hdmesa Posted May 5, 2023 Share #41  Posted May 5, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) First few shots with the 40 2.8 on the SL2-S. @Steven, I think this lens does remind me of the 28 Summaron. I will shoot some film with it this weekend, but it will be about two weeks before I get them back from the lab.  On the SL2-S: f/2.8 Welcome, dear visitor!

The hard part will be trying to remember which rolls were shot with the 40, but it should be the ones that are framed slightly different than I normally would since I had no 40mm frame lines. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M10-D, 40mm Heliar Asph f/2.8 @ f/2.8 Way off of subject, but that aluminium "box" with the three knobs/switches and the needle indicator.........would that be an old David Cecil / Strobe Equipment flash exposure meter from the 1960's? I used to be a studio assistant in a studio on Farringdon Street back then, one of my first jobs in the business, and the studios were close to David Cecil's workshop that was near to Farringdon Station. David made great flash units, but there was many a kick I got from them when switching cables without discharging the capacitors!.......Nostalgia seeing that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Smudgerer, nice story. if you find yourself in central London you could call in the Aperture camera store, the meter is on a display shelf at the back of the store. Great shop & lovely staff, but be warned it might give you a nostalgia overload. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shop & lovely staff, but be warned it might give you a nostalgia overload. Thanks robbie3 for the heads up as to where it is, yet another place to visit without my wallet, ( having just yesterday found a quite pristine "orphaned" M2 here and felt it would be a charitable act to offer it a good home before it was turned out onto the cold streets ). But yes, I should be there at the end of August for a working trip, so if that all goes well Aperture may well be on my list. Back on the subject of this thread I did own the Heliar 40 2.8 since last year but sold/traded it recently for the VM 25mm 1.4 Nokton Classic SC that I now do prefer over the Heliar. I also have the VM 40mm 1.4 Nokton which is a quirky but lovable lens on a film M, not so much on digital as that does emphasize it's quirks probably too much for some. Nothing optically wrong with the Heliar or with it's rendering, I just couldn't play nicely with the revolving iris ring that happens when you focus the lens, haptics, but it's images are quite lovely wide open.

Olaf_ZG Posted May 13, 2024 Share #54  Posted May 13, 2024 After I bought the 28mm summaron, this heliar has been nagging me. As 28mm is too wide for a daily carry (my pov), this lens would suits my need for that. So, when I saw it in a store I bought it. Below one of the first images. The summaron appears to be sharper, but for daily usage moments, feelings and emotions are maybe more important than sharpness. I do really like my sonnar for nudes, the lux for all the rest, but the heliar is tiny. the sonnar has focus shift, the brass lux is heavy, the heliar has its quirks. For every day, the heliar might be my lens. The 35mm cron went up for sale. Welcome, dear visitor!

burchyk Posted May 17, 2024 Share #55  Posted May 17, 2024 I only shot 2 rolls with it so far. Loving it! Somehow sharp and contrasty yet smooth at the same time. Focus throw takes some time to get used to, it is significantly longer/slower than my other lenses. The upside is that it is much more precise to set by feel. Rotating aperture ring does not bother me too much. Focal length is a nice pairing with a 28mm if you're like me, finding 35mm often neither here nor there and too close to 28, but 50mm already too long for a "street" lens. Can work quite nicely for portraits without as much compression as a 50mm yet a bit more flattering than a 35mm. Really glad I got Heliopan 34-39mm step-up adapter. Had to file the lens mount to get 35mm frame lines. 50mm ones were laughably too small on my M-A. Went to check with a focusing screen behind the film gate on a bulb setting. Turns out the 35mm ones are a better fit for the Heliar than a 35mm lens! The projected image gets only a smidge smaller than the inside of 35mm lines at MFD (barely 1 frameline thickness if that). E.g. the image below was framed before the mod using 50mm frame lines dead on the left and right edges of the doors.  Heliar 40mm f/2.8 (probably at f/8) HP5+ @ EI 1000 Rodinal 1:100 (semi-stand) Lightroom (just inverted and set the black and white point, no edits otherwise, all zero) Welcome, dear visitor!
