Please show your photos with 35/2.5 Scopar Classic (not type II)

I found something in the gallery, but not too much.
It would nice to see shots with wide open aperture, and "bokeh"

I haven't shot much wide open w/ this lens, so I can't say much about bokeh. It's nice for street and landscapes, though.

Thanks a lot! I ordered Bessa R3A with 35/2.5 Classic (because it's cheaper 🙂 )
So I wonder is there a difference in images between Scopar Classic and Scopar Pancake ?

The 35 2.5 Classic is glued to my Bessa, you can see a lot of examples in my gallery, some of them wide open.
Both lenses have the same optics, no difference in images at all. The classic is ltm, so you need an adapter for the R3A. The Classic is easier to use because of the nice focusing tab.

It's my understanding that the lenses have the same optical formula, so there should be no difference in the images.

Also, check out Avotius's photos w/ the pancake -- really wonderful images, and not too contrasty.

I ordered LTM/M adapter too, of course.
Thanks for the shots, the one with people in the rain is especially great!

I agree that third shot is terrific.

I post it again because that shot is gorgeous, wonderful picture Iñaki!

Ok no bokeh, but just samples to show of good the lens is (not the photographer 🙁 )

I add that I really love that lens, but I don't think its bokeh performance is first class. If you want creamy bokeh, you should consider another lens. If you want a very good versatile 35mm lens, then go for the Skopar C.

Personally I found the lens a little harsh and have now upgraded to the Ultron, which I also feel is a bit more solid.
