travis1 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 any kind soul has shot with the above? Would like to see some samples. I luv that lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orvillerobertson Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 That would be interesting pairing the latest M with one of the oldest M lenses. Personally I tend to match old bodies and newer lenses. Travis, are you thinking seriously about an M8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis1 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 yes Orville. I have quite a few old leica lenses now collecting dust. I can't find a rd1 here but have plenty of @!@!@!expensive m8s. Close to USD6ooo. I missed my summarons in action and i just can't get back to films. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orvillerobertson Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I hope you find a way to match them together. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt_evers Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Found some from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kj_surfcamp/tags/leicasummaron35mmf35ltm/page2/">a flickr user here</a> (not my shots) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_Es Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I have both. Give me a day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james mitchell dc Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Travis, if you want any other older lens examples on the M8, let me know. I don't have that particular lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray . Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 An M8? Really? You equipment hound. I bet yours and Alex's cameras would take up an entire room... ;) I used to have a Summaron as my only lens, then one day after I'd updated to a pre-asph the Summaron disappeared. Only thing I've ever been able to figure out is that it must have gone out to the trash accidentally mixed up with some newspapers... Do you have it? Do you have a GRD? You've got to have a GRD, Travis. You must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis1 Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 thx James..(going to send u the parcel soon ;)) thx Alex, where r u alex?! ;) Ray, no grd. I have the gx though...so i think i know how the grd will function..;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_neuthaler Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Travis, I would think (hope) that the tried-and-true 3.5 Summaron will be fine on the M8. I use my 3.5 all over my screwmounts and previous M's -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian bastin Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Travis, I don't believe the GX is much like the GRD, which is in a class of its own. I agree with Ray - it would suit your style. Looking forward to those M8 Summaron shots from Alex ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis1 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 I think Alex is developing the M8 shots in some chemical.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
