Very nice. I particularly like nos. 4 and 6. We should have a thread of recent work with this delightful old lens. Elmar 50/3.5 coated, Leice IIIc, Neopan 1600 @800, HC 110:

No, Prius, that's the famous "Leica glow"!! Wonderful pix overall. I love the 5cm Elmar too.

I'd buy a Prius if it had 4WD.

Plasticity is a little-known quality of this lens!

FPJ, Summar, "Prius" -- Thanks for commenting!

This lens can be quite sharp...

I have seven 50s, well a few over and some under, but close. And the Elmar 50 is my favorite. Great shoots! Does the Prius have two wheel drive?

I've always liked the images created by the Elmar and other Tessar-type designs. I think the Rollei Sonnar 40/2.8 is the best of the genre, but wouldn't refuse an Elmar. In the meantime, the Trip35 D.Zuiko comes damn close.
