Hi! I think you could have some great color results with this lens :
Italia - Vernazza par exo-flux, sur Flickr
True. It looks nice here, but the colors still look a bit like a 1960's postcard. I think it's an unbeatable b&w lens.
Hi,
I would have said the film, lighting, exposure and developing probably caused the saturation, or the original printing, scanning etc. Most likely the film, imo.

Yes and no, when I used a summicron, even with the same configuration, the colors had a more modern look. All the lenses before the 70'-80' give a color rendition different from the modern lenses, especially with slide films.

Fascinating. Is there any documentation of this?
Of course pictures from the 30's using 30's color film look "different," but does this also hold true using modern film? You'd expect to see this difference in the "Prewar Leica Glass" thread, for instance.
