jip Posted July 28, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Today I bought locally from another photographer his Summarit-S 1:2.5/35mm ASPH. For a good price! I have yet to use it but can’t wait! Welcome, dear visitor!

ynp Posted July 29, 2022 Share #3 Posted July 29, 2022 How do you compare the S35 to your Contax lenses? I am looking for a wide lens because my Leica Zoom has been broken down. thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jip Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted July 29, 2022 I until now only used the Zeiss 35 3.5 the Leica lens is way ahead. Especially at closer focus ranges. But I must say the Zeiss always did great! I will compare the two in more detail as I’ve shot the new lens more. see on this post I have quite some Zeiss 35mm shots: https://jipvankuijk.nl/two-years-with-leica-s-e-typ-006/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailronin Posted July 29, 2022 Share #5 Posted July 29, 2022 I really enjoy the 35mm Summarit on my (006). I used to have the 24mm but sold it as it got very little use . The 35 is just right for street photography. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter12 Posted July 29, 2022 Share #6 Posted July 29, 2022 The 35 is my go-to lens and usually stays on my camera, even if I have the 70 in the bag. It is big and heavy (not as heavy as the 120, though!), but an excellent lens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmknoble Posted July 30, 2022 Share #7 Posted July 30, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) @jip for landscape work on the coast, the 35mm and 45mm are my most used focal lengths. I really like the 35mm as it seems to be one of the widest with such little distortion. Nice buy! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmay Posted July 30, 2022 Share #8 Posted July 30, 2022 I have not tried the 35. I used the 30 quite a lot until I got the 24; now the 30 collects dust. I have occasionally thought about trading the 30 for a 35. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan_S Posted July 30, 2022 Share #9 Posted July 30, 2022 Congratulations Jip, I love the rendering of the 35mm even for portraits 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have occasionally thought about trading the 30 for a 35. 24 and 35 is likely a more convenient combo than 24 and 30. On the other hand, eg 24+45+70 spans the wide to normal focal lenghts nicely.

shanefking Posted July 30, 2022 Share #11 Posted July 30, 2022 Btw how fast is the autofocus of third party lenses with adapters compared to Leica lenses? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As fast as the lens can focus, in Contax 645’s case its pretty fast, the one thing I noticed the Contax 645 lenses are faster at is: Less shutter lag when stopped down a lot. Leica S lenses when stopped down to lets say f/8 or smaller considerably increase the time before the exposure is made, seems Leica aperture control in Leica S lenses is slow. Contax 645 lenses are faster in that regard. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jip Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share #13 Posted August 2, 2022 Just heard back from Leica, the lens has had the replacement autofocus motor installed in 2018. Phew. That’s one worry less 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jip Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share #14 Posted August 16, 2022 P.S. if anyone wants to get the Contax 645 35mm f/3.5 from me feel free to PM me. It is a great lens for the Leica S and was my favourite lens from the Contax line up when used on the Leica S. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
