Capuccino-Muffin Posted April 12, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 12, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) On digital, I can’t say. But on film, this lens is so good, SO Good! Sharp. Very fine contrast. It breathes its own into any photograph. Beyond silly bokeh, there is character. This lens beats any other lens in the Character department. I Love it so much, I asked my wife to burry me with a Summaron-M in my pocket, when I die (along with a few Rolleiflexes). The Summaron-M 28 is the King of Mood. There is no other. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jslabovitz Posted April 12, 2021 Share #7 Posted April 12, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I basically use two lenses: the (new) Summaron 28/5.6 and the Zeiss Sonnar 50/1.5. They each have their own unique character/signature, and also work very well with my point of view. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you are aware there is a very lengthy thread dedicated to this lens? Currently on page 85 (!), example photos film & digital from page eight onwards. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking for a midlife crisis lens with character lol. What kind of mood? But seriously could you be kind enough show us examples? I wonder if the character can show in digital too.

Capuccino-Muffin Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share #16 Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Bokeh has quite frankly become an eyesore, especially in scenes where there is plenty of light. A crutch. This lens replaces bokeh by injecting character, giving much more mature images and preventing anyone’s photography to fall into the amateur trap of bokeh à tout prix.

You may want to add an m-mount camera 😅 I agree, the summaron-m 28 rocks on film! The rolleiflexes are also great 😋 Edited April 18, 2021 by Aryel Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted April 20, 2021 Share #18 Posted April 20, 2021 I agree on all the good words that can be said about this little wonderful lens. I love the Summaron-M 28/56. However, I have it in silver and would love the black instead... In the next life. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

t4r2017 Posted May 8, 2021 Share #20 Posted May 8, 2021 I would agree with OP. This lens is quite amazing. I can attest to it on digital m10m. Surprisingly sharp in the center at 5.6 and very moody with just the right amount of contrast. Welcome, dear visitor!
