Popular Post nodrog Posted February 23, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I don't see much discussion of any of the MS Optical lenses here, so I decided to start one 🙂 I was tempted by the Summaron 28, for its tiny body, but this diminutive MS Optics marvel puts it in the shade. The MS Optical Perar Super Triplet 28mm F4 is possibly the smallest and flattest pancake lens ever made for an M camera. Zone focusing works best, as it's a fiddly thing to focus successfully and the focusing lever seems to want to fall out all the time. It's had some mixed reviews, here by users on the Leica Forum and elsewhere. Nevertheless, the results can be superb. These are from the M240 and M10, in my neck of the woods, Tokyo.

Ecar Posted February 23, 2021 Share #3 Posted February 23, 2021 These were taken with the ISM 50/1.0 (despite my initial reservations due to heavy CA, I couldn't resist getting one when a perfectly calibrated BP copy became available). Both wide open on the M10. Welcome, dear visitor!

nodrog Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) I didn't doubt it would, but the Perar 28mm f4 works pretty well on the M10 Monochrom too. Welcome, dear visitor!

lct Posted August 9, 2021 Share #17 Posted August 9, 2021 Carl Zeiss Tessar 35/3.5 adapted by MS-Optical for M or LTM cameras, in black paint and silver versions. Famous triplet lens of Yashica T4 and T5 film bodies from the nineties. I use it on the digital CL essentially where it shines at all subject distances, including with the current Leica macro adapter. Matches perfectly another favorite triplet of mine, the Elmar-M 50/2.8. Seems to work fine on the M240 too (pic below at f/5.6). Welcome, dear visitor!

modenaboy Posted August 9, 2021 Share #19 Posted August 9, 2021 5 hours ago, FrozenInTime said: Really liking the ghost bike Thank you. The lens is really interesting in how it sees things. Although the bokeh is pretty wild at f/1.0, I like how it renders things like that. It almost looks like the bike is in motion on a long exposure shot, but the shutter was at 1/4000s and I don’t recall anyone being near the bike moving it. I’m glad you noticed it, that is one of my favorite elements, and the lens gets that sort of bokeh with other wide open photos on different subjects as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
