bcapphoto Posted November 9, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 9, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I currently have the 50mm Summilux ASPH on my M10. I previously owned the M246 but sold it. I'm upgrading (downgrading) to the M9 Monochrom and I'm curious - what is your favorite 35mm and 50mm lenses for the OG Monochrom? I personally love(d) the look of the 50mm Collapsible (which I owned previously) and the 35mm Summicron v3 on the Monochrom. I'll be looking to swap over to something more appropriate for the M9M and my M6 - perhaps something less clinical. Your thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted November 10, 2023 Share #4 Posted November 10, 2023 As old Monochrom user, I tend to use non-asph.lenses with/on it. Summicron 35mm every version will do "miracle" with this nice monochrome sensor. I use on it (and M246 also) Summicron 35mm version I (8 element, not even see the less contrast "thing") very subtle rendering, the version II may be the best combo following with the infamous IV. Good news is every 35mm Summicron can become "great" in use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say the 35mm Summicron ASPH has any benefit on the old M9M or do the older ones bring more character and "life" that match the vibe of the M9M?

pippy Posted November 11, 2023 Share #7 Posted November 11, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) 35mm is a '74 v2 Summilux. 50mm is a '53 f1.5 Summarit (M). Both lenses (as is well-known) have notable 'individualistic' rendering at the wide end of the aperture scale yet become easily sharp enough (for my needs) when stopped-down. Philip.

costa43 Posted November 16, 2023 Share #8 Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) For less ‘clinical’ I enjoy the 50mm ‘lux pre asph and the Nokton 40mm f1.4 which although is not 35mm, it comes in 35mm too. I’m predominately a vintage lens fan but on the m9m the Voigtlander Apo 50mm also works really well in my opinion.

Milan_S Posted November 22, 2023 Share #9 Posted November 22, 2023 the pre asph lenses are beautiful on it: 35mm f2 v1 8elements, 35mm steel rim and for portraits the Noctilux f1 or f1.2 plus the Thambar ofc! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
