First roll with my new M2 and 35mm 3.5 summaron LTM

[RdEoSg]

Most of these were with guessing exposure. I was good on some, under exposed in most of the shade shots so something to work on. I'm definitely not ecstatic about the lens, but I'm borrowing it from work because I don't have a lens yet. I'm used to my old 35mm summicron asph. Yes I know they are not the same, but I think I prefer the look of the modern higher contrast, sharper images from my old kit.

Anyway, here they are, nothing special.

off to a Great Start...

i LOVE the 3.5 35 summaron
Beautifully Sharp, rich inky blacks, Classic Leica
What's not to Love !

Thanks! I guess I need to keep using it and see if it grows on me. I have a roll of Portra 400 loaded right now, so I'm interested to see how the lower saturated color works!

Chris- your pictures above are fabulous, especially the portraits.
Use it more you'll learn to love it.

Looks like very good copy of this lens. I've had it for several months, goggled in M and it was not sophisticated enough in rendering for me.

I have the same lens and use it on a IIIf. It's my favorite for that camera.

Photos look great Chris. My fave lens in LTM. It's just a little fiddly to use 🙂 but the results are always fantastic.
