1950's era Nikkor P.C. 10.5 cm f/2.5 LTM on the M9-P (a cool old, longer sonnar design with a look all of its own). I snagged the lens for use on the MM, but it does quite well on the M9 as well...




One the MM, to give a sense of the OOF properties wide open...as that Sonnar creaminess...

this is my mid-1950s Chiyoda Kogaku (pre-Minolta) Super Rokkor 50mm F1.8 used with my Leica M8.1 (M8u) Probably my favourite lens i own! (yes, i like it even more than my 50mm Summilux)

That 50/1.5 ZM is as new lens as it can be (despite the "C" designation). :poke: ;)

Cam, Hope your knee is better. I found my 20mm Russar after a long time.

Time to start your own thread on the ZM 50 1.5 C ... I rather like the way it images. And it is a rare old lens that I really desire to use...some great examples here, but I tend to avoid bad glass...I am rather adept at messing up pictures without adding that to the equation.

I just love the "grain" structure from the MM (unless there is any post process induced it). :)
