Summilux 35mm pre-asph photos

Here are two shots from Venice last weekend, both at full aperture and shows the 35mm lux at its worst with the highlights bleeding with flare and some coma. If you can live with this (I can) you get the character and the lightest smallest f1.4 lens available.

Unless you need the 1.4

Unless you need the 1.4

The cron asph 35/2 may be better at f2 and up, and smaller and cost less than the 1.4 lux asph.

That's my opinion, and I think the opinion of Puts, Leica, and others. But I'm always willing to look at unphotoshopped images from any lens.

hehe.. nah.. this was the Nokton on the R3A taken back in 2005.

If I had a 35 Lux I would have posted something already - for the time being, I guess I may hunt down a 35 Lux ASPH or a 35 Cron ASPH - not that I can afford them.. but then again.. ya only go around once eh? 😀

maddoc, this shot is very cool. When I looked at this "briefly", I get instant impression that it was shot under daylight. but when you look more at details and recognize the opposite 😀

Thanks you NB23 and 35mm delux, i think i will sell my Summilux ASPH and get a pre-asph, the summilux asph is too modern for me, and i prefer "vintage" tones.
Vignetting and extreme sharpness are not important to me, the main word for me is "Character"

35mmdelux, may you tell why you like the 35 Lux ASPH better ?

Aaaah! I see you've tasted and understood! What a great lens it is! You have some great shots with it!
 
Hi NB23,
thanks for the compliment
you can see more shots with the 35mm summilux preasph on http://www.samysnider.com
I really enjoy this lens, it's so perfect, the size, the glow, the tones, the handling, thanks a lot for your advice.I would buy another one if i lost this one. Everybody who wants to have a 35mm and the Leica glow should choose the Preasph, it's so unique.

Ya, it's great!


Gabor,
I like your shot. Again, the character and the fact that it looks like daylight while it's nighttime makes the shot very special.
 
tomasis and Ned, thank you !!! This lens became my mostly used lens again, since my other favorite lens is still in service .... :bang:



Cheers,

maddoc
 
Just received mine in the mail, but noticed that the aperture closes unevenly. I'm assuming this is not 'normal' ? Will try and get a photo up to show what I mean

Congrats!!!

An uneven aperture (oval instead of round) can be normal. What's important is its overall diameter. Test at all f-stops and check for uneven exposure between frames. If all is well exposed, then all is normal.

Aperture blades shouldn't look, sound nor move in a flimsy way.
 
Ned,

Thanks for the advice. I'll shoot a test roll with it today and see how it turns out.
