WOW! Did you hand-hold that shot? Love the colors, the geometry, heck, everything!

Thanks Helen, Maggie !!

That shot was hand held, f/1.5 1/30s or so ...

I shot a couple of rolls with mine and saw that it was flaring, so I sent it to Sherry Krauter. She re-coated it and cleaned it. I just shot another roll since it came back, but haven't developed them yet.
The couple of shots here have the flare prior to sending it in, but I still like the way the lens performs. It has that old look.

This one was straight into the sun

Yes, upon revisiting this thread, now I see the swirly Bokeh that I missed the first time around. I see it at the top center. Interesting!

Great images on this thread!

There is any optical or mechanical difference between LTM and M version?

the band leader's girlfriend was taping him with her small camcorder; it looks like to me he is scattering blurred notes springing from this guitar (if that makes sense..)

My first and only Leica lens... a poor, beat up little Summarit 1.5. A little haze and a whole lot of cleaning marks. I try to use it for shot where a low contrast, hazy look works:

its still new to me - I've only shot two rolls with it - so I'm quite hit and miss with the lens.

i like the softness in the first shot, Brian. great series.

Such an incredible lens for the soft retro-look for classic cars:

I wonder if these shots have been sharpened in PS?

 

[dave lackey]

I wonder if these shots have been sharpened in PS?

Which shots? The Jaguar post is obviously straight from the camera, hence, the retro-look. The others, well, my Summarit (now that it was cleaned by Youxin) is capable of some very nice sharp images straight out with stopped down apertures.

For example, same photo shoot, stopped down (before it was cleaned):

Another on a windy day at the MBCA rally (after cleaning):

For a comparison of the cleaned Summarit with the D40 at equal exposures, go here:

My copy of this lens is a nice one. The more I use it, the more I appreciate its character.
Gotta love the Summarit!!

I had forgotten all about this thread! Great to see pictures from this classic lens. Here is another, it makes me realize that I should use the Summarit 5cm more...

M2 + Summarit 5cm f1.5 + Tri-X is my new favorite combo for B&W. My summicron 35mm Ver.1 can take a break at my dry box for a while.
