But mine has turned out to be a bit like the Noctilux — felt compelled to buy and try, but turned out to be a once or twice per year lens. YMMV. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the SEM21 photos I see. I think I will like the elmarit 28 coming my way. But I do have a sweet spot for more vintage images, so ill definitely look into the super angulon. Insnt that the one that can't fit on the M10 though ? IIRC the Super-Angulon’s rearmost element didn’t play well with the M5 due to M5’s swing up light meter. Old Timers will doubtless confirm or refute. Shouldn’t be a problem with digital Ms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Timers will doubtless confirm or refute. Shouldn’t be a problem with digital Ms. I could be wrong but IIRC there was change in design of the SA around that time to accommodate the M5 issue (see edit below)*. In any case internal light meters shouldn’t be relied upon with the SA, or at least a correction should be made after the reading. * Edit: from the wiki...

Except JimmyCheng’s version looks more like perfectly shaped cuts around each knee and pocket, and still bright blue. Not old looking…just bad looking.

Flu Posted July 5, 2021 Share #116 Posted July 5, 2021 Took a pic of my copy with zero wear. Perfect condition atm. Photo consists of 1 M camera, 1 homemade stencil, 1 bronze dress from da wife, and a 50mm APO Black Paint edition. Welcome, dear visitor!

Flu Posted July 5, 2021 Share #120 Posted July 5, 2021 Naturally aging and brassing would probably be the best and I’d agree to that. But the issue I have is that I rotate the use of my cameras. Currently, I have over 15 bodies with the majority of them being limited edition Ms - many even more special than this BP M. Meaning, I’d chose to use those instead of the new camera. Even if I add this into the rotation and use it equally among the other Ms, I’d at most get to use it once or maybe twice a month. At this rate, I think the paint will outlast even my lifespan lol.
