the king of 40mm (Leica Mount)

[back alley]

Why? I actually was hoping to get more good words about it. Keep waiting on more pis from it too.

i feel like i'm in a more exclusive club...or maybe that there are fewer of us that recognize it's true worth...

of course this is coming from someone who is still waiting on the mail to deliver his...

i'm sorta glad that the rollie is running last...

The Rollie was maybe the top choice by RFF members when they reviewed what I did with Roland with 35-40mm lenses. People loved the look it was giving to images.

I'm surprised that there is a substantial difference in votes between Summicron and Rokkor. Can there really be a noticeable difference in imaging?

Some claim that the Rokkor is multicoated while the Summicron is not.

How about the 40mm 2.8 Elmarit-C? Never seen any results of it, tbh (just wondering)
Here's one for sale (not related to the seller) for a huge price ..

It was either Fuji Reala 100 or Walgreens 400, which is Fuji 400.
Most likely, it was Walgreens 400.

I would love to try such a lens out and compare it with the Summicron C.

I had the Nokton 1.4 SC. Didn't use it all that much, I think because it is to close to 50mm and I didn't like its overall rendering. After I sold it I soon got attached to the 35mm Summicrons and liked them especially for better sharpness and their bookeh. I have the versions I, II and V. Still looking for nr. III and IV ;-)
