I love the painterly feel of the bokeh in this image. Wonderful.'52 - Summarex 1,5/85mm M9

Woody, i've got a 21/3.4 SA that i can try out for you if you want.Any views on the 21mm Super-angulon f4.0 for digital B&W. I'm aware of the color shift issue which shouldn't affect my MM. Is there any evidence of "smearing" - another artifact associated with non-retrofocus very wides?
They've gotten expensive on eBay.
Please post (no need to "try" what can go wrong? ) plus pictures with every other lens you have.Woody, i've got a 21/3.4 SA that i can try out for you if you want.
I look forward to them.Hmm. My Hektor 135/4.5 qualifies, and soon the two M-Rokkors will too. I better pull out the Hektor and make some photos.
Thanks. Take some exposures and post them. With an MM if you've got it; converted to B&W but no cornerfix if you don't.Woody, i've got a 21/3.4 SA that i can try out for you if you want.
will do, Vivek... the "try" comment was going to be blamed on the rain (but it's been sunny) -- the truth is i messed up my knee and am somewhat lame right now. each day a bit better, so i hope to be hobbling around with the camera soon. i'm think one day, one lens sort of thing... care to bring down some of your goodies and join me?Please post (no need to "try" what can go wrong? ) plus pictures with every other lens you have.
will do. i anticipate it vignetting as it does on my M2... lovely razor sharp little lens, though, that has been languishing. i think it will zing on the MM.Thanks. Take some exposures and post them. With an MM if you've got it; converted to B&W but no cornerfix if you don't.
Not sure I understand the "'Old lenses' and not recycled pictures." bit there, Vivek.I look forward to them.Originally Posted by Godfrey

["Old lenses" and not recycled pictures.]
yum to your lenses!Here is my grand plan, Cam.
1. Convert my Fujinon 50/1.2 to m mount to use on the (future) MM.
2. Put the Wild Heerbrugg Reconar 98mm f/1 in some focus mount to use on the (distant future) M.
The first one is a real prospect and could happen fairly quickly.
The comment about "what can go wrong" had some reason. Those who do not know about the old super angulon do not know how far that sticks in to the mount and how careful one has to be to use it.
Oh. Well, old pictures from film days wouldn't be "Old lenses on new Leicas" unless a new MP or M7 was included there. ;-)Hi Godfrey, I would only have old pictures to offer (from film) and not new pictures with old lenses like you said you would post (which is in line with what Woody intended, perhaps). Hope that clarifies.
