Here a test of my Elmar LTM 50mm at f/4 (1954). I used the method of Jim Kasson.


The result was somewhat disappointing.
The Canon dreamlens (1961) is better at f/4.0

RS Elmar 5cm. APX400.

Lovely picture. What developer did you use for the APX400?

Thanks Pan. It was taken quite awhile ago.. likely to be developed in D-23.

Languid summer days seem to have vanished... kids just reading on the back patio, trips to the lakeshore, etc. I hate sending my kids to school and I'm not looking forward to being an empty nester. Leica IIIc, Kentmere 400

A few from a 1934 Elmar 5cm f3.5, uncoated. About f5.6.. between 4.5 and 6.3
This lens is fairly low contrast and flares easily. It does have some internal dust that adds to both. Admittedly, it was a pretty low contrast day today. Shot on a half frame Sony digital.

Leica IIIa - Elmar 3.5/50
I think the first three show something of the qualities of my postwar Elmar in somewhat challenging lighting.
The last two were made to compare the performance of the Elmar and the Jupiter 8. To me they are indistinguishable; I don't make any further judgements than that.
