<em>Nikon D50 | Leitax | Summicron-R 35/2.0</em></p>

<p>I currently own a 35mm F/2.0 Summicron-R which I regularly use on my Leica R6 and occasionally on my Nikon D50 and Nikon D300 using a Leitax adaptor. Below I've given a link to some of the <a href=" Shots on Flickr</a>. The shots were taken from June 2008 to July 2010 and please bear in mind that most of the shots have been minimally post processed using either Photoshop or Lightroom. To summarise my opinion on the lens:<br>

A 35mm lens is possibly the most generally useful of all focal lengths in 35mm camera photography. It is ideal for general travel photography, street scenes, groups and family snaps. It gives a markedly wider view than a standard 50mm lens but does not pose the difficulties often encountered with wider angle lenses, when it comes to composition and keeping the camera level.<br>

I hope those samples could offer some help to this thread.<br>

<p>Some nice shots Chris, I have to agree with you after looking at the shots above. Saturation is definitely Ektar's strong point (comparing to other negatives). And it is also never have they developed any film that I remember of that combined quality of high latitude and good saturation all in a single film. I only wish they are more easily available from where I live (Malaysia). A big bravo to Kodak. However, I heard rumors from some friends that the street price is a little steep, close to slide film, is it true?</p>
