50 2.8 Elmarit-M Magic or Dust on CCD!!!

[b.espahbod]

This was a pic i took for checking the light, later i realized there's something on the ccd but wait!!! a butterfly pixel art, how sharp is this lens

 

[b.espahbod]

Elmar-M by the way

 

[maddoc]

... that's a nice surprise ! Truly sharp lens and sensor !

It reminds me gigabitfilms but this time with color. I wish the butterfly waited for me to test my rigid summicron 50 to see the difference

WTF!!!! LOL is that for real?

The Elmar-M rocks ! The most underrated Leica lens

Who needs macro!! 50 2.8 rocks \m/

Nice! I just got a 1966 vintage Elmar 50/2.8 in M-mount last week, and I'm already salivating for an upgrade now! (Though the vintage lens will collapse on my R-D1 where the Elmar-M will not.)

 

[ferider]

This surprises me, Kermaier, since the Elmar-M doesn't collapse as deep as the classic Elmar 2.8. Is this due to diameter of the collapsing barrel ?

Just wondering,

Roland.

I just got one too (elmar-M). tiny precious gem. It looks ridiculously sexy on m2.

No less sexy on my M7.

I have purchased a new set of lenses:
21 2.8 Asph.
50 2.8
75 2.5
35 2 (7 element chrome)

it seems the cheapest (50 2.8) is the best among them

i guess leica must rethink its sale policies, Noctilux .95 $900, Elmar-M 50 $10000

How is that 75/2.5 doing ? Is it the one of the new Summarit line ?

 

[b.espahbod]

the 75 2.5 is a killer, i will send some samples taken with m8 asap., i will never waste money on 75 2, just look at 75 2.5 MTF compared to 75 2

 

[b.espahbod]

Summarit 75 2.5 with m8 without IR/UV (i dont have e46 IR), the distance between the two lights is 130cm (4.2 ft), just look at the bokeh at f2.5, the closer light is at 90cm (the minimum focus of Summarit 75 2.5)

 

[b.espahbod]

M8 1/8000s f/2.5 focus at Infinity. Summarit 75mm 2.5

Another underrated leica lens
Its a Honda I guess

 

[maddoc]

Wow !! That looks like a quite good lens to me !

 

[b.espahbod]

It has sharpness and bokeh with EUR 1050, what else you want?

 

[hans voralberg]

I'll buy one for sure, when I get back to England. Still want the f2.0 of the Cron though.
