corners than my original v1. As I do a lot of landscape the upgrade was worthwhile. This was the only reason (and a bit of OCD GAS 🙄) I upgraded and had more or less given up on the idea till I finally tested a third v2. If you’re not bothered by the corner performance then don’t upgrade. This was also the advice of two dealers. I don’t think there is otherwise ANY difference in how the two lenses image. I couldn’t otherwise perceive any when I was doing side by side comparisons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camaro5 Posted October 9, 2021 Share #263 Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) This is from Fall Exhibit at the Bellagio Hotel here in Las Vegas. M-P 240 & Elmarit-M 28/2.8 (V5). I have been giving some thought to upgrading to a Summicron 28/2 as I really like my Summicron 50/2. I do like this Elmarit 28 and I'm not sure if upgrading would be worth the extra expense. The faster speed of the Summicron would be nice, but stopped down to f/4 or 5.6 I'm not sure there would be a significant improvement in IQ. Welcome, dear visitor!

Only way to really know is to try it, using your own shooting/editing/viewing/handling style and preferences. Opinions here will run the gamut. Either demo from a dealer or rent. https://www.lensrentals.com/rent/leica-28mm-f2-asph-summicron-m-ii Jeff 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely going to buy another Summaron, I totally regret selling it. Is your pic the clapper bridge at Postbridge? Just up the road from Two Bridges/Wistman's Wood. I grew up in Plymouth and spent a lot of my youth on Dartmoor until I moved away in my early 20s. I always go back when I can and Wistman's Woods is always a favourite place to visit.
