cv 50/2.5 color skopar

IIIF and similar Leica viewfinders results with photohraphs which taken with larger format. I spent good time to understand these finders and learned that they are inversted galileo telescopes. The trick with them is the ability to see everything , close or distance in focus and sharp. I never be able to use SLR , May be because of it. I can openly say , I hate japanese lenses and I found them terrible whoever make them but except 50s Nikon Rangefinder lenses. Many people at 50s USA , preferred them to Leitz and they are really excellent. Do your best and try them , Summitar , Summaron , Summar are matchless and the RF Nikons.

thank you, Umut. i will see what i can do. a good example of the 50 color skopar - which i have - is said to give the older leitz lenses a run for their money. i would dearly love to have a well-preserved elmar 50/3.5 ...

I used that 5cm/3.5 Elmar and you can find the examples at my gallery. This kind of lens never produced by japan . I have an Leica Mini Zoom Elmar 35-70 mm and I looked to its mtf graph per 35,50 and 70mm. 35 and 70 is like Sum series and 50 is like Telyt.You dont need invest big money to older Leica lenses , these cameras goes from 40 to 60 dollars and there are EL and SUM versions. Give a try to SUM first , it is velvetly smooth rendering capacity , colors and their pallette changes with light . If light cold , everything fits in this regard and the most 3 dimensional , high and low contrast together cold tones you get.But the light is hot , everything looks like a spanish oil painting , you cant believe the intensity of reds , orange , reds and blacks and the fluorescent colors.Its like two women characters in one woman. Its that complicated and excellent.If you go for it , start with SUM .Best , Umut

Rather like this abstract Paul. Nice textures too.
