JimmyCheng Posted December 10, 2024 Share #21  Posted December 10, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) it's personal preference but I found the steel rim or pre-asph summilux unusable wide open. It's not just the glow but the highlight bleeding and mushy overall feel (you could easily achieve that by smearing the front element on modern lenses). Some people call it dreamy but I don't think it's dreamy like noctilux (that lens is dreamy). Hence, it's always summcron v1 or v4 for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use steel rim starting from f2 and it's sharp enough for me. I like its looking and size though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
