Just checked out your flickr Adam, some great street shots on there.
Thank you very much, that's very kind of youJust checked out your flickr Adam, some great street shots on there.
flare less than the Summicron.
I’ve had 2 50 crons (same model) and the first flared much more than the second
My V5 ‘Cron flares if I’m not careful with it. I keep looking at the 50 Summilux and wondering if it’s worth the upgrade to one. I don’t shoot much wide open so 1.4 isn’t the be all and end all.I’ve had 2 50 crons (same model) and the first flared much more than the second
I have both and I suspect I use the cron more than the lux, the lux is crisper and more modern in its rendering thoughMy V5 ‘Cron flares if I’m not careful with it.

I was very surprised by the Planar exhibiting so much flare, I gather, pre the Contax Yashica tie up they (Zeiss) were doing some pretty good work with Pentax on SMC coatings.Hi, so, maybe, there is sample variation, and I have a ZEISS with earlier coating. The flaring of the Planar surprised me, because ZEISS coating is said to be superior to Leica's.
On the other hand, I do not have an A-B comparison. Another 50 may have flared even more ..

I still have not got around to trying my C/Y lenses on the Leica M... One day ...
Superb
Thank you, it's not quite straight enough, but I was worried that the moment would go (and maybe I'd go to h£ll if I got caught )Superb
It’s just the compression by making it a much smaller photoNot sure but looks like you missed focus on the eyes?
They look soft to me?
Looks very good, yet you're selling that lens - any reason for that?
I'm 80 with sparrows wrists, the combo is just too heavy for me at 3.6lb. I'm going back to M4/3 Macro, OM-1 + 90mm F3.5 Macro at just 2.3lb a saving of 1.3lb.Looks very good, yet you're selling that lens - any reason for that?
