Jeff S Posted April 25, 2023 Share #41 Posted April 25, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) We have different philosophies regarding gear purchases, and dealer relationships. I also don’t mind paying for full insurance.. all part of photography for me. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Hi Jeff S, Take a look here 35mm conflicting thoughts... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Steven Posted April 26, 2023 Share #42 Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) I’ve tried all 35s I can think of. I ended up with my holy grail 35 kit which consists of two lenses. The 35AA combined with the Steel Rim (original). This kit can also be built on a “low budget”: the summilux pre apse v2 to replace the steel rim, and the 35 pre fle (best value 35 in the world in my opinion). if I could only keep one it could be the summilux pre asph it’s perfect My beat around 35 is the nokton. I love that lens wide open and closed down on film. First shot is with the SR Second shot is with the 35AA all on film since it’s the interest of the OP. Welcome, dear visitor!

Steven Posted April 26, 2023 Share #43 Posted April 26, 2023 And one shot from this afternoon with the Nokton, V1 MC. All on film since it's what the OP is interested in (Portra 160, 400, and 800) Welcome, dear visitor!

(Including me ) The Steel Rim is the 35mm 1.4 Summilux V1. If you don't have 30k to spare on it, you can get the V2, which will give you the same thing more or less. The 35AA is 35mm 1.4 Aspherical Summilux (V3). If you don't have 20k to spare on it, you can get the V4, which is referred as Pre FLE, or 35mm 1.4 Summilux ASPH. It will give you the same thing more or less.
