Smooth Operator ... 90mm Summicron!

[Keith]

Occasionally ... I can begrudgingly understand why some of the Leica lenses have the reputation and mystique they seem to possess!

For some unknown reason I decided to drag my early model 90mm Summicron out of the cupboard yesterday along with my ZI and take a few shots with this combo ... it's a damned heavy lens so perhaps I just felt I needed the exercise! 😀

Bokeh (that word sorry) to die for and decently sharp at f2. I'd convinced myself recently that my 85mm f2 Zuiko was more than a match for it but realistically ... nahhhh! 😛

Please feel free to post some more 90mm Summicron pics! 🙂

I kept thinking about selling mine many times. As many of us do before selling the gear, I took it out for the last short and after I did that, I became the in-decisive person. 🙁
My latest try, M6TTL + 90mm (pre-asph) + Tri-x

I agree about the bokeh (I was told that word is a homonym for "stupid" in Japanese). Bokeh has never been very important to me, but I noticed it was nice with this lens.

Mine is really hit or miss. And the low contrast of the lens takes a bit of compensation when used on the M8.

Hey ... I have a 90mm Summicron pic of one of those crazy P&S chimpers also Gabor! 😀
