Not completely prewar but close enough I think...

First shots back from recently purchased 1930s elmar on kodak gold / cvs processing. I am surprised by the sharpness and contrast. I thought the uncoated were supposed to be lower contrast. Pleasantly surprised by this lens so far.

This is such a great shot, I can't stop looking at it!

That is exactly what i love about the Summar, no other lens is quite like it.

Thanks-- I did a 16x12" RA4 darkroom colour print of the 'Rage' ride and won an award at my Club and when I told the judge he was shocked !

Beautiful shot Rick! Looks very dreamy.

 

[Mr_Flibble]

Thanks Dirk,

Lucky's poor Anti-Halation layer is probably the main source of the softeness next to the cleaning marks on the rear element.

Love the tone, Rick! Like old sepias!

I second Johan on this one - this is part, why I like the first shot of the fallen tree.
