Old lenses on the Leica M8.

Jarski - go down to your local costco, and get a 160 lumen LED CREE flashlight for $8 or so. Shining this through the back of your lens will show any any visible dust or cleaning marks, though may still be hard to photograph if/when you sell a lens, still a very low cost to describe exactly what the glass is like.

When without an account to 'the other forum' you are unable to see the pictures, Brian's right.
Dear Johan,
it is a compliment for me, when you mix me up with Brian. If it is the Brian here, you mix me up 🙂 Alexander

No; I tried it: I logged out and I stayed logged out after and during viewing. Anyway, it is just a matter of making a quick account.

Dear Jaap,
you have an account there; you log-in, you log-out; After logging-out, you can still see the *secret* pictures, because: even if you SEEM to be NOT logged-in, you are so-to-say logged-in invisibly, because of the cookies. Try the same with a foreign reckoner, with which you worked never before; visit the fore mentioned other forum WITHOUT logging in, and you won't see the attached pictures.

Here's an old lens+spirits shot to add to the collection here...

Very early 50's Summarit. 1250 iso f2 at 1/15, no post.
The rum was straight outta Haiti and the most delicious I'd ever had.

The pianist Mitsuko Uchida

A very difficult subject, because Uchida is very lively and the light was dim.

A 1957 Summicron 50/2 on M8:



Hi to all.

I got myself my first LTM lens yesterday.
It is a 1951 35 Summar 3.5 LTM

I love this lens. I want more LTM lenses now ;-)

More from the day on my website.

Where can I find a good overview of the important classic lenses apart from Stephen's excellent guide to Leica lenses?
How do you reference prices of these lenses?

I went in a shop and just bought it, as it was in beautiful condition and really surprised me, how well it is made, how perfect it still runs after 60 years and how easy it operates.

eat it, Yoshi!! 😉
