Advertisement Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Hi evikne, Take a look here The 50mm Summilux pre-ASPH image thread. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest Nowhereman Posted March 8, 2021 Share #22 Posted March 8, 2021 After I posted the images in post #16 above I had a look at all the photos I have in my Lightroom catalogue made with the Summilux 50 pre-ASPH and saw that I haven't used this lens since I got the M10. When I was shooting with film and, then, with the M9, I often wanted to shoot at f/1.4 because of the lowlight limitations of the cameras; but with the M10, whenever I wanted shoot with a 50mm lens, I always picked up the DR Summicron, since f/2 was adequate. But looking at the rendition of the Summilux 50 pre-ASPH, I think I'll be shooting more with this lens — once we're over all the wretched covid confinement...

And if you don't need f/1.4, you can always stop down a little. The rendering is beautiful anyway. Nice shot, even though I feel sorry for the birds! 😉 roland2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The images from the ASPH version are much more "tight", controlled, and with more acutance and resolution. But even though most things are "better", that's not always what's desired (at least not for all of us). For portraits, for example, I much prefer the gentler rendering of the pre-ASPH. I usually also find its unpredictable bokeh much more exciting than the polished one from the ASPH version. "The beauty in imperfection" is a term that certainly applies to many older lenses.

Ray Vonn Posted March 17, 2021 Share #36 Posted March 17, 2021 Thank you @evikne for starting this thread and thank you to everyone for contributing. I have my eye on this lens so this thread is of great help. I can't quite put my finger on what it is this lens has. I mean I'm a 'character' guy and use Leica RFs for their faults, not for corner to corner blah blah (otherwise may just as well get a Canikon or whatever). But yet, the E43's rendering is not like the Sonnar, obviously so, and suprisingly to me, it's not like the Summicron iv 35mm either. I'm sort of stuck between the E43 and the original Summarit 50mm in deciding which way to go. More thinking and deciding to do......
