The version IV Summicron 50mm (from 1979) is the best (thanks to the considerably improved double Gauss formula of Dr. I own both Wetzlar (and Solms) and Midland optics and see little difference between them. The limited f2.0 maximum aperture is also well within the focus accuracy capabilities of the 0.72X magnification VF-RF rangefinder effective base dimension. But if you like to see things outside of, or before they come into, the VF frameline, then 0.72X is not a bad choice. I think you have answered part of your questions (the 0.85X finder, if you are not going to wide angle lenses). I'm not too worried about seeing too much else around the frame. If I were to buy another lens, it would probably be a 35mm. Which magnification is best for 50mm? I've looked this up and apparently the 0.85 would be better. Likewise with the M6, any advice on the different versions or ages would be great. Does it matter if it's an old one?Īnd does it matter if it was made in Germany or Canada? Is one better than the other?
Leica 50mm summicron serial numbers serial#
For example the different serial numbers, I'm a bit confused by all that. If the Zeiss has other qualities then maybe that would be something that swung it.Īlso if I were to go down the Summicron 50mm 2.0 route, can anyone give me some advice on different versions or different ages and if I need to look out for anything. I know it's not all about the sharpness but I don't want to buy a lens and be disappointed that it's not producing as good a shot as another lens would. And it's always handy to have a lightly faster lens. Does this sound like the right decision? But then if the Zeiss just as sharp when it's stopped down to Summicron 50mm 2.0. I have no problem with Zeiss lenses but they seem to be more difficult to get second hand and for a little bit more money I could get a Leica. The Leica 50mm 1.4 is too much money and I've read that the 2.0 is sharper anyway. I was thinking of the Zeiss 50mm 1.5 C Sonnar T*but from reading some reviews, it's not that great. I think the TTL is right as I think I will use a flash at some point.
I'm thinking of moving over from my SLR to a Leica, I've done a lot of research and I think it's going to be an M6 TTL with a Summicron 50mm 2.0.
