75mm f/1.4 Summilux Photos

Friday Morning ....lux just ARRIVED....
serial # 306xxxxx...so I guess she is a 1979 / The earliest version
only two shots taken so Far
but the .58 does not seem to be a Problem when focsing wide open

I think this Lens will make my LUST for the nocti DISAPPEAR.

She's a BEAUTY and was just serviced because she SAT in a GLASS Shelf for many Years
were Becoming fast friends & I will put her to Good Use....😀
LOVE. LOVE. Drunk Love !!!!

Congrats, Helen.

Same happened for me. Once I had the Lux, I didn't feel I needed a super fast 50 anymore.

Have fun,

Roland.

Hello Helen,
Congratulations on the "Near Virgin" Lux. Enjoy her now.
I have to thank Roland for sending me on the route to Lux Heaven.
I saw him reducing his lens collection and then buy a Lux. I started to think .... and sometimes I actually think!

Congrats Helen! I had the same experience when my lux arrived - not a sign of use. The focusing ring has only just loosened up now that she's seeing some use after these years..

Here's a portrait taken on the 88 bus in Boston this past Wednesday evening. I believe this was closer than a meter - youre going to love the close focus distance Helen, especially after your experience with the 1 meter min of that beautiful black 50 lux you gave up recently!

Congratulations Helen! Can't wait to see your photos with this lens. I think you'll be OK with the .58, but you might want to get a 1.25 eyepiece adapter. I have a .72 (and .68) VF and the 1.25 is overkill with it, but 1.25 was useful (but not necessary) with this lens and the RD1.
 
No Noctilux needed here since I have a 75 Lux, but I own three 50's for their differant looks: a 50 Rigid Cron, a 50/3.5 Nickel Heliar, and a 50/2.0 Nickel Heliar. No need for any fast fifty otherwise.

Helen congrates. My German "Version 3" is kinda minty BTW also.

Nice shots, Helen!
Your 75mm Summilux is so lucky to have you as a new owner!
was #312 taken @ Bowery and Grand?!
I have to give Rodinal a try when I finish my HC110.
Love the tonality in your shots...
 
JUJU : BINGO.... You know the Exact Location / Thank YOU for your Kind Words ...It was Grand meeting YOU and letting me PLAY with your noctilux...Long Sigh

Thanx RAID ...though i want to try and DO Portaits the way YOU do...their Quite FAB w/ the 75
