Konica LTM Konica 50/2.4 LTM?

[02Pilot]

Its a really interesting lens. Add me to the list of 'had but sold'.

I loved the results I got with it and the fast, smooth focus. It had the slight bit of wobble others reported but it didn't seem to cause any image issues. I used it on both an ltm body and on an M.

My interest in the lens was primarily about its compactness, fast focus and ergonomics. In the end, I switched to the Elmar-M as it was a bit smaller collapsed and just as fast to focus. At times I prefer the rendering of the 50/2.4 but the Elmar ticked more boxes for me.

Nice samples. I love the look, but as noted above, I'm questioning whether the size might be too large for my preferences. Since I'd be using it on a Barnack body of one sort or another most of the time, I'd hate to lose the compactness of the body because of a large lens.

I have seen this lens once on the image beside another lenses, at rangefinder.ru.
It is disproportionately huge lens for collapsible.

What I used to have:

Looks like you might be better off with the CV 50/2.5.

It does look a lot more appropriate on that M2. I can feel the compulsive need receding. Ah well, probably ends up saving me some money in any case. Now if I can just back away from the 35/2 I'll be fine....

Thanks, folks.

I recently bought such a lens. I find nothing wrong with it. It is beautifully made and it is an extremely sharp 50mm lens. I bought it for my M cameras.

Is there any user of such a lens here?

I am still using my 50 2.4. A wonderful lens.
