Summarit-M 5cm f1.5 Photos

[Ororaro]

This lens is one of my all time favorites among some other Leitz and Nikkors. This lens, however, is unique with a character of its own at all f-stops, as oppopsed to all other lenses that quickly lose their edge from f2.8
More important then optical perfectness is optical personality.

A few from last week's outing:

Nice!

Specially that bus stop. Wild, it looks like a movie. Especially with the quote! 😀

 

[Ororaro]

Thanks, Chris!

This is probably my 100th Bus stop picture I'm posting but I just can't resist them! Every Bus stop seems to have it's own story to tell... and the people it owns!

;-)

Great shots!

What film are you using for these?

What kind of condition is your lens in?

I've been looking at this one myself...thanks for sharing!

Hi!

I used Adox 20 developed in HC110 dilution H for 14 minutes, 3 inversions every 3 minutes.

The Lens is in Excellent condition. There is a huge sample variation on the market so I suggest a thorough clean for optimal results.

I hope you find one. A very fine lens, IMO.

really wonderful bokeh. much smoother compared to jupiter 9 which I did got recently. Summarit is the lens to get at next time 🙂,.. summar, collapsible summicron.. long list 🙂

# 3 is great, very moody and the tree looks .... lost ? fragile ? Nice series of photos, Ned. This lens has character.

I love the signature of the Summarit. It's very unique, like that of the Summar. You can pick out the negs on a light table.

Two shots from today, with the M8.

First, my wife wanted me to buy her an ugly hat

And then we saw Al Pacino (look carefuly):

Hehehe!

Them rappers and afro americans have this weird thing with names (Jacynda, lassondra, jassandra, farfanella, jackstrappa and so on) but Alpa tchino? I knew there was something going on in that poster so I stared at it until I found the "error" 🙂

Thanks for commenting!

Here's a couple of my Summarit shots:

I think the first is wide open, the second is f2.0. Both are Neopan 1600, developed in Ilford LC29.

Good lens, eh, Benno? I like mine a lot.
Here's yet another obligatory baby shot...
