#COLLAPSIBLE 50MM SUMMICRON FULL#
Raaj's first theorem: Most "artists" are full of it.įirst Corollary to the First Theorem: They are sometimes full of themselves as well I have one of these collapsible beasts and you've inspired me to pull it out when I return home. One of the dining rooms - always ready for the evening dinners However, for these shots in soft light, the M9 default colours are quite pleasant. the native Kodachrome colour scheme defaulted seems a bit much for my eyes. One of these days I should really profile the camera for colour. Normally, I don't really like Leica M9 colours and therefore usually prefer B&W. Here are some snaps from today's early afternoon - all with the collapsible 50. Normally, for 50mm, I use my similarly ancient Summilux or the 1.0 Noctilux. I was surprised that the ancient Summicron focused perfectly on the M9 and, although it seems relatively low contrast, particularly wide open, it still seems to work well. Then we decided to go to a park with a historical ranch house that is commonly used for weddings and is also a noted fine dining restaurant which was closed for food however is almost always open for visitors.
Today, I blew the dust off of the lens (quite deep ) and wanted to see if it really worked.įortunately, my friend Kat came over to sit in the sunshine in the back yard and sip some wine. One of the lenses I have had for many decades but seldom use is the 50mm Collapsible Summicron.
