Summarit 5cm Photos

Gabor,
O.K... it can do color.... WOW! 🙂

Thanks Gabor, I think. (D**m GAS). And Helen, thanks for asking for these. Next time I'm in New York, I'll buy you a bagel.

Helen, Steve, Jamie, thank you !! 🙂

The next project is shooting a few of my remaining Kodachrome rolls with that lens ... 😱

Most important thing with the Summarit (from my experience) is that it needs MUCH light to produce some contrast (and it should be serviced ...)

Cheers,

gabor

Was it at 400 or it was pushed?

Two color shots with the Summarit at night, Provia 400X:

Anthony, the Provia 400X was rated at 400ISO.

Wow! Helen, this shot is gorgeous!

I need to use my Summarit more. Not sure if my copy needs service. The glass looks pretty clean. Maybe the problem is the shooter. 😡

The Summarit is all that you are seeing but unsatisfying wide open. Things get good about f4! The Summilux was a huge improvement on the perfomance of the Summarit. Take a look at the evolution of the Summarit from the Xenon..pretty much the same lens.

That`s - as many things in life -n a matter of taste and personal preferrences ... 😉 If you like optimal sharpness and contrast wide-open, the 50/1.4 ASPH is the way to go.

I had a lightly hazed summarit that I loved wide open, it had the summarit swirls in the OOF areas. It was a fun lense, I just wanted a more modern fast lense.

DAG suggested that I leave my lens as is.

Roma, I think you said you got yours re-coated? How much was it if you don't mind? Have you noticed a significant difference in performance?

BTW here's a colour shot from my Summarit:

And here's a black and white one. Just a social snap, but it's wide open and shows that the lens can work wide open pretty well IMO.

Another one.

I am in love with this lens. But... I may have to sell it to fund a new scanner. 🙁

no idea why this is a bit grainy with velvia 50. But i kind of like it this way.
