The Leica 50mm f/2 Summicron lens was introduced for Leica HCB used one through his life for a reason.Illustration courtesy of Leica Camera AG. It is trully excellent, without the super contrast of modern lenses. It took several tries to find a clean one.but i still had a CLA. Here is a sample of what this lens can do.ĭu willst die Bilder sehen? Einfach registrieren oder anmelden! BDP_062a.jpg It turns into a different lens when stopped down for event or street shooting at f5.6 to f11. Wide open makes it a perfect portrait lens because of the center sharpness and the more fuzzy sharpens on the edges.
It's a whole other story to go the other way because you would have already sacrificed the details in both the highlights and shadow areas of your image. I love the quality of the images from this lens because it has medium contrast, which is perfect for Photoshop Post Work!!! I don't like a lens that is too contrasty. I was lucky because the person who owned this lens, knew better to clean the lens once and stick a Leitz filter on it to protect the very soft lead front class of this lens.

So, with that being said, the mirrorless cameras, especially full frame cameras, gave me the opportunity to try out a lens that I got for a hell of a deal for $200 almost mint condition. I know, I have blasphemed posting the fact that I am using a Sony A7 instead of a Leitz/Leica body of some kind. I bought the Leitz 50mm f2 Collapsible Summicron which was made in 1952, for my Sony A7 camera body. Well, I see the last posting was in the year 2013 about the 50mm f2 Collapsible Summicron and it seems that Most comments here are not too encouraging. Hallo Gast!ĭu willst die Bilder sehen?

I also found no problem on close up to 1 meter with nice bokeh with the lens fully open ( this depends on glass quality of individual lens, as many of this lens are of ages) in terms of size, and price point - IMHOI am owning this lens and using on my M8, M3, and Leica III without problem on collapsing the tube. Will post the reviews for your reference if I found this. I went through reviews before I bought this lens, and find most of the reviews are helpful and reliable. I also found no problem on close up to 1 meter with nice bokeh with the lens fully open ( this depends on glass quality of individual lens, as many of this lens are aged) (This lens should be alright to use on M9 - IMO, suggest to try this lens on M9 with guidance at shop or service center).
