JimmyCheng Posted September 8, 2021 Share #1  Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I think a lot of us chose Leica bodies or lenses not only because of their functionality or optical performance, but also the aesthetics. I believe deep down we are all gear heads 😛 and we all enjoy drooling over pictures of good-looking cameras and lenses? (at least I do) I wish more people can share photos of their beautiful gears (hence the rule here is that you have to have at least one photo).  Here are my favorite 50mm lenses (based on both the look of the lens itself as well as the rendering of the lens): 1. the original Summicron rigid v2 (which I usually pair with my m3) 2. the apo Summicron lhsa black paint edition (now paired with my black paint m10r) 3. the 50th jähre edition (paired with either my silver M-A or silver m10p) What about you?

shirubadanieru Posted September 9, 2021 Share #8  Posted September 9, 2021 Are all people here Rigid Summicron users? 🤣 I don’t have a picture of them since I don’t have them anymore but the Rigid Summicron and  Summilux Steel Rim are probably my favorite M lenses. These days I’ve been just shooting Barnack though, and Elmar 50mm f3.5 is such a great lens. Unless you shoot at night or indoors most of the time, f3.5 is no problem at all, and it’s so sharp that I can’t believe it’s a 100 year old design.  Welcome, dear visitor!
