Advertisement Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Hi paisatge, Take a look here Which 28/35/75mm with M8?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ptarmigan Posted September 23, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 23, 2009 1. For colours (saturated/contrasty)2. For portraits (skin tones) Like to hear your opinion Well personally I'd go with the 35 cron ASPH and 75 cron APO> I have the 35 and am actively looking for a good S/H 75. As for the 28, I'd probably go for the 28 Elmarit as I believe it performs a bit better than the Summicron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted September 23, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 23, 2009 I like the Konica 28mm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiralx Posted September 23, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 23, 2009 1. For colours (saturated/contrasty)2. For portraits (skin tones) Like to hear your opinion I had the 28 Summicron but sold it for the Elmarit, which I'm very happy with - it does give more contrast in a smaller, cheaper package. I have both the 75 Summarit and 75 Summicron. For general photography the 75 Summarit is great, sharp and with fine colour rendition, as well as being small (though the hood makes it almost as big as the Summicron) - but for portraits I'd favour the Summicron if you can afford it as it does seem to render skintones well: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fursan Posted September 23, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 23, 2009 Really?. Could you please elaborate, as this has not been my experience and I have both. Best. ..snip As for the 28, I'd probably go for the 28 Elmarit as I believe it performs a bit better than the Summicron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSU Posted October 2, 2009 Share #6 Posted October 2, 2009 I have the 28/35/75 mm Summicrons and these days I use them on my M8.2's. The 28 is Aspheric and the 75 is Apochromatic and the 35 is the v4. I shoot only RAW and I feel I have more than adequate control of tonality and contrast if I get the exposure reasonably correct. I shoot these Summicrons because I want them to be sharp, very sharp. I need the F-2.0 but not any faster, nor do I want the bulk of the Summiluxes.

ampguy Posted October 3, 2009 Share #7 Posted October 3, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I would go with an Elmarit or M-Hexanon 28, and summilux 50s and 75s. Here are some photos from a museum with good saturation, all at 1.4 and ISO 160. Some older lenses are nice for portraits as well, maybe a 50/1.5 Summarit, Summaron, or collapsible summicron. 1.

ptarmigan Posted October 5, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 5, 2009 Really?. Could you please elaborate, as this has not been my experience and I have both. Best. Well I don't have either so I can't say from personal experience but I have read this several times including in LFI reviews. Not sure if the is also a Sean Reid review.

tom0511 Posted October 5, 2009 Share #9 Posted October 5, 2009 1. For colours (saturated/contrasty)2. For portraits (skin tones) Like to hear your opinion 1: 28/2.0asph or 28/2.8asph - 35cron asph - 75cron asph 2: 28/2.0asph - 35 Summarit - 75Summarit for me for everything : 28/2.0 asph - probably 35 Summarit (or 35 lux asph) - 75 Summarit I believe the Summarits are a very nice compromise between the older look (less contrast, sharpness) and the newer asph-look. For me the right mixture between sharpnes, smoothness, and medium contrast. The only drawback is that they are not that fast IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
misha Posted October 5, 2009 Share #10 Posted October 5, 2009 1. For colours (saturated/contrasty)2. For portraits (skin tones) Like to hear your opinion it depends on what you are trying to achieve. modern asph crons are very straight forward and extremely modern, while older lenses have what some people call 'character'. i owe both 35 and 75 crons but often use the russian-made 28mm f6 "Orion-15". for example, WWII memorials project was shot exclusively with it. cheers misha PHOTOGRAPHY BY MISHA FRIEDMAN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
