dickgillberg Posted August 27, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 27, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I like the hood on the new safari 28 summicron, but I have a black M10P. Is it insane to buy a safari lens without a safari body? How could it look? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to go all in on the Safari editions. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 28, 2020 Green lenses should be reserved for Safari Ms. Lions and rhinos could irritated by styleless mixtures😀. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradS Posted August 28, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 28, 2020 I don’t think it will have any noticeable effect on you photos. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit, it was pure conjecture on my part. How could it be otherwise since I do not have a green lens! (And I’m a diehard film user). but surely, this green cast can be corrected in post.

sml_photo Posted August 28, 2020 Share #9 Posted August 28, 2020 Go for it! Can't hurt...and you may end up liking it. There are no rules for mixing colors...just personal opinion. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your B&W photos will have a green colorcast. 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Blanko Posted August 29, 2020 Share #12 Posted August 29, 2020 I would go for the safari lens. When taking pictures you will only see the back of your camera anyway. 😏 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodParticle/Hari Posted August 29, 2020 Share #13 Posted August 29, 2020 Look at the silver chrom 28 summilux / summicron / elmarit also. Silver Chrom lenses on safari bodies look amazing too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mute-on Posted August 30, 2020 Share #14 Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Just get the Safari Summicron if you like it (I do ). You will very likely keep it longer than the camera, anyway. Once the lens is nla, you will regret it if you miss out ... Edited August 30, 2020 by Mute-on 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.liam Posted August 31, 2020 Share #15 Posted August 31, 2020 ....and probably sell it for more than you bought it for. But it is a very specialized aesthetic that will look "off" on anything but a Safari body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark T Posted August 31, 2020 Share #16 Posted August 31, 2020 I say do it. If you like it, who cares? I've not seen the combination before, but I can imagine it would look alright. Afterall, people mix black and silver without thinking. Or Safari cameras with black or silver lenses, so why not? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The matte finishes match well together. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
