The rigid Summicron is really an interesting lens but I couldn't find one in a good condition and the price is going up like crazy these day so it's not my option I mainly shoot portrait and some street photography Currently,I'm interested in 50 Summilux BC(I heard the rendering is sharper and more deep in red to the normal one) and new LLL Elcan Btw,sorry for my bad English We've been talking about the 50/3.5 Elmar (in both LTM and M-mount) so I thought you might like to see how the 50/3.5 Elmar 'red scale' LTM draws to help you decide which way to go. This picture was shot with a M3 and 50mm f/3.5 Elmar with Neopan Acros 100 ISO.

How about noct 1.2? TBH,noct 1.0,.95 are too large for me 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy Posted November 5, 2021 Share #48 Â Posted November 5, 2021 Elcan is probably the closest you can match to the elmar. Putts seems to match the character to the older elmars https://m.imgur.com/a/myoqTSh https://leicarumors.com/2021/10/04/coming-soon-light-lens-lab-elcan-50mm-f-2-replica-lens-for-m39-mount.aspx/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobbu2 Posted November 6, 2021 Share #49 Â Posted November 6, 2021 The 50/2.8 Elmar-M is the primary 50 for all of my Ms; if ever I need more aperture, I use a 50/1.4 Canon LTM. It gets the job done nicely. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the chrome version still made out of brass? I might be wrong… but I thought the v5 in silver chrome is no longer in production. At the same time I do believe that all v5 chromes ever being produced, was made out of brass… Should be rather easy to get one used. Have one myself and really good ergonomics & nice solid feel.

oldwino Posted November 7, 2021 Share #51  Posted November 7, 2021 I would think a nice complimentary lens to the Elmarit would be a Summilux, maybe the V3. Or, more budget conscience, the Voigtlander Nokton 50/1.5 II. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elixxir Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share #52  Posted November 15, 2021 Thank you for all your recommendation, I bought the 50 lux asph BC for extra speed. Really solid and heavy lens 🤣   1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
