Tony C. Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share #21 Posted October 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I would guess a 50 from the angle of view. Possibly a 75, but I suspect not.Contrast is moderately low, so I'd guess it's an oldie. I've never used a 50/1, but there's nothing swirly about this. Hard to tell aperture, because there's nothing in clear focus. The edge of the point spread is well defined, so it's a well corrected lens, so I'd guess 1960s based on the degree of correction and contrast. Or a 1970s wide open. There's a hint of oof artifacting (faux lines produced by point spread), which is somewhat rare in Leica and more common in Zeiss. So... I'd have to join Carsten... a classic Sonnar 50/1.5. Were these made as late as the 60s? Or did you buy Jack's Canon 50? Interesting analysis. It's a (modern, though limited edition) M-Hexanon 50mm 1.2. That image was shot wide-open at dusk. I've made a few more comments a couple of posts above yours. Regards, Tony C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocker Posted October 19, 2007 Share #22 Posted October 19, 2007 Rats - just caught up with this thread and thought, from the title, it would be interesting. Must go back to developing film and dousing myself with stop bath. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
