[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The APO 75 Summicron ASPH is probably my favourite M lens of all although the new 35 is now competing for its number one spot on my camera http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/144872730 http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/147902745 Purely on focal length longer is better for tightly framed portraits but I find it wonderfully versatile, accurate and predictable across the range of apertures up to wide open too. It works great on the M9 ;-) You can try it in10 days. ----------------------------- Message: 26 Date: Sat, 7 Sep 2013 01:16:23 +0200 From: Lluis Ripoll <lluisripollquerol at gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Leica] Nathans Voigtlander 35mm lens To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> Message-ID: <CEAD58A4-A2C6-40CC-9AEB-BB6175B00BA8 at gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 I've never tried it, it is glorious, even too sharp? cheers Lluis El 07/09/2013, a las 00:46, John McMaster <john at mcmaster.co.nz> escribi?: > Add the 75mm Summicron to that list ;-) > > john > >> -----Original Message----- >> >> Nathan, >> >> Don't try this, is very dangerous!
