Having started this thread, and then having had to sell the wonderful Summaron, this last week I sold some prints from photographs made with it. Lovely lens. Wish I could have afforded to keep it.

I like this photo

I've been enjoying my screwmount Summaron 35mm f2.8 lately.
On cheap Fuji 200:

Has anyone here compared the Summaron with the Nikkor 3.5 2.5? They should be similar in performance. Right?

I have a quite early example. Maybe later ones have better coatings and more contrast. My Summarons are contrastier. They are cleaned from fog. Most Summarons in original condition are fogged. I never saw a fogged Nikkor.

Very nice indeed. That is the Summaron look in a nutshell. Great sharpness close up, but not clinical. Very "classical" (hard to describe, but "you know it when you see it" background.

I did a side-by-side comparison last year, but found it inconclusive. If I hadn't taken careful notes, I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart. I have the Summaron with goggles and the Nikkor in S-mount which I shoot with an Amadeo adapter and CV VF, so the ergonomic factors decided me in favor of the Summaron.

Thanks, Vic. The Nikkor costs also much less these days than the Summaron. So it is "better" based on an economic factor 🙂


ergonomic versus economic ....
