Leica LTM Pre-war Leica glass, show your photos

I am surprised. All the great pics in this thread yet none shot with a vintage 28/6.3 Hektor. Guess I'll have to cure that after mine gets here tomorrow.

Well Don?


Here are a couple of Summar shots from Armistice Day

Cool, Rick.

I have a nickel Summar coming with a black Leica II. It was a steal, that kit. The Summar I'll keep and shoot (user grade condition, how I like my vintage stuff the best), the black Leica II might get sold if I cannot afford to keep it. Got one already and two would be too much. At least, I think it would...

Planning to shoot pushed Polypan F in the Leica II and use low-contrast uncoated lenses to balance the high-contrast film, see what that gets me. I'll post once I have anything worthwhile.


Great stuff everybody! Show your uncoated pre-war shots!

Looking for shots from:

• 6.3/28mm Hektor
• 6.3/105mm Berg-Elmar
• 4.5/135mm Elmar
• 4.5/135mm Hektor

These are not yet present in this thread! We'd love to see some of those shots, in B&W, color and digital!

I confess I don't use my 135mm f/4.5 Hektor much.. Euh..is the Summaron pre-war?
I still got a couple of Wollensak lenses on the Christmas wishlist.

Dibs on your Black Leica II Johan if you ever choose to sell it.

Oops, the 5.6/28mm Summaron is post-war, the 6.3/28mm Summaron is pre-war...

Rick, I hear you on the black Leica II!

 

[Erik van Straten]

the 6.3/28mm Summaron is pre-war

Hektor 28mm f/6.3 you mean.

Erik.

corrected again!

Dunno what I was smoking...

Great portrait Erik. Tonality (again) is impressive!

That little uncoated pre-war Elmar is plenty sharp! Really love mine!

 

[Davidhel]

Thanks Johan!

Loving all the stuff in this thread - has been a great help seeing examples of all these great old lenses!

 

[Erik van Straten]

Thank you, Johan.

Erik.

Taken with an uncoated Summitar that dates to 1942. Not pre-war, but uncoated so identical to the pre-war Summitars. So hopefully ok to post here

Very nice!

 

[johannielscom]

That Portra and an uncoated lens is pretty nice!

Got two rolls around here somewhere, seems I might need those for a spin whenever a brighter day is up. Currently it's all gray and flat light here...

...And rainy...
