terry_rory Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 If you have a 35mm/2 Summicron (ASPH or non ASPH) I would love to seeyour best work with it please. Any weblinks to your PN galleries (or non PN galleries) or 35Summicron pics in this thread would be appreciated. Portraits/available light/colour/B&W/street.... anything please.(Even weddings if thats what you have!) I have been spending some time reading lots of user reviews of the 35Summicron ASPH and it sounds incredible. Trouble is that I cannot findany reviews with photos to demonstrate it's wonderful-ness. I want to see some idea of its capabilities. Or maybe you know of a NG or Magnum photographer who has pics you knoware taken with this lens type? Thanks.

terry_rory Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 I will start the ball rolling with a couple of 40mm pics (I dont have any 35mm lenses).... <center><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/3779191-lg.jpg"></center> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry_rory Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 First two were with a 27 year old Olympus Trip 35 with a Zuiko 40mm f2.8 and the third one was with a Leica Summarit 40mm at f/2.4. The 35mm Summicron ASPH is supposed to have no light fall off in the corners (unlike my Trip 35!) and to present excellent bokeh and sharpness even wide open. Can you show me this please?

steve_unsworth1 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 http://www.steveunsworth.co.uk/PAW/index.htm <p> A lot of the shots from week 8 onwards were taken using this lens. The lens used for a shot is noted on each page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_rory Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 This is one I took once with an R3A/50mm Summicron last year which displays certain light properties that I liked. (The content is a bit rubbish though. Sorry just using it as a test for this thread.) I can see imperfections in the thickness of the glass and a little sharpness in the texture in the fabric but the background OOF is nice. (I like it anyway)....<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omar_ozenir2 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I try to keep a small sample of my work in PN. Check my gallery, most photos have equipment details, and almost half of the pics have been taken with the 35mmf/2.0 ASPH. Having said that, I don't think it's a good idea to try see the merits of this lens from these small photos. Just my point of view... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_rory Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Agreed but its a good start. Gives me some idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmishkar Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Trevor, On my site: www.larrymishkar.com check out the Finland and Spain portfolio pages. Shots there were with either 35mm ASPH 'cron or 90mm elmarit. Your b/w images in your gallery are wonderful. I'm sure which ever lens you pick, the work will be solid.

andreatau Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 > Please point me towards your 35mm Summicron pics They are all in albums and boxes at home, and I'm 16 thousand km away from it. But if you ever happen to be in northern Norway give me a buzz and I'll offer you a cup of (milk-free!) tea while you peer through my Summicron pics ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronald_wills Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Trevor, check out our own Stefan Rohners portfolio here on photo.net. He makes beautiful use of an M-6 and 35mm summicron asph with Tri-X. My favorite combo, also. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_yankin Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 You people really aren't embarrassed to say you'd buy/not buy a lens based on <200KB web uploads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivek iyer Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Good point, Yankin! The Trip shots floor the expensive Summicron ones! I would get a bunch of Oly Trips based on these instead of worrying about different versions of Summicrons- not to mention the costs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
