What Kind of lens for ZM mount'

[fernandez_diez]

I want to know if there are other kind of lens as well as Leinca M, Voighlander and Zeiss Zm, to mount in my ZM?
I only read about this three brands. I,m looking for a 50 mm lens with good contrast and perhaps I could look to other brands also with god cuality.
Regards.

Those are the only ones currently made. Of recent vintage you will find the Hexanons that accompanied Konica's Hexar RF, Minolta Rokkors a bit older from the CLE era, and then every LTM lens from Leica, Canon, Nikon, a few from Zeiss, ............... from 1932 forward which will fit with an adaptor.

+ Russian lenses (mostly rebuild Zeiss constructions) like Jupiter 12 (2.8/35mm, "Biogon"), Jupiter 3 (1.5/50mm, "Sonnar") , Jupiter 8 (2.0/50mm, "Sonnar") Jupiter 9 (2.0/85mm "Sonnar") or Industars (Tessar Design) like the 61 L/D 2.8/52mm. All in M39-LTM useable with M adapter.
There are also vintage Canon M39-LTM lenses etc.
As told by rover from 1932 on you can use it all...

oK,Ok, I notice that there are many different lens that I knew but I though they were used only in old cameras.
But a current lens only leica, voighlander and zeiss.
I,m looking for a 50mm not very expensive but I think tha a will have to expend a little more quite of money😕 .
Today I lost a auction in e-bay I bidd 400 eur, and the winner 402 eur for a mint Zeiss 50 mm:bang:

The Voigtlander Skopar (50mm f/2.5) is the cheapest 50 you can buy new.

...and a lovely little lens it is too.

The 50 skopar is a nice lens, if you can find a canon 50 1.8 screw mount those are great too and well priced.

I read o lot of opinnions about differents lens, 50 mm and 40 mm and I decided to look for Heliar 50 mm f.2. As well I have good sales in this forum with a 40 mm Nokton f 1.5

 

[fernandez_diez]

I don.t know the best choice, Heliar f2 50mm or Nokton 50mm f1.5.
Please, a advice?

I would go with the Nokton 50mm f1.5 because although I was very pleased with the results from the Heliar and I loved the look of it, I was always forget to open the lens out when I shot. So that was just me.😱

Don't forget the Konica M-Hexanon 50mm f2. Probably as close to a modern Summicron as you can find, and some say even better. They go for around $400-500 these days for a mint copy.
