leica 75mm Summarit coming from Leica

[Guy Mancuso]

Note to self......when dreaming of a 75 lux refer back to pictures of the beast (it is huge!)

Do you know how either the Summarit or the Lux compares size wise to a 75 'cron?

Terry I think the Cron and the Summarit are around the same size , maybe a touch bigger on the Cron. May have to look that one up

 

[Guy Mancuso]

Should I send you my 75/2A to include in the comparison? Would it make it there before you have to return the 'rit?

Jan if you want that would be great . i have to have the Summarit back on the 15th . So maybe Monday here in Phoenix or whatever works best for you. i maybe able to get one local also. Let me check with Jim and Linda my leica reps here in town they should have a cron. Or maybe get Leica to send me one

Ah crap , this is going to hurt bad. Check this out against the 75 lux . Now we are talking small here. this is a huge difference in size

I shot these at ISO 640 the whole lot. i have one that may make you run to the store FAST

Next time you shoot 2 lenses side by side to compare "bulk", please keep both on the infinity mark. It helps!
This way is not accurate...

 

[Guy Mancuso]

Oop's was not thinking about that one. Okay take 3/8 of a inch of the top please and next time i will trim around the ears also.

 

[sisoje]

Hey Guy,
I see you use "steer" on the lux 75... I am considering it. What is your take on it?
On the other hand, you might sell your lux 75 and get that other tiny 75?

 

[Mark Gowin]

I predict Guy will buy a 75mm Summarit. Granted that isn't a big leap in predictions. LOL

 

[Guy Mancuso]

Wise guy's lol. Mark please post some of your 75 summarits here, you had some real nice ones. If i got the Summarit i would not sell the Lux , i need one long 1.4 lens in my kit.


The Steer is nice and works but it could be made nicer too. Carsten hates it and I like it so personal taste on it

 

[jonoslack]

Okay have to share . Almost had a disaster. I was walking out the back door with the 2 75mm in one hand and the M8 and the 50 lux to shoot the size comparision and of course my strap was hanging down and my English Pointer Drake decided he was going where Dad was going. Drake fortunetly is a tall dog because otherwise when the damn strap went around his neck and he bolted out the door with MY M8 and 50 lux straped around his bloody neck it luckily never hit the ground and being a good boy he stopped dead in his tracks as i let out the shriek of horror the word STOP . All is well and my heart is back in place.

You have an English pointer - I have a flat coat retriever - he had been swimming - he rushed out of the pond and straight across the field with M8 and WATE and frankenfinder around his neck - probably 75 feet before I could get him to sit (also a good boy, but he was travelling fast and WET) - every leap and the damn thing hit the ground again - I had to scrape the mud off!

they build them right!

Whay was the camera around the dogs neck and not yours?

Hey Guy, Happy Birthday! (had mine on Monday). I got my 75 Summarit from B&H yesterday and took some quick knockaround images and will try and post some tomorrow or Friday. This is technically my first post, so they would be part of my second. It's truly a nice little lens -- reminds me of a 90-C I had when I had my first Leica (a CL) back in the 1990s.

 

[Guy Mancuso]

Thanks . yes please post any 75mm shots you have folks. love to see what it is made of. Start testing it tomorrow against the Lux

It is so heavy that [snip]

:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:

I -wish- my lenses were only this heavy!

Rangefinders have such light lenses I'm eagerly hoping to pick up an M8 and a couple of lenses next year so I have a light weight travel option.

But I acknowledge, for a Rangefinder lens, it is heavy.

 

[ChrisDauer]

You have an English pointer - I have a flat coat retriever - he had been swimming - he rushed out of the pond and straight across the field with M8 and WATE and frankenfinder around his neck -

This is why I have a cat!
Plus he's a lazy cat (a la Garfield), so I often have a static subject looking at me, and not moving very much. He's probably the one constant in all my test shots.

[Jack]

Chris --- With the cat comment, you've just made it 90% of the way to Leica ownership :ROTFL:

 

[roubaix]

OK,

That does it. I can't take it any more. I've got to get a 75 'rit.

Merry Christmas to me.

[Guy Mancuso]

Peter you really would not be sorry at all. It is damn good. See the test with the Lux on the other thread and you will see how good it really is.

 

[Huwge]

75 Summarit wide open, hand held @ ISO 640 1/25s. I love it.

 

[Guy Mancuso]

Nice sample right there , nice shot
