Titanium doesn't automatically mean Version 2... There was a Titanium of the Version 1. But since Steven said it has the screw in hood, it must be V2 🤔 Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 Hi Marckyokay, Take a look here 28 Summilux vs. 28 Summicron Asph V2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
hdmesa Posted May 12, 2023 Share #102 Posted May 12, 2023 1 hour ago, Steven said: The Silver Elmarit arrived today. I had one last shot in a roll so I took this test portrait in the Kitchen and developed it. It seems to work. I kind of like the very modern rendering on film, I'm into this lately. I suppose the closest rendering to the 28 elmarit in the 35 range is the Summicron 35 asph. Always disliked (to be polite) this lens on digital, but I might give it another shot on film Nice. You might also try the 35 Ultron II since you liked the 28 Ultron II. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEyesHaveIt Posted September 9, 2023 Share #118 Posted September 9, 2023 I hear the Summilux is big - but how big in relation to an 35 FLE Summilux or a 50 Lux? I've been trying out the Voigtlander 28 f2.8 Color Skopar and it is a great tiny lens for day to day things, but contemplating getting a Summilux for dedicated photography. The Summicron is interesting, but seems sort of stuck in the middle for me (and based on the feedback here, most prefer the Lux's rendering). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Summicron is interesting, but seems sort of stuck in the middle for me (and based on the feedback here, most prefer the Lux's rendering). No, not that big. Not as big as the 21 & 24 Summilux, 50 & 75 Noctilux, 75 Summilux, 90 Summilux or APO Summicron; but somewhat larger than the latest 35 Summilux. While being a compact system (even the biggest M lenses are demure compared to other systems), for me the size constraint is how the lens feels in the hand - ease of use of the aperture and focus rings, and balance. The 35 Summilux pre-ash and the 28 Summaron-M (much as I love the latter) are problematic in that sense. They're well designed, but fiddly in my hands. I've never worried about viewfinder blockage. The frame lines are vague guides at best, so I tend to move the camera to see what's behind the lens obstruction in the same way I look outside the frame lines. The primary driver for any lens, for me, is focal length and image quality. Anything else is secondary. Good luck with your choice. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickftl Posted March 25, 2024 Share #120 Posted March 25, 2024 late to the party, just saw this thread. I've only had my M10 for a month. I'd love a used summilux just for it's rendering at 1.4 and would be willing to pay the roughly $4400 they're going for used, but not willing to put up with its size/weight. I considered the cron, and ultimately went with the ultron. I think it pairs well with my M10, and unlike others, don't have any objections to the focus tab. Here are shots I took last week with the ultron. In bright light stopped down to f11, it turns the M10 into a point/shoot. https://brick.smugmug.com/Photography/2024-3-20-Ft-Lauderdale-spring-break Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
