What you are mentioning says M mount; which is not the same. After all the discussions we had about CL, I think it may be interesting for some to make sure that any other than M (leica) is also working fine. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boojay Posted April 22, 2022 Share #23  Posted April 22, 2022 Couple from me also with the Canon EF 135😊... this is the one focal length I would like Sigma to add to their contemporary I-range, as I want to be able to use the CL for a few more years yet it would be nice to have.  Welcome, dear visitor!

lct Posted April 22, 2022 Share #25  Posted April 22, 2022 All manual lenses have not an M mount of course but it is curious to have two different threads for manual lenses. If i use my Elmar 35/3.5 which is a LTM lens on my CL, where am i supposed to post my pics? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share #26  Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) I don't think another thread is needed for this issue. We can discuss the issue of different manual lenses on CL here. If you are using any manual lens on your CL, I think this is the right place!  BTW, I am posting shots with Nikon mounted lenses only because I have Nikkor lenses from the past. But as you can see, other friends are posting pictures with other different manual glasses. Edited April 22, 2022 by Louis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!    I always love to see shots of Charlie! One of the reasons I grabbed a copy of this lens, the only EF option I use, is because of its relatively light weight.  Fast glass over 100mm FL is generally impractically heavy for my purposes, and this lens is about 700g IIRC.. When I read that Canon's RF 135mm will be f/1.4, it was an easy choice.  The fast 85mm is almost 1.2kg, so one can only imagine what the 135 will be! As "old" a design as it may be, the EF 135mm f/2 tops Leica R's offering in speed; and is every bit as good in sharpness, color, and microcontrast.  1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a dedicated thread for images taken with R lenses mounted on any brand of camera, with some **ahem** 😉 fantastic photos there.  I vote we leave things as they are:  any manual lenses---M, R, other brands, etc., as this thread is camera-specific.  YMMV.

As "old" a design as it may be, the EF 135mm f/2 tops Leica R's offering in speed; and is every bit as good in sharpness, color, and microcontrast.   Thanks Rob, Charlie is very photogenic!  I still have three ef options, the 50L 135L and the 200 2.8 II L, which is a similar weight to the 135 f/2 and has always been a favourite, though I most definitely do not have your experience with R glass (or any other mount for that matter😊), all better suited for use on a Canon body of course, but nice to play with on the CL occasionally. I did try a 135 2.8 R at one point, and tried to love the 135 3.4 M Apo, didn't feel any love for that one, maybe I had poor copy.  As far as names of threads are concerned I thought Louis made it pretty clear.. I understood this one to be for anything other than M mount (from any manufacturer) adapted,  as opposed to the other thread specifically for M mount lenses (again whatever manufacturer) on the T/TL/CL etc.     Edited April 23, 2022 by Boojay 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit complicated for my old brain given that M lenses are "manual lenses" and some superb images have been shot with LTM lenses on the "other" thread already but my Jupiter 9 from 1969 can find a modest place here hopefully.

tommonego@gmail.com Posted April 25, 2022 Share #34  Posted April 25, 2022 OK here is probably hte oldest lens I own,a 40mm Makro Kilar in a Canon FD mount. Pairs nicely with the CL.

lct Posted April 26, 2022 Share #35  Posted April 26, 2022 Pretty unremarquable lens here, Skopar 50/2.5 in LTM mount. I bought it for its small size a couple decades ago but it has not the character of the Elmar-M 50/2.8 and is outperformed by the Summarit-M 50/2.5. Good workhorse on the CL but may need some extra aharpening below f/5.6. (Digital CL, CV 50/2.5, Rayqual LTM to M adapter, Leica M to L adapter). Welcome, dear visitor!

lct Posted April 27, 2022 Share #38  Posted April 27, 2022 Forgot my all time favorite Carl Zeiss Tessar 35/3.5. I use it so often that i forgot it is not an M lens. Was a fixed lens on Yashika film P&S in the nineties and has been adapted with LTM mount by MS optics in Japan. For triplet lovers, same character as the Elmar-M 50/2.8 latest version. Works fine on FF and even better on APS cameras. Hard to find but i've been lucky enough to pick the silver and black paint copies below on e**y a couple years ago. Welcome, dear visitor!
