When it comes to optics, glass plays the key role in rendering lights onto film or sensor. Yesterday, I received a PM pointing to a great opportunity for a 50 Summicron, box & papers in tact. I have not had much luck with finding one in the last several months. As you may have read, I already bought a ZM Planar 50/2.0 as a substitute. As great as the Zeiss is, this Summicron is a silver chrome version (made of brass), produced in 2001. It just feels different than aluminum M lens. For one, it's heavier. It also turns fluidly and quickly. After a few test shots, I couldn't resist and now I've got it! I only had time to take few pictures with it, so here goes, in sepia tone:
The 50 Summicron, in mint condition. It's amazing how fast these things get picked up. As soon as I said yes, the seller received another phone call asking for this lens!
Soon I will have to decide which lens(es) to let go as I have too many! LOL.
Have a good week,
Wisrute
