Hi, the Heliar is my other 75mm lens. I do not use it very often. I bought it out of curiosity. -  And curiosity killed the cash ... 😀

This is a fantastic shot, Peter. I first saw it a few years ago in your review of the Summarit 75 - which helped me in my decision to buy one. Over the years I’ve tried and owned a few Leica M lenses (having owned the M9 and M262 cameras) but this lens is the one I can’t part with.

 

I now use it on my SL2-s and I still love the results it gives me. I’m about to add a fast M 35 (probably a Voigtländer) so that I can continue to enjoy proper manual focus but with the focus assistance benefits (for me) of the SL.
 

Back to your photo; the illumination of the face and vignette really appeal to me. Brilliant. And my apologies if I’ve wandered off topic.

Cheers,

Chris.

Chris, that's awfully kind of you.... no need for apologies when it comes to complimenting an image of mine, ha ha!

The 75 Summarit is such a nice lens.  I made the mistake of selling mine at some point, and now they're discontinued.  Shame. 

I hope Leica reconsiders and starts producing them again.

If there were any M focal length I might "double up on,"

+1

’lux 75 and APO cron 75

the first one for the creamy and painterly OOF areas, which allow for unique portraits.

the second one for size, sharpness and smooth bokeh
