Summarit M 50/1.5 first photos

[jpmac55]

Not many lens can render such busy background smoothly. The Summarit is quite smooth already. Anyway great shots, I've abandoned mine for too long, time for resurrection haha, some how it's really hard to focus on my M8.

So how hard is it, focusing with the M8? I found one of these classics in good shape but not sure if the M8 will recognize it. Is yours coded?

i find the focusing easy on the m8, but don't much like the infinity lock. i use the milich ltm adapter, and the code for the 50mm summilux pre-asph. that's 000101 according to the source i use.

No I don't code mine, I have a Summarit M and focusing on my M3 is really smooth, while putting it on the M8 the turning is a bit stiffer, no idea why.

Hello all,

I would like to share some shots from my Summarit M test roll. I read a lot of mixed reviews on the net, but I guess this one is a keeper.

I shot with my M6 + Kodak BW400CN.

Hope you like it. They say it is a great lens to photograph women, so I decided to test it with my wife.

Thanks.

Excellent shots and a beautiful model too... Thanks for posting.
