Love that opener and Andre's crosswalk. This seems like a lens made for the M9 like the 35/1.4 pre-ASPH is- lovely color there Kristian.

The 50 Planar ZM is certainly a lovely lens!

 

[robbeiflex]

Fantastic lens, my favourite!

I have other 50s, but this one is close to my heart. The rendering is so special.

Beautiful...

This thread is really making me appreciate planar lenses and that is the closest I have to this great lens.

I was planning to trade my elmar-m 5cm (v1) for a planar (adding money on top of course). Now I think I want it definetely! is it a good decision??

It depends on what look you want. Vintage vs. modern ... the Planar is very modern looking.

I have my canon 50mm f1.2 for vintage look. I think I need a modern 50 planar. All other lenses I have are modern though, I wish I had some vintage 35mm too.

I must say I am sold. Going to sell some stuff :bang: to fund the Planar and Sonnar! 😛

Benji77, I had to do the same -- but it was well worth it! 🙂

Well the planar is my reference lens for sharpness and contrast. Not a sunny day lens, though, too much contrast!

Did anyone have this lens corrected for close range wide open?

For what reason?
